Yes, I really do agree with it, and oppose those devastating restrictions on the basic premises of liberty enacted in the Patriot Act- and now the NDAA - as well as SOPA.
I see a population that allows itself to be lulled into war after war without ceasing- terrified into submission and relinquishing every fine thing that makes America unique and the envy of all nations-
we are spoonfed mindless sabre rattling and have finally created the perfect mechanism of perpetual motion to keep the military industrial complex in business forever.
A stateless enemy who is a concept- which can never be vanquished- because it does not - in fact- really exist.
And people are so pee their pants afraid- they will willingly petition our lawmakers to do anything, imprison anyone- just keep the fear at bay.
Do you agree with this statement said by Benjamin Franklin "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary security, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

In other words those who give up liberty in the name of security, deserve neither.

Where we are at now with the patriot act and NDAA etc is seriously reducing our liberties. It is taking us into a police state. I do not agree with that.
I would like to hear what Ben would have to say knowing where we are at now. I would LOVE to being our founding fathers to the present. It would be great to hear their take and hear what they meant when they formed the nation. Too many people, politicians and lawyers have twisted things. I'd love to straighten it all out.
The patriotic conservatives vs the communist liberals!
And while there are plenty of threats out there, we dont need to forfeit our rights to protect our lives.
and in the current crop of neoconprog candidates-
stop falling for the scam folks-
or the elite progressives will eat us all-
if you can perceive my comment-
without blinders on-
i was agreeing with you-
and adding to-
since you only got half of it out-
what part of progressive do you not get-???
the neoconprog part i'm betting-
more dangerous than libprogs -
which we expect this from-
neoconprogs are phony conservatives-
insidious liars-
or deceived fools-
but i will not serve the two headed snake of the 2party scam-
for decades too many have-
and the repubs are false-
not conservative at all-
and only take us to the same place-
and the abbreviations are pretty clear-
both partys are corrupt with progressives-
thank you for apology-
i am passionate and fiery-
