will we be the ones they will stick in the 800 concentration camps (also Halliburton just got a rush order for more camps at 300 million plus dollars-why do we need all these camps (see this here)

Isn't 800 enough?) A woman I met was brutalized for posting a sign about an upcoming anti-Bush rally and got three months in jail. http://worldcantwait.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=842&Itemid=184
She was a cancer patient in her 50's and was beaten by 4 policeman. A friend was recently harassed and intimidated protesting peaceably with a sign ..see the scenario here

to elasborate due to poster comment-A group of 100 protesters were there on both sides in full police presence and on a legally destinated spot..no problem. Me and one person retruend for when the oliticians left and were not there 5 minutes when she was approached and intimidated. We were just standing there on the correct side of the street holding a sign. They did not dare bother us when crowd was there.they waited till it was just two middle aged woman to harrass us.(or rather her). She did nothing wrong and nothing different from the other protesters except come alone (plus me) and in the past be a leader.
The cancer patient (a tiny woman) told me she immediately took down the sign when asked to by the policeman and when he asked for ID she did not have it as it was in the nearby car. He refused to let her get it and expressed opposite political views by his comments (see article) and proceeded to beat her up with 3 other policeman..they smashed her cancerous and painful jaw

into the concrete. Shje apparently enraged them by telling people nearby watching what her sign said and said "look at what they are doing to me" it is the cops who were wrong and if you can make it right for 4 big men to beat up a 55 year old sick woman because she left her ID in the car feet away and was not permitted to give it to them when they asked for ID, then you will have to reconsile such an opinion between you and your God..for me the ciops were very wrong in this case and guilty of police brutality..

the first incident I witnessed first hand..the 2nd was her first hand telling and I gleaned more from a conversation I had with her directly. Although I understand it is not credible for you, I also know I am a Christian who rarely has ever lied in my life as I know what I witnassed and experienced first hand.I am not privy to everything this woman I was with does, but I have been to a number of events with her and have never known her to be anything but peaceful and lind.

I meant peaceful and kind.

If you read the article. she DID not take any swings at them or resist at all..she did everything they asked..they attacked her and shoved her to the ground for her political stance. No mention of her attacking them or resisting them in any way...she also confirmed this to me when I met her when she came to Columbus.

as you can see by the answer of the poster wishing for your death for protesting, our country is in serious decline and the intelligence level has declined when people don't realize the words of founder father, Ben Franklin that they that give up essential rights for a little safety deserve neither."..when they don't realize if one american's rights are violated, all my soon follow.
Obviously people do not take the time to read and really reflect upon what is happening when a 50 year old cancer patient is given 3 months in jail for posting a sign... Americans have always criticized presidents but now it is a crime deserving being beaten and jailed and now according to the previous poster a crime worthy of death and torture. When one sees the basic decency of our values decline to the point where people not only fail to do not do unto others but actively hate and seek their demise, it is a sad reflection of a society got down the wrong road. I applaud you, your friend and the cancer patient's courage in speaking out against madness and corruption. I do not feel people should give up this right until it becomes actively dangerous to protest which likely will come in my lifetime. I think all who challenge the coming world order will go to these camps. If people have to witness other Americans blood being shed for exercising their civil rights, they will regret wishing it even upon them even if they are reps and those being oppressed and harmed are democrats..at least I hope they will care if they are the Christians they clam they are.

You should realize, now more than ever, how important it is to have a military in this country. Without soldiers who defend freedom, fight for freedom, and even die for freedom, there IS no freedom. Believe me, there will be no police state as long as we have a standing military. The men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces will not stand for it. We fight for our country because we love freedom, and we won't allow anyone, not even our own government, to take it away.
You should also realize that the stories you listed have been slanted WAY to the left by the mainstream liberal media. Also, while you have the right to protest, you do NOT have the right to protest at any time in any place in whatever manner you choose, and you are not protected against private citizens who harass or criticize you -- remember, they too have the right to freedom of speech.
In the case of the woman who was supposedly beaten by four policemen, she was posting a sign without permission (READ: illegally) and refused to stop when ordered to by police officers. When the officers attempted to arrest her she resisted and actually assaulted them. Cancer patient or not, she got what she deserved. The right to freedom of speech does not give you the right to commit an illegal act and to then assault the officers that come to arrest you. You break the law, you face the consequences, and you sure as heck DO NOT take a swing at police officers that are doing their jobs.
Protestors have a nasty habit of believing in and exercising "civil rights" that they don't have. Go ahead and protest to your heart's delight, but if the law requires you to have a permit to gather, you had better have one. And if the police tell you to move on because you're creating an unsafe situation, you had better do what they say. And if you're posting signs or flyers, you had better have the proper permission to do so. Don't cross the line from civil disobedience to criminal act.

I need some proof of what you are saying. I have been in law enforcement for 30 years and never witnessed anything like your saying. If a person had to be arrested with force it was because they resisted arrest. When you see more then one officer making the arrest its because a one on one arrest the officer is going to be hurt or the other person is going to be hurt, if two or more officers make the arrest it is less likely anyone will be hurt. I have traveled all over this country and other countries and by far this is the best country in the world. Its because of our freedoms you are allowed to say the things that you say without fear of punishment.
During world war two more restrictions were placed on the public then you have now, after the war everything returned to normal. You have more freedoms now then back in that time.

we do not needs civil rights to protest
our common sense is good enough to tell us to protect
if some unfair judgments are shovel into our throat
harassment from the authority is expected in all protests
the police jobs is to keep public stability and protectors
jobs is to make noise to gains public awareness
some comfortation shd be consider as the risk in protesting
