The below response was made to a bunch of Bush Bots because they think that GW's proposals are of no danger to those of us who love freedom. The Globe Article was critical of The Bush proposal for the VIP program.

You Bush Bots are letting your prejudices against the Boston Globe get in the way of Commnon Sense.

The Author of this article is 100% correct. To those of you who are not old enough to have been around during WWII I suggest that you do some extensive reading of History. I lived in that period and remember the horror stories of those who were subjected to this type of Terrorism by their own government. You youngsters had better do some re=thinking of your attitudes before you lose what little liberty is left in this country.

Blind loyalty to anything that Bush proposes is no different from the blind loyalty that the Klintonistas practiced for eight years. I voted for Bush, thinking him the lesser of two evils. Since he has taken office he has broken almost every campaign promise that he made, and since 9/11 has given him an excuse to impose draconian thefts of our liberties, he has gone hog wild in proposing these measures in the name of "Security" and/or "Preventing Terrorism". Witness the "Security" at our airports today and tell me if they give you a "warm fuzzy feeling" If you have a "warm fuzzy feeling", it's probably because you've pissed in your pants out of fear of "terrorism".

Remember Benjamin Franklin's admonition, " Those who give up liberty in the hope of security, will have neither liberty nor security". I have watched for more than 50 years as you fools have willingly given up our liberties hoping for more "Security", and today we have less liberty and even less "Security".

50 years ago this was a nation of free men, willing to fight for our own safety. Now I see a nation of "piss in their pants cowards" who are willing to let a Big Brother Governmnent take away their freedom in exchange for an empty promise of more safety. WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

That's my opinion.

Flame Away!

"That's my opinion. Flame Away!"

Why would I flame away?? I agree with the above (and you) on this subject.
