Exercising One's Rights or Homegrown Terrorism

Recently, I read an article about people protesting and a new legal right to arrest protesters and detain them in military facilities as potential terrorists. There was a disturbing picture of a young woman involved in a Pro Life protest and being arrested. In the article, there was a lengthy list of things that people could oppose and be arrested for, such as taxes. After reading the article, I thought this was absolutely outrageous. In Western society, we have the right to stand up for what we believe in, but it certainly doesn't make us terrorists. Really, how far are our governments going to go to strip us of our rights in the name of safety?! What do you think?

Yes, it is really happening. Now, the question is, what do we do about it?

The offical war on terror is over, so they say. Now that gives all those bureaucrats and law enforcement time to concentrate on catching those who oppose their agenda here at home.
