What exactly are you doing? Supporting someone isn't doing anything. Its just supporting. I could venture to argue that being a watchdog (as I can claim that point out this comment is) is more of doing something that nodding your head everytime anyone with an R beside thier name speaks.
I support our President on the war on terror. I like the job that Rumsfeld has done, and that goes for Rice and Cheney as well. Ashcroft, Thompson and a few other pokes I don't support. I really hope that Ashcroft is speaking on his own behalf with this statement and this is not the position of the President. I hope for all of us, because like you, I will fight anyone who threatens my freedom.
Foreign or domestic. With an "R" or without.

I'd be interested in knowing why you pinged us to this thread, then, since you just have stated you AGREE with Ashcroft.

Not at all. We are by far a minority. The vast brainwashed majority accepts it all, hook line and sinker. Witness the statements made herein by Howlin and Miss Marple. (Two people with whom I do not waste my time).

Anybody who ignores the Constitution is a terrorist in my book, DC is full of them on both sides of the aisle.
The first thing a totalitarian state does is destroy dissent. There is nothing unpatriotic about defending your Constitutional rights.

Ashcroft IS fighting for your freedom. I thought that's what you said you wanted, too. Or are you just being contrary.

Not a dime's worth of difference between the ACLU and Libertarians on FR.
I wouldn't be surprised that they are on Johhny Jihad's side.

"To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists,"
I'm of the opinion that the "phantoms" are real, but not as bad as some make it out to be, and the claims of Americans loosing liberties is indeed comforting to the terrorists.

(Two people with whom I do not waste my time). No kidding. I believe this thread contradicts that very statement, since you were the first to mention our names.
So much for truth in YOUR posts.

Why are you bothering talking to this wall. On one hand he/she claims that he/she will "fight" anyone who threaten's her freedom. Here we have a literal quotation from the US Attorney General seeking to squelch dissent and equating dissenters with terrorist. Never mind whether you agree with the dissenters or not. The point is irrelevant. The First Amendment guarantees "Freedom" of Speech. And yet this person cannot understand that the chilling effect of Ashcroft saying what he did "threatens" this very same freedom. Its a robot, like the Terminator. You can't reason with a machine.

Gee, and since you want your President to work, I guess you supported Clinton, because he always speaks of how hard he works.
Your logical leap here makes my head spin.

How can it (a shrinking Federal government) come to a close when it never existed ?!!!From yesterday's Wall Street Journal:
The good revenue news is that tax cuts are trimming federal receipts as a share of the economy, just as Mr. Bush promised during the 2000 campaign. In Bill Clinton's final year, the feds grabbed a post-World War II record 20.8% of GDP; in 2001, after tax cuts and amid recession, that share had fallen to 19.8%, and in 2002 it will fall to 18.8% before starting to climb slowly again as the economy grows and more Americans are driven into higher tax brackets. This means more of the economy remains in productive private hands.

This when we are in a recession and Bush is proposing the most massive military build-up in a generation.His original budget was on track to reduce the Fed take of GNP to around 15%.

Move to the head of the class. But not this "class." This seems to be the after school class.
