Again, I ask you to go back and read.
Quote me where I asked government to get involved. Go ahead. Find it.
When you have become sufficiently embarrassed by your precipitous comments intended to make you feel omniscient, you may return to get some rational discussion.
From what I've seen of you though, that's not likely. If, however, you can admit your problem in this case, I'm happy to discuss.
Look, you said in post #2, "Dammit. Protect my family... PROFILE!!"
Who do you think does that? FR posters? Not likely. It's the government.
One thing leads to another. They issue an alert. You respond to the propaganda, by crying out for more profiling. Next time they issue one of their ambigious alerts, you'll cry out for something else that violates the Constitution. On and on it goes and before long, you'll have given away the farm. They do it bit-by-bit, because they don't want anyone to notice. Nevertheless, some do.
You know, a lot of people disagree with me. They are the ones who believe that sometimes, to be safe, we are supposed to suspend the Constitution, and trust the government to do the right thing and take care of us. Your remark sounded like that. I don't buy that philosophy. To the contrary, I believe that the Constitution provides the government with all the power it requires, even in the context of an emergency, to do it's constitutional duty. There's even a past Supreme Court justice who agrees with me on that. Like taxes, give the government power that was once yours, you'll never get it back. Give them your Bill of Rights, and you're no longer a free person, living in a free society. You're a slave.
So my position has been made clear and there's no sense in arguing about it, because from here, I will not falter. As I have said in the past, many, many times. I am a strict constitutionalist. Anyone or anything that breeches that philosophy, or approaches it with the intent of altering it, is dangerous to the future of the Republic.
The only "problem", as you say, I have is that I look deeper than most. I do not accept things at face-value. If you desire to be right, so be it. Consider yourself right. It's no skin off my nose. At least, you know that your position is not universally accepted.
