It's still a free country. Isn't it? I believe the President is doing this for what he believes are the right reasons, but I've reached my limit on how much freedom I'm willing to give up to feel "secure".

Will the next Democrat elected to the Presidency have such pure motives?

We simply need to determine if the death of a thousand or so citizens every X years is an acceptable price to pay.

The Israeli's have determined that the incineration of a few of it's civilians every month is an acceptable price to pay to "co-exist" with the monkeys in "faux-palestine".

I see us doing the same.

You rights are not, and have never been, threatened. That is utter nonsense. IF you are not talking to Al Qeda cells overseas, they could care less what you are doing on the Net. You aren't giving up a thing. I know it makes the whiners feel all brave and important to make these pompous statements about "Not giving up our rights" but it is just childish nonsense. They demonstrate a complete ignorance of reality.

The Govt could CARE LESS about what you are doing as LONG as your are not actively conspiring with know Terrorists. Then they ARE going to keep an eye on you since by conspiring with our foes you have voluntarily surrendered your Constitutional Rights and declared yourself an enemy of US Civil Society.

WE the people have a right, via the agency of our Government, to be protected from those who would do us harm. Those who act as enemies of our society do NOT get to hide behind the Constitution they are trying to destroy. Conspire with Al Qeda and you are no longer a member of, but an enemy of, our Civil Society and must bear the consequence of your actions.
