Conveniently, you didn't address any of my points about WWII. Of course, real-world examples and facts might get in the way of your whining.
Your countrymen are dead, killed by a senseless act by faceless cowards. We are at war, the country is being called to sacrifice by our Commander-in-Chief.
You guys are complaining about lines at airports and extra surveillance. Wake up and smell the coffee, you're act is tired.
The Liberteens are extremists. Get used to it...
What are the terms of this "war"? How will we know when it is over? How is victory defined?

It is not I who am whining for safety and protection no matter what the cost to the principles upon which our nation was founded. Read the article again.

Several things - no, those things are no longer in place but they have been supplanted by less obvious "incremental" incursions on personal liberties. Furthermore, nothing in the article or any speeches I have heard indicate that the legislation being passed right now is of a "temporary" nature. Still, let's assume that it is all "temporary" - have you heard any specification of the duration? Have the terms and conditions of our new "war" been defined? Everything I have seen and heard suggests "open-ended, indefinite, and unlimited." I would be much encouraged by some documentable information to the contrary (aside from your "feelings," that is).
