Maybe you should work on your reading skills (not to mention your writing skills) and then get back to me.
The irony of your post, is funnier than your inconsistencies and hypocrisy.
I guess the question, "Then why would you have to deny it?". Went well over your head.
Making your reply and failed attempt at insult, even more ironic.
Yes you are. You know admitting it is the first step in the healing process. Good for you.
Why? That half assed string, ended with you getting PWND, lol.
If I did any better, you would have thrown another tantrum.

Ya, true, but you're the only hypocrite here right now.
Funny how he always ignores that question eh?
Airport Security Is Coming to a Highway Near You
by Wendy McElroy, October 24, 2011
Clarksville Online explained the authority under which the warrantless searches were conducted, “The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security … partnered with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and several other federal and state agencies.” Among the agencies represented in the VIPR teams were Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

Isn't that what some of us have said??? Slowly , like a malignancy ........and before one fully realizes it, one is NOT living in something they have been exporting . True democracy and freedom It is happening right in front of our eyes. The word "security" has given license to politicans to install policies no one would have accepted before.

The transition to a police state will not come about with a dramatic coup d'etat, with battering rams and marauding militia. As we have experienced first-hand in recent years, it will creep in softly, one violation at a time, until suddenly you find yourself being subjected to random patdowns and security sweeps during your morning commute to work or quick trip to the shopping mall.
The headline read, “Tennessee Becomes First State To Fight Terrorism Statewide.” News Channel 5 reported that on Tuesday, October 18, Tennessee deployed multiagency “Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response” (VIPR) teams “simultaneously at five weigh stations and two bus stations across the state.” These teams conducted unannounced airport-style screenings of truck drivers at weigh stations and passengers at bus terminals.

Understanding the US Torture State
by Anthony Gregory, October 28, 2011
The United States and Torture: Interrogation, Incarceration, and Abuse edited by Marjorie Cohn (New York University Press: 2011), 342 pages.
When I was a child in Reagan’s America, a common theme in Cold War rhetoric was that the Soviets tortured people and detained them without cause, extracted phony confessions through cruel violence, did the unspeakable to detainees who were helpless against the full, heartless weight of the communist state. It was torture as much as any evil that differentiated the bad guys, the commies, from the good guys, the American people and their government. However imperfect the U.S. system was, it had civilized standards rejected by the enemy.
In April 2004, the world was shocked to see photos exposing the torment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib, one of Saddam Hussein’s most infamous prisons, which was taken over and used by the United States in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Well, most of the world was shocked. Some, mostly conservative commentators, dismissed or defended the barbarity, even comparing it to frat-boy hazing. Others were disgusted but shrugged it off as the work of a few bad apples, not something that should draw judgment down on the whole of U.S. policy and the brave men and women in uniform. Still others of us were horrified but did not see the mistreatment as any sort of aberration — we expected such torture to occur in a war of aggression, figured we had not seen the worst of it, and even argued that what goes on in America’s domestic prisons easily compares with some of the milder photos dominating the nightly news.

we should all care. It will gradually affect us in Canada as it does in other parts of the world.
the tragedy is that they have allowed FEAR to control them and have gone into a major defensive mode for protection. They are bombarded with terrorist and war talk to the point that the new norm does not even represent what the US was designed to be. They have surrendered their principles , values , ethics for weaponry and war talk. All along they are isolating themselves as if that will protect them from themselves.
It is more of a very sad place now as opposed to 'terrible" as you describe it.

The real battlefield is your mind
How did the land of the free and the home of the brave arrive at a place where citizens could be manipulated with such efficiency and on such a massive scale?
Psywar : Information Clearing House: ICH
A rather insightful article. When folks are that easily manipulated into supporting violence , aggression and wars........it is almost too late ....
the tragedy is that those that are still open minded and seeing what is happening are condemned in the most vile way. The mob mentality has taken over .& that is very scary.

The US is a Police State
Review of Andrew Kolin, State Power and Democracy
By Prof. John McMurtry
November 09, 2011 "Information Clearing House" Many readers may have thought the U.S. is “like a police state” - - think of the security dress down of everyone boarding a flight within the U.S. sphere of control. Political scientist Andrew Kolin goes far beyond hasty analogue. He argues with rich factual substantiation that the U.S isa police state all the way down – not only since the stolen elections and war state of George Bush Jr., but before and since in a cumulative throughline of bureaucratized despotism across borders.
