MORE proof USA is a police state

The USA is making a "thought" crime bill.

If it makes into "law", then "thoughts" are now a crime.

Not actions, not physical violence, not guns, not bombs, etc.

"Thoughts", especially "bad" thoughts, are a crime.

If you think that just because your not in the states, it won't effect you.

Right. IF this bill works in the states, "other" countries will join in.

Why not? Since no one is standing up and saying "hand off" my brain, my thoughts,

all the gov't will do is take over "every" aspect of your life, even your

thoughts.

The USA is getting closer and closer to a police state.

The Nazi's would be proud.

I'm not sure but I think that this paragraph insures the constitutional rights of the people of the USA.

SEC. 899E. PROTECTING CIVIL RIGHTS AND CIVIL LIBERTIES WHILE PREVENTING IDEOLOGICALLY BASED VIOLENCE AND HOMEGROWN TERRORISM.
`(a) In General- In carrying out this subtitle, the Secretary shall ensure that the efforts of the Department to prevent ideologically based violence and homegrown terrorism as described in this subtitle do not violate the constitutional rights, civil rights, and civil liberties of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents.
`(b) Commitment to Racial Neutrality- The Secretary shall ensure that the activities and operations of the entities created by this subtitle are in compliance with the commitment of the Department to racial neutrality.
`(c) Auditing Mechanism- The Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Officer of the Department shall develop and implement an auditing mechanism to ensure that compliance with this subtitle does not result in a disproportionate impact, without a rational basis, on any particular race, ethnicity, or religion and include the results of its audit in its annual report to Congress required under section 705.'.

I took this directly from the Bill itself ( I added the underlining myself ) . Having said that, I am aware that perhaps the constitution is being ignored in certain instances in the USA, it wouldn't be the first time!
I still don't see what is in this bill that is any more alarming than what has been passed since 9/11. I don't see the thought police angle.

Sincerely
