>I am more than willing to give up some of my liberties to protect my fellow Americans.<
Sounds very noble, but think about this: Why are little old ladies detained and searched extensively at airports when anyone looking remotely MiddleEastern is passed through (We cannot have racial profiling!) Why have our borders been wide open since 9/11/01 to illegal invaders, (including known criminals, terrorists and other spies) who are given free health care, rent subsidies, and food stamps, when people wanting to immigrate here legally are put through all kinds of rules and regs in order to get in? Why has Dubai been allowed to run our ports, and the companies that make parts for our weaponry? Why has the sovereignty of our country been undermined completely by the signed, sealed and delivered North American Union with Mexico and Canada since the last Federal election?
Did Congress and the Senate pass this? Why is the President allowed to Federalize the National Guard? Did he draw this by the Congress and the Senate? And, what other liberties are you willing to give up which may never again be restored to your fellow Americans?
I'm just curious.
