When will enough be enough?

When privacy only applies to what homosexual activists do with our children?

Politicians love to boast about how far we’ve come since 1776. Yet sadly, we seem to have lost the love of freedom that laid the groundwork for the American Revolution.

Read Article 1, Section 9 of the Constitution regarding habeas corpus. Even the Founders realized that rights may need to be curtailed during times of invasion or rebellion - and al Qaeda is doing their best to invade us and attack us.

"When will enough be enough?"

60 Republican Senators. That's when "enough will be enough."

When was the last time Habeas Corpus was curtailed?

60 Republican Senators.

Why? After all less than 50 were enough to keep President Clinton's power grabbing relatively in check.

"the case arose after Larry D. Hiibel, a Nevada cattle rancher, was arrested and convicted on a misdemeanor after refusing to tell his name or show identification to a sheriff's deputy"

Why did he just not give his darn name. I do believe that alot of our rights are being slowly eroded but is it not largely due to the times we live in ?

The point is, the founders themselves realized that there were occasions when the country was under attack that rights might need to be curtailed. If you want to raise the specter of the Founders, you've gotta take all aspects of their work into account, and not just the stuff that supports your case.

Hasn't proven to be enough yet.

[Independentamerican]

Excellent point.

Yeah, but you brought up habeas corpus. Are you saying we are in as much danger now as we were during the Civil War?

[agitator]

[myword]

Agreed. This is out of hand. We all are comfortable with this now but just imagine Skerry the former prosecuter or a Hildebeast in the white house with things going this way. Hide your guns.

[swampfox98]

I only hope that we have the wisdom and the courage to keep it.

If Hillary Clinton wins the presidency one shudders to think of how the Patriot Act will be turned against Christians and conservatives.

Waco was just the beginning.

Please also note that they enumerated the rights to be curtailed.

And that's the only one they specified.

"Enough" for these guys will mean at least 60 Libertarian Senators.

[Libertarianize the GOP]

Our Government is to inefficient to run a police state but the problem is that as it keeps growing it will appear more and more incompetent until the people will accept or even demand its replacement.

[ksen]

Exactly, we should only allow the government as much power as we'd be willing to see worst democrat we could think of to have.

He was too busy telling the cop that his truck was not parked in the road! View the video. Skid marks and skewed parked truck, but it was off the road!
