It seems only yesterday that Americans, or those interested in their civil liberties, were shocked that the Bush regime so flagrantly violated the FlSA law against spying on American citizens without a warrant. A federal judge serving on the FISA court even resigned in protest to the illegality of the spying.
Nothing was done about it. "National security" placed the president and executive branch above the law of the land. Civil libertarians worried that the US government was freeing its power from the constraints of law, but no one else seemed to care.
Encouraged by its success

I find it disturbing how history often repeates itself, yet people are ignorant of that repetition. Just as the Nazis used "National Security" to oppress their own, our government is doing the same the thing. What's even worse, is that our founding fathers and notable patriots of our past, have warned us over and over again that these tactics would be employed and that we shouldn't, under any circumstances, allow such policies to prevail. We have been told of the tactics and the consequences of such tactics, spelled out so that any 2nd grader could understand, yet we ignored the warnings and now the piper plays his tune.

As to gass chambers:
the US turned away boat loads of Jewish refugees and sent them off to Germany to their fate, so must bear equal guilt as a participant in that fate, since they knew what it would be, and something like half of the people that went to the gas chamber in Texas while Bush was governor have been exonerated as being innocent post humously by DNA...
Prolly most were black.
So when numbers are compared to principles, there doesn't appear to be much difference.
Kissinger said there are those that would even like their enslavement.
