There is no such thing as a federal misdemeanor, but what do I know?....
Actually, there is. Most common example is a speeding ticket in a national park. Federal land = federal court.
Just pointing that out.
Brothers....I don't say this to be negative, but the end of many things is upon this world. This Iraq war will likely turn into WWIII. THE USA WILL NOT START IT! However, I really believe other nations will take what happens in Iraq as their chance to make a move. It will not be a 10-day quickie like the last one. Saddam is a caged animal, and an animal is most dangerous in only two situations....when it's caged and must fight or when it's protecting its young.
I knew when 9/11 happened that life in the USA was over as we knew it. It was the beginning of radical changes Americans would normally never tolerate. The average American sheep will sell liberty to feel secure. They will have neither.
When the Homeland Security Act passed, I really cleaned up my Internet traffic. Although the feds might be watching everything I was doing up to then, they legally couldn't use it. Now, the slate (legally-speaking) is blank, and I keep it that way.
I see two outcomes for this year. One is that America degenreates into a police state where we have no freedom anymore all to be "safe" from terrorism. The other is that enough Americans rise up to "revive" our nations traditional values.
Yes, religion would be part of such a revival, but for all anyone would dare criticize, commie nations spent decades infiltrating our culture with a single objective....break down our religious faith and replace it with humanism. They recognized that our faith in God (even if you're an atheist, this is still true) gave us the strength to overcome. That's why communist societies eliminate religion ASAP....to make the people dependant on the government, instead of God, for all their needs.
America has to return back to it's roots. I do hope that when disaster comes to our shores, Americans find their collective backbone and stand up to all oppressors....especially those within our own government who would claim to be our protectors. Maybe then we'd see a return to the promises in the Constitution that have long been eroded away.
