The Emerging Surveillance State - by Ron Paul

A pertinent excerpt that adds to my theory of Republican totalitarian Bushevism:

When we think of the evil of totalitarianism, such networks of state spies are usually what comes to mind. Yet, with modern technology, what once took tens of thousands of informants can now be achieved by a few companies being coerced by the government to allow it to listen in to our communications. This surveillance is un-American. ..."
