Well I'm one of them. :-) I've been pretty vocal about my belief that we need all of the things I just outlined. HOW ELSE CAN you stop terrorists within our borders. I don't think any prophecy person ever considered that terrorism would be the catalyst. It has always been the invasion of Israel.
It just makes sense now. How can you defend against a shadowy enemy -- one that could have 100's or thousands of soldiers living and working in our own border without a MUCH larger military presence, security measure, and intelligence gathering arm?
Like they've been saying -- the limits have been withdrawn..
Well I'm one of them. :-)
You'd have to decode that for me.
You're one who thinks a battle of Armeggedon is coming?
The 'I'm one of them' part is throwing me also...

Look if Bush get us through this, without allowing a permanent loss in freedom - I'll even vote for him next time... because he will have proven he could be trusted with power. And I'd add to that, I think he's handling himself very well.. It's Congress that is currently scaring the piss out of me..
But don't hold your breath. Even FR has become a bastion of conformity. Once - this place was about liberty, protections of Constitutional rights, a return the values of our Founders. Now it's more and more... monthly... becoming an arm of the GOP...
I'm totally for pounding these terrorist muslim idiots into the sand. But there's not ANY excuse for attacking the Constitution.
I'm looking at the magic eight ball... and asking the question...
"Your future is fascism." is the reply.
Well. I hear Canada is nice....
You have got to be kidding! No matter what safe guards that are put into place you will never (NEVER) completely stop terrorism. Terrorism is just another form of crime. AND as we all know, whatever law is passed and enforced crimes are still committed. (i.e. a very simple example is fuzz busters. Some one invented a device that can detect a police radar to prevent speeding tickets. So the cops came up with a radar that fools the original fuzz buster ....so another person invented the FUZZ BUSTER II that beats the new and improved cop radar..and so on and so on.)
What the first step will be is the implemtenation of more cameras. ID cameras like the ones used in Europe. In malls, Airports etc. They will get pictures of everyone and immediately check their faces against a database of known criminals. "Not so bad" most people will say? (Right Naspino?)
Well, soon that will evolve into ID and checks against the database for people whose expressions are similar to that of people known to get violent. (patterns, profiling etc)
