- the road and highway system (yes, every person is assigned a stretch of road to care for)
- the FCC, FAA, FDA and and other "socialist" programs (sure, let's get rid of regulations regarding airplanes and flying!)
- public libraries (because everyone has professional journal and historic works at home
- Police (if we all had guns, we wouldn't need the police!!), fire departments (I got nothing on this one. Just let everything burn down)
- and much, much more!

I take it you're being overly dramatic but if not what groups are you talking about?

-I've heard recently that the Government used census data to round up Japanese-Americans into the FEMA camps during WWII, anybody know if thats true or just an anti census rumor?

No, I'm not. Google some of the terms and you will find a bunch of references from people and grass-roots organizations who honestly believe that these programs are socialist.

From what I have found, many of the people are ultra-conservative and frequently fundamentalist in their religion. For example, there is a movement to home school to protect children from "government-mandated curriculum".

Some examples of home-grown efforts:

• 1 Million Strong against our SOCIALIST Fire Departments

oh lawd...and what does Southern Heritage mean to them? It just means a good football game, some gumbo and hospitality to me. I don't think anyone has to go to court to protect that!
