Yeah, 'Pod!! I mean, really!! We all know the latest bits of legislation will protect us and 10 years from now when this 'war' is over will never be used against anyone. They won't add up to one massive amount of legislation that further destroys what's left of the Republic. We'll still have our freedoms. I imagine we'll have a load of choices as to which weekly processing/checkin center we can go to. And here in NC, we even get to pick the backgrounds for our drivers' licenses, so I imagine the same will be said of the national ID cards. Yep as long as you fall in step to the state, you're going to be just fine....
that you bitch everyday about why Bush is a "sellout" when he's trying to eradicate Islamic terror that could revisit with another 9/11
Eradicating Islamic terror is one thing, further consolidation of the general government's power under more bureaucracy is another. Just because this nation is at 'war'(and I won't even go into the fact that the POTUS hasn't officially asked Congress for war except twice in the past 160 years) doesn't mean I'm supposed to close my eyes and be led blindly to the slaughter house habs. If you allow that you're not a conservative, you're a populist statist, no better than O'Reilly
And yes, it is a bigger threat than Islam. It is not Islamists that are putting cameras atop red lights. It is not Islamists that are insisting on evidence remaining secret. It is not Islamists that are insisting on wiretapping being done without a judge saying it is ok.
We must agree to disagree. If i suffer from a lack of perspective, then so be it. 'Pod
