In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday the country’s interpretation of the Constitution will “have to change” to allow for greater security to stave off future attacks.

“The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex world where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.”

Sadly the populace needs to be reminded who are the real threats to Freedom.
And that is an unrestricted all powerful government at any level.
It reminds me of the story someone once post about how a traveler to a rural community seduce and captured a hoard of wild pigs that the locals thought was all but impossible.

I grew up and lived in New york city until I moved out last year. Best thing I ever did. It’s a city run 1000% under Despotism now. Liberals keep saying “Oh we don’t need a 2nd amendment. It’s not 1776 anymore. Tyranny could never happen here.” Oh no? Visit NYC.

I agree!! Freedom of the Press will NOW mean that only those who use a actual “printing press” to disseminate the news will be given “freedom” of the press. No more free press for TV media, i.e., ABC, NBC,CBS. MSNBC, CNN, nor the for the radio news media.

I wonder how Loonyburg likes my idea? I think, based on today’s socialist and communist lame-stream media, it is an excellent interpretation of “freedom of the press” Lets take the term “press” literally!! What say you, Loonburg?

Funny, wonder how he would feel about a modern interpretation of property and billionaires. They amass too much money and infuence goverment too heavily. I understand his legitimate worry,, but we live in a complex world. He might need to accept being stripped of everything he owns over 200k or so. That’d be ok Bloomie? Right? /

"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government."

When the governed rise up and abolish what Bloomie and his friends have self-admittedly done to the Constitution, he should not be surprised that what he's done was thereby declared treasonous.

No Bloomie, I won’t. Nothing is more effective than the time-honored tradition of self-defense.

If the government could protect the public they would have done so by now. They clearly cannot.

Sorry, no sale.

Nothing preventing Bloomberg from packing his bags and moving to a place more to his liking, say, Beijing.

No one asked him or his family to come here in the first place. Invited themselves in 140 years after the Constitution he doesn't like was born of other's sacrifice.

Bloomberg is a textbook example of "short man syndrome."

How loathsome.

FReepers often don't understand it when I say I would rather live in Detroit than Chicago or NY but your statement is the perfect example of why. NY is nanny despotism and Detroit is apathy, greed, and corruption. Most of us would be arrested if we were "caught" with a gun in NY and Detroit is an open carry city.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

So, what does that mean? Start following it?

[YHAOS]

If you want a change in the Constitution, Bloomberg, there is a way to do that.

[GamecockD]

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just follow up when Russia tells us someone is a terrorist?

He's absolutely right! The fascist anti-gun-rights have been getting away with murder for decades. Who can afford to humor gun-grabbers when there's lunatics like the Tsarnaevs running around?

[Still Thinking]

"We're going to suspend your rights to protest, bear arms, privacy, and trial by jury." "Why?" "To protect you from terrorists." "Why do we need to be protected from terrorists?" "They hate you for your freedom."

The terrorists are beginning to sound like the lesser of evils.

Wow! I never thought of it like that but you are entirely correct. Last time I was to NYC was many years ago.....hate to spend even a nickel there. Bloomturd can GTH.

Bloomberg needs a pill.

Detroit is kind of like the wild west for urbanites and that’s a good thing for hardy folks who seek urban independence.

Somebody should propose to Bloomberg a law that wouldn’t require a reinterpretation of the Constitution: that billionaires with more than a certain amount of assets should have a wealth tax to reduce their wealth to between 1 and 2 billion dollars. Any more assets would have a 100% tax on them.

Just to watch him have a panic attack.
