I wasn't discussing what the main point of this thread is. I was responding to the statement you made 'I have 0 evidence of anyone jailed or killed for their political beliefs in this country. Do you have any?' Withdraw if you like. I'm normally not one to get into political/ideological debates, but a statement like this deserves to be challenged. Yes, my examples are foreigners in a time of war. But, you said 'anyone', not US Citizens. But even if you ignore this (which I wouldn't really - a society should be judged by how it treats humans regardless of which country they happen to be a part of), you are still misguided. How about Martin Luther King being jailed for anti-segregation protests? Does that count to your re-framed question? I don't know if this could happen today (although the stage seems to be set with the wonderfully named Patriot Act which among other things has a section 215 which allows the FBI to search your library records), but the fact that it happened only a few decades ago should make you think twice before uttering blanket statements.
