Laugh if you want, Blue, but since my one air trip since 9/11, I have lost any and all desire to fly to where I need to go.
Want to see a dictatorship in action on American soil? Easy - just step into any large airport in the country, and you lose your 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendment rights - just by setting FOOT in the BUILDING.
Anymore, I'll drive. I don't have to worry about being singled out for a cavity search, I can say what I want as loudly as I want, I can smoke all I want, and I can carry weapons.
And as for roadblocks, liberty-loving people should feel sick over them because their continued existence throws the presumption of innocence and the freedom to be secure from unwarranted searches right out the Constitutional window.
"Those who will trade Liberty for Security deserve neither!"
"Laugh if you want, Blue, but since my one air trip since 9/11, I have lost any and all desire to fly to where I need to go."
Ok so you get a choice. When you drink and drive and are on the same road I am on, where is my choice when you crash into me?
"Want to see a dictatorship in action on American soil?"
Is it a dictatorship to have speed limits too?
How about any other LAW? Seems you conduse the rule of law and tyranny.
"liberty-loving people"
Explain to me about how my liberty was affected when a drunk driver crashed into me. I would love to hear what you have to say about that. Your position on this backs the position of the person that crashed into me. So by all means explain it to me please.
