"The survey indicates a partisan divide on the question: only 37 percent of Democrats, 63 percent of Independents and nearly 7 in 10 Republicans say the federal government poses a threat to the rights of Americans."

Holy Paranoia. The irony is that most of the threats to our rights were proposed, built and pushed through by the right (Patriot Act, Corporate Financing).

Have you tried riding a snow mobile in a National Park lately without The Man telling you to stay to the designated paths? Some of us don't want to stay to the friggin paths, there's no freedom in that. That's oppression, man.

I can't blow smoke in your face, people want to fine me for throwing my butts out of my car, they want me to eat healthy, and they're forcing me to believe in science... how is that NOT oppressive?

The bottom line is that these people want to be liberated, like the Iraqis.
