From the NYTimes:
In the first counterterrorism strategy of its kind in the nation, roving teams of New York City police officers armed with automatic rifles and accompanied by bomb-sniffing dogs will patrol the city’s subway system daily...
Not since World War Two's massive internments have we seen local police forces teaming up with ICE raids and Homeland Security as much as we have seen in the last five years. The 404-6 marginal acceptance of bills like HR 1955 and ideologically-based violence against protesters point in a dismal direction. The U.S. military's development and use of civilian control technologies like Active Denial Systems and other directed-energy weapons make the government's control (ideological and physical) very possible and real. I recall last weekend at the West Coast Journalism Conference in L.A. Salvadoran journalist Roberto Lovato saying, "I've never seen the United States look so much like El Salvador in my life!"

Too bad they won't kick his ass back to El Salvador
Um. Wow. Well actually Mr. Lovato was born in the United States, thus making him a US citizen. I imagine you advocate massive pogroms against Hispanic migrant workers, and whoever else looks brown to you. And I suppose that's how our dismal future will be: citizens and non-citizens regardless of their status will be rounded up by the millions and deported. And these policies will be driven by maniacal racist fanatics like yourself.
CNN/YouTube: "What do you dislike most about America?"
Romney: "Gosh, I love America."
