I find it utterly amazing how quickly the Right has gone from being the last bastion of liberty and limited government to what it is now... a bunch of Big Government yes-men. Another poster warned about what would happen if/when someone like Hillary gets elected with these powers. Well, I think I can tell you. People on the right would scream bloody murder about limiting government power. It would be like Waco and Ruby Ridge everyday. You're going to see thread after thread on this forum exploding with rage about how the Left is abusing government power and trampling on the Constitution. Just remember how we on the Right handled the power while we had it. We gave away liberty like it was so much fluff, all in the name of security versus a foe that is more a method of fighting than a real enemy in the flesh. Bush has revoked many of our rights in the name of perpetual war. We on the Right are to blame.
If you cannot comprehend the difference between listening to a call from a terrorist to the US and the "trampling of the Constitution" that you're refering to, you're just stupid.
Do tell us: What rights did you have on 9/10/01 that you do not have today? You clearly feel secure coming on to a public forum and denouncing our president. What are you no longer able to do?
Be sure to finish your pitcher of kool aid.
