Remember the "expanded" definition of potential "domestic terrorists" that came out last month?
If you supported a third-party candidate (or republican Ron Paul) possess subversive literature, are anti-abortion, believe in the possibility of the North American Union, own a "Don't Tread on Me" flag or the anti-income tax film "America: Freedom to Fascism." or protest taxes? YOU could be a domestic terrorist.

Part of this bill.....
`The Attorney General may determine that an applicant for a firearm permit which would qualify for an exemption under section 922(t) is known (or appropriately suspected) to be or have been engaged in conduct constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism, or providing material support thereof, and the Attorney General has a reasonable belief that the applicant may use a firearm in connection with terrorism.'; and
(3) in section 921(a), by adding at the end the following:
`(36) The term `terrorism' means `international terrorism' as defined in section 2331(1), and `domestic terrorism' as defined in section 2331(5).
Definition of domestic terrorist....from section 2331(5).
(5) the term "domestic terrorism" means activities that -
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended -

The stage for totalitarianism is being set, in the open, certainly against The Constitution and seemingly with no fear, or attempt to disguise it to any great degree.
Collectivism leads to totalitarianism, inevitably.
Nothing will stop it now. Elections won't do schit to correct it, on a national level.
It will take some "tipping point", or some over-reaching move by the Fed, before any real corrective measures are taken by "we the people". By that time, it may well be far too late for an awakened, yet disorganized, citizenry to effectively use "liberty's teeth" to set things right.
Wake up people....
