I don't agree with Squire's attack on Israel, but as a Conservative, I am "angry" and "pissed off" that FReepers are so willing to attack our Constitutional protections and weaken us against external and internal enemies who might be hoping to turn our American way upside-down.

I don't think that running from the moral high ground down into the mud with our adversaries is the way to go--I'd rather gun them down from our position of strength. One of our strengths of the American system (and of conservatives in general) is that we are an open and free society (using rational, not emotional appeal) that treats citizens equally, not one where internal security apparatus has free reign to operate without demonstrable probable cause.

And as you said, "scared" and "frightened" are liberal responses. It's a shame that Americans would rather act that way--and attack our own freedom--than to fight the true enemies of us all.

Again, I call upon the anti-rights crowd to clearly describe what they actually propose, and how it is supposed to make us safer. What good does detaining and fingerprinting American citizens at the border do, other than help Hillary have more complete FBI files to use (she is a senator, remember) and harass Americans?

I'm not sure what you're referring to, so if you could please list our "true enemies" and the freedoms we are losing.

Thanks in advance.
