And even that is preposterous

This nation is so far away from what Nazi Germany was it is laughable. If you want to complain that you feel some constitutional rights are being compromised in the war on terror then by all means you would have a point. To compare a wide open democratic society like today's America to a closed brutal dictatorship is, for lack of a better word, just plain ignorant. If anything we are far more democratic as a society now than we were in past wartime periods, especially WWII.
