The fact is that he's right. Reminds me of something Patrick Henry said once... what was that?

Cyber Liberty, may your chains hang lightly around your neck. Why are you so willing to sacrafice liberty for a false security? The Constitution is not a "here today, gone tomorrow", "it's OK as long as it's our guys trashing it" kind of document. I would wager a guess that 85% of problems in America today are a direct result of not following the Constitution, or making some kind of exception to the explicit boundaries written in it regarding functions of government.

I would post the quotes from Ben Franklin, Patrick Henry, Jefferson, Madison, Washington, etc, but I know my keystrokes would be wasted.

It's fine if you need some bloated, inefficient fedgov watching over your every move to make you feel safe, but don't monkey around with the liberties that the rest of us enjoy.

I agree with many of your sentiments bc, but for the record, Cyber Liberty did not make the comments I originally criticized.

Guess who doesn't want to have to watch over fellow Americans or to fight in foreign lands, who has respect for his neighbors and would prefer to be home with the family, minding his own business - and guess who wants to tell you how to run your business, raise your family and care for oversee most of us little people (regular people to John Edwards)?

Hillary and Bill, Kofi and Jacque, Noam, Babs, Gorby and Fidel thank you for focusing on the "neocons" - helping the left once more to label, divide and weaken their opponents. The left will vote as one - for power's sake, even if it means intentionally working against our national security interests by aligning themselves with nations and powerful NGOs that oppose US supremacy.

"When I hear a speech like Blair’s, I have to check the calendar. And the calendar is usually wrong. It may say 2/23, or 7/16, or 4/30. But I know what the date is, and the date is 9/12. It’s going to be 9/12 for a long time to come." ~ James Lileks, Fri., July 18,  2003.  http://www.lileks.com/bleats/
