i've been noticing a disturbing
i've been noticing a disturbing trend in the words coming out of our government's mouths. they are all saying that we've become too used to having so many freedoms, and that in order to increase security, we are going to have to give up some of those freedoms. what are we fighting for then? if we lose freedom because of a terrorist attack, aren't the terrorists winning? i have no problem with increased security, and the inconveniences that come with it, but it seems like we are headed for increased monitoring, wiretapping, and ease of searching. it would be a travesty if anyone used this incident to counteract the bill of rights. in times like these, we need to stand up for america, and the foundation it is built on, not tear down the pillars of our country. is it less secure to have all the freedoms that we, as americans, enjoy? certainly. is it worth the loss of our freedoms to keep this from happening? absolutely not. you can never get secure enough to prevent a well thought out, organized attack like this. so we need, at this time, to stand up for our rights, and insist that the constitution not be bastardized by well meaning, but misguided, people.
example #1 of the great american i d ten t
Jerry Falwell (speaking about the wtc attacks): "And, I know that I'll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say, 'You helped this happen.'
