Americans do NOT pick their President. They haven't since 1789. The Electoral College picks the President.

This is step I have been fearing and the one that I have been expecting for a long time. With the whole airport screening fiasco threatening to spill over to trains and buses and the upcoming roll out of "see something say something" Walmart Gestapo, this couldn't have been far behind. The Federal Government with this act tells me they are ready to truly start turning the citizenry against itself. A dark day for America in the midst of already terribly dark few years.
In a rare and wide-ranging interview, the attorney general disclosed chilling, new details about the evolving threat of homegrown terror, and touched on topics ranging from Wikileaks to the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.
What was uppermost on his mind, however, is the alarming rise in the number of Americans who are more than willing to attack and kill their fellow citizens. "It is one of the things that keeps me up at night," Holder said.
"You didn't worry about this even two years ago -- about individuals, about Americans, to the extent that we now do. And -- that is of -- of great concern."

There are approximately 24,500 gangs in the U.S (see article 4). There were an estimated 750,000 gang members in 2000. The 2009 estimate is One Million gang members (see articles1 & 2) with 147,000 of them currently incarcerated.
Criminal gangs in the USA have swelled to an estimated 1 million members responsible for up to 80% of crimes in communities across the nation, according to a gang threat assessment compiled by federal officials.

Tell the people of North Korea, Cuba, China, Vietnam, people who grew up in the Soviet Union or East Germany, that communism never hurt anybody. Thanks for showing you true colors.
They are not REAL communists. They are fascist state capitalists. Pure and simple.
Fascist State Capitalism != communism. Sorry.
America is becoming a Fascist state.
USA = Fascist Corporatism / Banker Slave state.
Stop screaming "communism" like you know what it is.

Eric Holder and TPTB are just plain stupid. The Citizens are not turning on each other but on a tyrannical government. If he is worried so much about the Citizens, then one way for them to resolve all this is for all of them to step down and resign. That would take care of the biggest part of the damn problem IMO....

If the nwo gets their one world government, in fact, then the jews will be in power, because they love power.
They really ought to know better.

Ohh please, communism has nothing to do with this and has never been a 'threat' to anyone. Go read the manifesto for christ sake. Anyway, i think this has been building up but is still only a minority of people, i think most are still quite apathetic to the situation...but even a small percentage of angry people seem to be unsettling the government.
