The Patriot Act, Eminent Domain, Real ID, the North American Union, all slowly eating away at your freedoms, getting fat on your rights as an American. You may call it fascism, you may call it the police state, you may call it protection, but we can call it oppression. America is bleeding out her freedom faster and faster every day. This article will show you that the line between democracy and fascism, is the same line between freedom and security, and that line is getting thinner and thinner.

If you live near a border of the US, then you are familiar with road blocks, or check points, sponsored by your local agents of the Department of Homeland Security.
