Re: Let the crackdown begin....
Excuse me for a second here.
But Ashcroft upgraded the Justice? Are you kidding me?
Ascrofts sense of justice is throwing someone into a FEMA Camp. He spoke HIGHLY of them, and wanted them in operation. Though, they are not 'used' yet, they will be used in the near future. Guantanamo Bay cannot hold everyone you know, and Civil Disobedience will most likely be on the rise with every Right taken away.
And the Government is doing its job well? I beg to differ, the Attorney General should not be annoucing something that the US Marshalls should be. We had a Deputy US Marshall come to our school, maybe two months ago, maybe more. Relavance is, that they take their work seriously, very seriously.
Whether or not the Dragnet was succesful, and whom they took in is besides the fact. If they were all Dissenters, then I would be raising an eyebrow, however I don't think any of us know their political views, nor where they are placed on the political spectrum.
If the United States Government wants to round up a bunch of Criminals, let them. Until they start imposing the Patriot Act on innocent victims, which they're beginning too, thats when the Dragnet of Dissenters will be.
Personally, I think that the US Marshalls should be working on returning illegal immigrants, instead of this. We will be over-run soon, if we do not do something, they just come in freely. I believe its Texas that is having extreme problems, as well as New Mexico and a few others. Why isn't there a Dragnet seeking Illegal Immigrants?
And as far as my hope for the Justice Deparment, until they repeal the PA, I will not, ever put faith in them.
