we have to give up some individual rights for the good of the whole

Then by all means if you are stopped in a roadblock just wave your rights around and I am sure you will be given a police escort out of the area along with an abject apology for your inconvenience. Better yet quote Ayn Rand to the cops they really like that stuff.

Dream on, ostrich!
You can pretend all you want to that we are not at war, but the future will dictate that you're wrong.
We ARE at war, and this war is being fought right here as well as overseas.
You WILL give up some of those precious rights you talk about whether you like it or not!
