The Alabama Department of Homeland Security has finally caved in to pressure from civil liberties activists and taken down a Web site that included environmentalists, animal rights advocates, abortion opponents, libertarians, gay rights activists, anti-war organizations and even those who oppose gun control and a strong federal governmentin in a list of groups that “could” or “might” include or spawn dreaded domestic “terrorists.”

We reported this story on May 10, well before the Associated Press got around to telling people about it - after it was taken down: http://www.homelandsecurity.alabama.gov/tap/home.htm.

We’ve also been saying that this would happen for years, and posted a column on it almost two years ago on June 5, 2005 under the headline: Everyone Who Opposes Bush Is A Terrorist?.

See? You can beat City Hall - or even an Imperial President’s loyal minions in a fucked up state like Alabama where the masses mostly accept this abuse of their rights now in the name of the God of security.

Is the Roman goddess of security, Securitas, turning over in her grave?
