- inactive, on 11/30/2007, -2/+184Anti-American or Anit-American Government? The difference is monumental. Many of us are 100% Pro-America and want it restored to the Republic as it was given to us. We are the same ones who see the current government as a completely corrupt and out of control leviathan that has done a 180 from the rules set up by the FF.
DHS can suck my nuts. - IrishJoe, on 11/30/2007, -5/+114Can anyone say Fahrenheit 451?
- ApokalypseNow, on 11/30/2007, -1/+87So how, exactly, does this help the fire department, you know, fight fires?
- inactive, on 11/30/2007, -2/+71Sorry lady, we can't put your house fire out till you say something nice about Bush.
- DJNephilim, on 11/30/2007, -2/+63When the Nazis came for the communists
I remained silent
I was not a communist
When they locked up the social democrats
I remained silent
I was not a social democrat
When they came for the trade unionists
I did not speak out
I was not a trade unionist
When they came for the Jews
I remained silent
I wasn't a Jew
When they came for me
there was no one left to speak out
-Pastor Martin Niemöller - smek2, on 11/30/2007, -1/+61I always found the name "Homeland Security" something straight out of the Third Reich. Heimat Sicherheit. *shudder*
- kazersoza, on 11/30/2007, -0/+57HS is the new SS
- 4Paws, on 11/30/2007, -0/+43Time for a revolution.
- alphaone, on 11/30/2007, -0/+43WTF, this wasn't China yesterday...
- aspec, on 11/30/2007, -3/+46I own a copy of the Qur'an. Just arrest me. You don't have to burn down my house to find it.
- Norante, on 11/30/2007, -0/+39Nineteen Eighty Four should be obligatory reading in every school and college of this country.

- themali, on 11/30/2007, -0/+30why do we have amendments when we create laws to bypass them? whats the point?
- Fafnir43, on 11/30/2007, -1/+29Like you blew their ***** heads off when you found out they were running an illegal surveillance program? Or like you blew their ***** heads off when they suspended habeas corpus? Or maybe like you blew their ***** heads off when they rigged two elections and led the country into a war? Face it, it's never going to happen. Stop sitting on your arse fantasising about it, and get out there and do something useful like campaigning for Paul/Kucinich/Gravel/any candidate that promises to stop the madness. That way you might actually help the situation.
- delafere, on 11/30/2007, -2/+29Don't assume the firefighters will be pleased by this, or that they have any illusions about their poor treatment by Guiliani.
- inactive, on 11/30/2007, -0/+26Spoken like a true fascist.
- itchcity, on 11/30/2007, -0/+25I think I'll start keeping my "Bush Rules" t shirt in a glass emergency case next to the phone in case my house catches fie
- sixdust, on 11/30/2007, -2/+26***** You Homeland Security. Come get me. If any FDNY dares be a *****, I would set them on fire myself, if my house catches fire, I may just consider putting it out with my neighbors. The FDNY is there to put fires out in NY, pretty soon they will start the fires, just like in Fahrenheit 451. No amount of heroism during the tragic days of 9/11 can justify this, disgrace to our country. Good thing I am getting ready to leave this ***** anyway. Canada or Europe, here I come.
- MacEnvy, on 11/30/2007, -1/+24The problem isn't that the references are overused, the problem is that there are far too many cases where they're relevant to our current situation.
- misterRobot, on 11/30/2007, -1/+24Yes ***** the DHS indeed. I once saw a car with the DHS seal on it and it scared the crap out of me. I think i got the same feeling seeing that car I would have gotten if I had seen someone with bomb strapped to their chests. Who are the terrorists again?
- SiNN4R, on 11/30/2007, -2/+24I think the time to get the ***** out of the country is fast approaching.
- mjrjr, on 11/30/2007, -1/+23So DHS now = Gestapo?
- JackandCoke, on 11/30/2007, -0/+20I vote on making a list of unamerican books and start collecting them to have in my library.
- baalzebub, on 11/30/2007, -2/+22you stole my comment :) that was just what i was thinking, "not anti-american, just anti-big_brother"...
- TwinTurboMike, on 11/30/2007, -1/+211984 is a documentary dropped off by the aliens from the future.
- atdigg, on 11/30/2007, -1/+20We'd like to wateboard you though before.
- kmadigan, on 11/30/2007, -3/+22Fahrenheit 451!
- TwinTurboMike, on 11/30/2007, -1/+19They will soon be renamed, "Firing Squad" to better align with their new duties.
- codesuidae, on 11/30/2007, -0/+17Great, as long as we don't hear from you again we'll just assume your still doing fine.
- inactive, on 11/30/2007, -9/+26We need Ron Paul elected as President to stop this!
- wakananda, on 11/30/2007, -0/+16The structure of (Constitutional) American government is profoundly anti-government in nature: the Separation of Powers divides government against itself, in order to limit it's power. Those who assert the doctrine of a "Unitary Executive" are anti-American because there is not only no Constitutional basis (or any other rational basis) for the assertion, but it goes directly against the bedrock principle of the Constitution of the United States. Because the only legitimate government is Constitutional, these oil company and banking pirates are themselves "anti-government" in the strictest sense of the word.
- golemShed, on 11/30/2007, -1/+17Oceania has always been at war with East Asia.
- inactive, on 11/30/2007, -1/+17(sigh)
Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 coming together. How sad. - RedHerringHack, on 11/30/2007, -1/+17Holy Crap! Have you seen the Alabama Department of Homeland Security's definition of antigovernment groups? Thats ME! And pretty much everyone else in America at this point. This is going to get messy.
- dcormier, on 11/30/2007, -1/+15I don't know. But the FD don't need a warrent to enter your home. I'd guess that's why they were tasked with this.
- AshamedAmerican, on 11/30/2007, -12/+26I'm sure I'll still get dugg down for my name and icon though. :p
- Naga10, on 11/30/2007, -0/+14Nope. Canada was a business transaction.
- TwinTurboMike, on 11/30/2007, -2/+16°F 111000011
- Konstantino, on 11/30/2007, -2/+16Well, it was 23 years late, but here we are. (Please try to get the reference).
- misterRobot, on 11/30/2007, -0/+14I admire your passion, but I see too many people in the country that are not ashamed of what is happening and not scared to lose their liberties. (obviously not on digg) When the "domestic enemies" are the majority, it's time to freakin' bail!
- bono4u, on 12/01/2007, -1/+14It should, this all equals the situation after 1933, the burning of the parliament of Germany. State of emergency and then Martial Law were declared. Both were used to cripple the Constitution point over point. Then the deportations began with political oppositions and later the Jews. The Nazis accused the communists for the burning of the parliament. Over 50 years later after WWII, 1986 a former General told he never could understand that the folk believed that, as he himself had heard that the SS made the burning.
There was the Gestapo installed, a secret state police, they had police informer in any town house. They had the latest spy technologies to use on the own folk.
911 =? burning of the parliament - inactive, on 11/30/2007, -2/+15I'm really disappointed in digg, and all the digg users. The total diggs of both entries of this is less than 2000, while both entries on the RIAA monitoring colleges gets 2500+ diggs each. I hate the RIAA as much as anybody, but god damn THIS IS IMPORTANT! Wake up people; if this passes, its quite possible that digg will be shut down, and then where will you go to learn about other such government evils? I love digg because the people on it are smart, and they aren't led like sheep to the slaughterhouse, so get your acts together and at least digg this up so more people can learn about it. THIS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED... NOW!
- Miche1987, on 11/30/2007, -0/+13Where do we meet to seriously discuss the plan for taking our nation back?
- Dumbledorito, on 11/30/2007, -4/+17"He IS the messiah! And I should know, I've followed a few!"
- shredswithpiks, on 11/30/2007, -1/+14shouldn't matter whether the book is "anti-american" or "anti-american-government." America is all about free speech and learning, right? The government should have no right to step in on something like this unless a person is scheming something violent and hideous.... but just reading a book or even holding views that America sucks isn't, and shouldn't be, illegal or reportable.
- mrmacky, on 11/30/2007, -0/+12We just finished reading this in Modern American lit... this is scaring the crap out of me.
- Naga10, on 11/30/2007, -0/+12This is on a poster in one of my global studies classrooms. I'm in Canada, but it's really scary to see how we can so easily forget the past.
- a5tr0cr3ep, on 11/30/2007, -1/+12wish i could give this the most diggs i have ever seen on one comment
