I did not say I was trading Security for Liberty. I said that the threat has not diminished. You had basically said their didn’t seem to be a problem with threats and I responded. No where in my response did I discuss what you are referring to. Talk about jumping to conclusions.
AQ has been threatening something major since 9/11, but we’ve gotten nothing.
The threats to the US are exaggerated. We have millions of Muslims to draw from and the terrorists can barely muddle through and the vast majority of their attacks occur in Muslim strongholds against other Muslims.
So what do you believe? You’ve stated that the threat is not diminished does it follow that you think we need the Patriot Act perpetually? The TSA should be expanded? At what point will the threat be diminished?
The threat to a free society is limitless. If you were not advocating trading security for liberty what are you advancing - status quo, more security/power in the hands of government or what?
