I will not surrender my freedom in the name of security, because without the former, the latter does not exist, but I will say this: consider the source.

Civil liberties and immigrant rights advocates say ...

What does that mean? These so-called advocates could represent the most extreme of Marxist or other nutball groups. They even could represent pro-Islamic terror groups. Until I'm satisfied this comes from a legitimate source, I'll take these dire warnings with a grain of salt.

Uh, just as the ACLU is trying to keep Limbaugh's medical records out of court, sometimes two opposing sides can be working against the same thing, for different reasons.

You'll notice that a number of Freepers are opposed to this legislation. Not for the reasons the liberals are, of course, but for other reasons. Read the thread. See if they don't have a point.

Don't simply be for something just because some liberal organization is against it. Pay attention and you may be against it too, but for other reasons. If you own firearms, you should definitely be concerned with this legislation. If you belong to any organizations that have a very narrow point of view of anything, you should be alarmed.
