We no longer live in the home of the brave, land of the free.

We are controlled by the hand of the Freeh, beating the Drum of Fear.


It happened slowly over decades, a steady
drum-beat of destruction of the American Way.

Solely for the benefit of those in power.

Not for the people.

It's supposed to be 'government *for* the people, by the people'.

We have slowly reached a state of McCarthyism against any elected
official who shows ANY "SIGNS OF SOFTNESS" in the War against Crime.

The constant state of War against imaginary enemies must end.

By imaginary, I mean crime was going down the whole War time.

All we are saying, is give peace a chance.

    Abraham Lincoln ordered thousands of people detained without hearings,
    and opposition newspapers shut down during the Civil War. During

    internment camps.

So why do we have all these loss of freedoms during peacetime?

Answer:

Because the Military has never stopped fighting World War II.
