Land of the crooks, home of the slaves.
Crooks and Liars:
But on April 29, when Mr. Salerno, 35, presented his passport at Washington Dulles International Airport, a Customs and Border Protection agent refused to let him into the United States. And after hours of questioning, agents would not let him travel back to Rome, either; over his protests in fractured English, he said, they insisted that he had expressed a fear of returning to Italy and had asked for asylum.
Ms. Cooper, 23, who had promised to show her boyfriend another side of her country on this visit - meaning Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon - eventually learned that he had been sent in shackles to a rural Virginia jail. And there he remained for more than 10 days, locked up without charges or legal recourse while Ms. Cooper, her parents and their well-connected neighbors tried everything to get him out.
And then:
Ms. Cooper said that at the airport, when she begged to know what was happening to Mr. Salerno, an agent told her, “You know, he should try spending a little more time in his own country.”…read on
That was probably music to Tom Tancredo’s ears. I doubt Geno would serve him a Philly cheesesteak either, but shackels?
One of the most frustrating things about the authoritarian house that Bush built is the argument that you have to trust them, they’re only doing it to “keep the country safe.” But when you put a large bunch of bozos in boots and uniforms and give them the authority to be assholes — some of them will inevitably be assholes. If you’ve read anything about the totalitarian states of the 20th century, you know what can happen.

I read about this young man's experience. Now notice how it wasn't a problem for the American people not one word or out cry. But let an American be treated like this overseas and all hell would break out. We are showing the world we have really changed. As Winston Churchill said " There is nothing to fear, expect Fear itself." We are put in fear by this Administration and it's spilling over to even guest and friends. We now look at each other with fear and in the end fear will destroy us all. Right now our Law Makers are back stabbing each other for greed as the White House gets as much tax payers money as possible before they leave. East State corrupt Leader is pulling out with as much as possible. Americans just sit back and watch American idol as our country is being robbed blind. But when the Media gets the audit report of how much debt the US is really in the blame will go to Bill Clinton and Americans will believe it. Look they believed the lie about Spitzer and even were so dumb not to know the difference between a fantasy business like Palfrey's from a Prostitution business. I shake my head ever time I look in the yellow pages and read the same advertisements of Sex Fantasy businesses yet Americans believed the lie told by the Prosecutors. At lease the World can see Americans would even believe the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale if the Bush Administration said it.
Chicken Little the sky is falling comes to mind. Yes and some even believe Harry Potter is real and at school in Hogwarts. So sad!!!
