Guilty until proven innocent" belongs in courtrooms

You need to brush up on your "Patriot Act' my friend. I am all for defending this country and I voted for Bush twice but this paranoia in the name safety is not healthy. All the pieces are in place for a future administration to start naming certain groups as "enemies of the state"

Thank God (Allah?) we have brave souls like you to defend morons like me from real threats.

Amen. Many of the "tools" that we have created to combat terror, were dreamed up under liberal administrations or by liberal politicians, whether it was the PATRIOT Act or the National ID, I mean Real ID.

The American people are really being conditioned to accept anything and everything the government does, simply because we are "at war" (a "war" which happens to have no end-game, and which will never end).

Every now and then there is a power grab, whether it be TIA or going after the search engine data earlier this year (which many state and local jurisdictions would love to have access to).
