When will enough be enough?

[thoughtomator]

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."

"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 ?

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.

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.

It is long past enough if you believe in a free republic.

It was enough a long time ago, but what are we supposed to do? The government and those entities concerned ignore the citizens and the Constitution. The media is complicit in destroying the interests of America. We put scumbag communists in positions of power, then act surprised when they refuse to do what's right. They are people without conscience and without loyalty to this nation. After awhile, the people stop beating their heads against the wall. This is the face of the new slavery. It is a monster that refuses to be controlled. It has taken on a life of its own and is possessed and empowered by the devil himself. Can it be stopped? Only by the grace of God and the repentance of the nation. I don't see that happening any time soon.

What I'm seeing is a lot of panic over nothing. If you read the actual decision you'd see that all this ruling did was uphold a law in Nevada that states that it is unlawful to withold your name if asked by a police officer in the process of conducting an investigation. It does NOT give police officers the right to randomly and routinely ask people their name then arrest them if they don't comply.

Nevada’s “stop and identify” statute

How long till it's "paerz pleaze" ?

In our post-9/11 world, government officials have effectively used terror and fear to subdue any public resistance to legislation like the Patriot Act, which embodies the heavy-handed empowering of government intrusion into our lives.

As always, the author fails to mention one instance of abuse under the Patriot Act. He doesn't understand it. Nor does he seem to have a better idea for how to protect us from terrorists.

"With each passing day, America is inching further down a slippery slope toward a police state. Soon, we’ll have picked up so much momentum that there will be no turning back."

That's why we have the 2nd Amendment! If enough people have the will to stop it, then the Police State will never happen.

[Xenalyte]

Police state, ho!

Quit calling me names!

The city of Seattle is going to start sharing information with Interpol, saw that today and thought it was interesting..

Anyways, those who are statists are very patient types, they know they can slip stuff through here and there, both at the local and national level (research just how much passes through Congress without really being scrutinzed, you'll be shocked). As long as Joe Blow is happy, and has his Big Mac, his Coke, and his reality TV shows, he won't care.

It's amazing how easily people will give up this or that, either because they don't care, or because Republicans are in office (regardless of the fact that the liberals could be back in office in another election cycle).
