You might have missed the small detail that an open border with Canada gives any potential terrorist an open gate to walk in and do what he/she wants to. If you can find a way to make that go away, then I'll do the background research.

Whilst you're quibbling over what a shadow government might do, there are some very real people out there who want to do a lot worse to you than any shadow government would do. The Ruskies proved that groupthink doesn't work and Florida proved that the USA is a bureaucratic hellhole - so I think fascist conspiracies should be the least of your worries.

You'll either be dead or a card carrying member of the Limbaugh-right before the powers that be take their heads out of their asses and start nurturing the Fourth Reich. BTW, where were you when Clinton was using IRS audits against his opponents and started pulling FBI files? If that isn't the protocol of a police state, then I don't know what is.

While you might like the weekend warriors and Barstool Guevara's who only leave their basements or come out of retirment when the Republicans are in the big house - the rest of the civilised world are having to deal with a war against some hellbent Islamic fundies. Did you remember reading that?
