If I remember my polysci class correctly, a police state is a state in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic, and political life of the population.
you forgot part of the "definition"..
"A state in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic, and political life of the people, especially by means of a secret police force."
so what do you think the NSA is/does? and what Homeland Security is/does behind the scenes? I suspect there are lots of other "secret" things they do which has not been made public (or confirmed).. Just as war in other countries has changed, so has the way the US govt controls its population... there are already drones introduced to watch us.. that will grow and spread like a cancer.. into other cities, and down to local govt police forces.. I expect at some point there will be a "Drone Tax" to help pay the costs.. that's just one example, out of many which I wont bother to expand on..
as far as blame goes.. it goes to all Presidents (past, present, future) cuz they all engage in secret, behind-the-scenes "warfare" on their own population..
