And We Trust Them Why?, March 20, 2007
This review is from: America's Unpatriotic Acts (Paperback)
Let me relate, we have a passive media, that would really have something to report if they would really report real news. The abuses of our freedoms conducted by this government post 9/11, hardly registered a blimp on the radar screens of our media outlets. But let Russell Crow blow his nose, and we get the blow by blow, how much and what color.
Our Constitution, is slowly but surely being destroyed, and most of America knows nothing about it. Our so called free press is missing in action. But we know what color Brad Pitt's undies are.
This author is sending up flares, left and right, and we are too star struck to realize what is happening. Our Civil Rights are being flushed, and we hardly notice. Human Rights are being trampled, and I will bet the government with all of its snoping knows whether or not you are even wearing underwear. All of this and where is the common everyday citizen, he/she is too busy to care. Somewhat like the people in pre-World War II Germany. The people just looked the other way, and Hitler became the world's worst mass murderer in the history of this world. Look out America.
Here is a book that is sounding the alarm and we do not notice. We send our troops into a war zone and "Well it is not my Son or Daughter". Every one in the Iraqi war is someone's mother, father, sister, or brother. Someone's friend, or fellow citizen. The author here is trying to get the American people to wake up. We have a Tyrant in the White House, and he is being so evasive. Our lesgistative branch, and even the judical branch are all in this together. Notice no restraints, no real attempts to put a stop to the madness. And legislators who rarely read what they vote for.
Read how this government is begining to look like every other dictatorship in the history of the world. Deportations, secret arrests, wiretaps, torture, it is all here, and we appear to be afraid to look at ourselves in the mirror. How we continue to want to call our nation free. How if you criticize what is going on, on Capitol Hill, provided you know in the first place, you are labelled as "UNPATRIOTIC".
Wake up America, pick up this book and read it, and pass it on.

A chilling portrayal of the increased trampling of civil rights in America today, September 8, 2005
This review is from: America's Unpatriotic Acts (Paperback)
America's Unpatriotic Acts: The Federal Government's Violation Of Constitutional And Civil Rights is a stinging indictment of America's abusive acts, particularly against its own residents and citizens, in the twenty-first century. Chapters address how post-9/11 hysteria prompted the passing of vague legislation that attacked civil liberties; the secret rounding up, jailing, and deportation of American residents who had committed no crime whatsoever due, largely due to ethnicity; the abominations perpetrated at Guantanamo Bay; how restricting protestors of any kind to "free-speech zones" around the president and government officials does not protect them (anyone meaning harm simply has to avoid carrying a protest sign) but creates the media illusion that their policies are supported without dissent; and more. A chilling portrayal of the increased trampling of civil rights in America today.
