"I want my grandchildren to live and not be killed by terrorists."

So do I, except I don't feel very confident in the future they're living for. This isn't the country my ancestors fought and died for. I mean in no way to minimize the courage or honor of those who fight now. Temporary restraints are one thing. This is looking more and more like a permanent condition We are watching the lifeblood og our liberty run down the jaws of a ravenous beast with an insatiable lust for power. America without freedom, well, isn't America at all, just a country that calls itself the United States.

Hmmmm.....

I'm missing something here. You make it sound like we should let these folks just take over our planes just for some kind of mythical freedoms we've lost because we get searched?

splain please.......

I know. I will never forget my grandfather having a hissy fit when he learned that he had to get a drivers license in Louisiana. He was correct in his statement that he paid for the damn roads and now they wanted to tax him again. But, it came to pass.

Now we are fighting to disallow illegal immigrants from obtaining them. It has ever been this way. We lose our freedoms in our Republic as our world becomes smaller.

But, national security is not something I want to be wary of, really.
