Or we could act like you, after seeing a wolf eat your brother and sisters you want to pet the wolf when it is at our door and give it a Scooby Snack so we can understand it, and get upset when someone says to you hey shut the door well I go to the upstairs window and shoot it.

First, this "wartime" call is BS, we have been fighting terrorists for decades, like the "war on drugs" the "war on terror" will be never ending. So I am not giving unlimited powers to an enemy that is so ambigous that we can never say when they are defeated.
|
I agree, saying where going to fight a "war on terror" is like saying where going to fight a "war on ballistics". I'd love to call this war what it was a War against Islamic Fascism. But we could never be so anti-PC because we dont want to "offend" other Muslims.

Second, The odds of dying in a terrorist attack are way lower than so many other odds. So why not have all civil rights revoked to fight drunk drivers. Civil rights are not negotiable.
|
And what civil right have you lost? Your on a message board in the United States of America talking about how much you hate George Bush and the Republican's the people who currently run the country. Yeah your right have totally been destroyed by that evil nazi George "W" Bush.

Third, Speaking of chicken little. We had 8 years between the only two terrorist attacks ever in this country. Yet it is justification for destroying the freedom that makes America great. WHO is overreacting?
|
So let me get this straight, you believe the citizens of the United States have been attacked only twice in 8 years?

Fourth, I am willing to die for American freedom. This mean I am willing to take a minutely higher risk of being killed, than I am in destroying those freedoms.

[color=red] As am I. In fact I even support a draft if it is needed and if I was drafted I would serve like my family before me. Why don't I join ATM? My Fiancee said she would never marry me if I joined the service and I love her so I had to make a choice.[/red]

Giving unchecked powers to government is a slippery slope that I am not willing to dance just over the edge of.
|
Neither am I. in fact I want alot of power returned to the states that would make you mad as hell. But I'm also not a moron who is going to yell and scream everytime we attempt to counter Islamic fascist actions. |
