Asset grab by government against private citizens.

I just cannot understand why there is not full fledged revolution in America when we see that something like this passed as a bill within our congress. I believe these people in congress, our representatives, took an oath to uphold the Constitution of these United States. I guess this has went out the window with the Constitution, do you suppose?

Look Here: I cannot believe you people stood by for this travesty to the freedoms of American citizens:

President Bush has signed two executive orders that would allow the US Treasury Department to seize the property of any person perceived to, directly or indirectly, pose a threat to US operations in the Middle East.

The first of these executive orders, titled "Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq," signed by Bush on July 17, 2007, authorizes the Secretary of Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense, to confiscate the assets of US citizens and organizations who "directly or indirectly" pose a risk to US operations in Iraq.

Maybe you just answered your own question. People are not ready to give up their hovels and diet of cornmeal to oppose the empire, most of which don't even know exists.

Could you please explain who "you people" are? And could you elaborate what you have in mind for "those" people who "stood" by were to do?
