Your first paragraph says
The following post was censored by freerepublic.com shortly after it was posted on their "public" forum on 9/11/04. That forum is designed to appear as though it is a community forum open to all, but this post only received three responses before it and its replies were deleted, and a repeat posting at 4 am PST on 9/20/04 didn't stay online for 5 minutes!
But the "essay" says this:
Osama bin Laden killed nearly 3,000 people on that fateful day, but no matter how many buildings he might attack or people he might kill, he could never destroy our fundamental values and freedoms. Only Americans, through poor choices of leadership, can destroy American freedoms and liberties by allowing them to be chipped away through such travesties as the 'Patriot' Act and its various planned upgrades. In that light the present Bush administration seems to be well on its way toward finishing the job of destroying America that bin Laden could only dream of, and I for one do not consider that an appropriate response to terrorism.
Since the Patriot Act wasn't signed until October 26, 2001.
Simply put, you're a flat out liar and a documentd T R O L L.
Whoops.....I got my dates confused.
This is what I get for Freeping so dang early!
