I followed your link from post No. 34.

It is to laugh.

The “New Turd with Wrapper Still On” could be used by some folks as a reference for the current Sainted Occupant of the Oval Office.

I have some of that stuff, inclduing a couple of fake rock radio transmitter equipped detectors, a PSID receiver and a PEWS receiver. And we are talking early 70’s for that stuff.

Thanks for the link!

Brother, in the New York region you just have to swing a cat to find dozens of people who believe deeply that the Patriot Act ushered them into some sort of Fascist police state. Granted, if you ever ask the simple question “so what freedom have you lost?” the best you usually get back is the myth of our library records being monitored (as if anyone goes to libraries any more for information anyway).

And they are all quite certain that thousands of people have been directly impacted by the Patriot Act, though again nobody can ever give you a specific case. If you bring it up, they just say “oh the press is covering it up.” Because the press was just so eager to cover up for the Bush administration. Reality never intrudes into Leftist thought.

On the nano-weapons, it’s quite worrisome that the Chinese, given their affinity to high-tech, just might come up with a game-changing weapon that leapfrogs all known defense systems and basically gives them do-what-we-say-or-else leverage over every country on earth. You have to believe they have thousands working diligently on next-gen weapon systems, having already successfully stolen most of our current weapons technology.

The Left says all the time that they worry about government intrusion into the lives of individuals, but decades of evidence shows that they are all for it, except possibly for their trophy of abortion.

From gun control to setting your thermostat for you, they are always thinking up new ways to control people’s lives. And when they get one level of control they always go for the next one.

Aside from the theatrical antics of the Left, I don’t know anyone who was the least bit concerned that the Patriot Act was going to intrude upon their life. And there are no known cases of it actually happening. But ask the victims of the Clintons’ machinations and of Prince Obamachivelli and you will hear a different story. I have no doubt they would use such devices to further their own ambitions.

And that is one reason why, in the face of all our setbacks, those who truly believe in individual freedom and limited government must keep up the fight. Because the Left does not even push buttons; they have people who do that for them. And if enough of those people see what is going on, they may salute and follow orders – but they may follow some of their own orders, too.
