WorldNetDaily: America is a police state

About 10 days ago, some obscure British diplomat opined that America was becoming a police state. This utterance brought on the usual expressions of outrage from Americans who have grown somewhat weary of the anti-American sentiments of foreign leftists.

Now that the rhetoric has died down a bit, can we take a second look at what this anti-American firebrand had to say? While it’s almost certainly true that this British politician’s statement had malicious, rather than benevolent, overtones, perhaps we should consider whether there might be some truth in his words. Let’s take that “police state” charge and run with it for a few hundred words.

I believe that WorldNetDaily is a libertarian/conservative website.
