You haven't been paying attention to current events.
Look at legislation and rhetoric since Bush was installed.
Big Brother has arrived. Even if you are a citizen who supports Bush Inc. the new laws allow you to be declared an enemy combatant, locked up, tried, convicted, and executed with secret evidence that your lawyer can't see, because you can't have a lawyer.
Your house can be searched without your knowledge, your bookseller and librarian is forced to turn over records of books you've read and will go to jail if they tell you they've been asked about you.
Your phones and computers can be tapped without any further authorization.
