Many of you here on FR can't or won't face the fact that this country is in a struggle for its very existence. Many of you would prefer that we cease to exist, than to forfeit one little freedom.

Rubbish. Most of us are concerned about the aftermath of this Viename War on Terrorism. We are concerned about how powerful the police will be once its over. It takes 5 days to restrict your rights in the name of a "higher cause" but it takes at least 5 years, if ever, to get them back. If our country destroys the legal value of the Bill of Rights in the process of fighting the VWoT then fighting it was pointless because we've lost in the end. Reread the 2nd amendment, a free and armed people are the best defense force for a republican government. The passengers on board the aircraft-missiles of 9-11 did more to protect our country than their government.

Back to the point of the article, how does the FBI looking at library records violate the Bill of Rights? The Fourth Ammendment says you have a right to be secure in your person and property. Library records are not your property. Most public records are open to the public. If they aren't, that is by statute, not the Constitution.

How would you have felt about our government if it shot down the plane, if the problem had not been taken care of by the few heros aboard? Would you have called the USAF heros? Or, as I suspect, you would be screaching your lungs out about an out of control Military?

BTW your scrawny little pop shooters of your armed citizens, are no match for the modern day warfare. You will have no chance against missiles, nuclear bombs, tanks etc.

When our forefathers wrote the constitution, a well armed militia meant that they were armed with compatible weapons. Your F**king little hunting rifles and pistols will be useless against a modern day armed force.

You've used the phrase "Vietnam war on terrorism" several times now.

Is this because:

We are not fighting it to win it?

We shouldn't even be fighting?

We "can't" win it?
