The coming police state?

To see the kind of police state we can be looking forward to under an Obama administration, follow the link here to a Columbus Dispatch story, about Ohio state agencies being used to investigate Joe the Plumber shortly after the final Obama-McCain debate (state agencies, by the way, that had no legal reason to investigate Joe). And please note the silence from all those "civil libertarians" (such as the ACLU) who whined about the Patriot Act's "opression" of citizen's rights.
