Call me old fashioned but I'd rather make law enforcement follow probable cause or at the very least reasonable suspicion rather than profiling. :2wave:

What's this nonsense? Wanting probable cause. Next you'll be saying the authority needs warrants to spy on its citizens! Why could you imagine the repercussions! We'd be doomed, doomed I say...doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed!

I can't believe that you guys are so willing to uphold the Constitution when we are facing potential threats from terrorists.
The mere fact that we could possibly be threatened should be enough for us to give the terrorists our constitution and live the way that they want us to.

Exactly right. He's ready to give up our rights and and make the government even bigger. What a phoney.

So people who respect and uphold the fundamental rights of man are terrorist sympathizers then? You people are the *real* enemies and traitors to the Republic.

Actually...Navy. You are advocating giving the terrorists exactly what they want. They don't have a bigger friend than you. They thank you for advancing their agenda.

That is the common rhetoric for big government, big brother, big war supporters. Fascism just isn't a good road to go down. But some are happily skipping down that road, trying to drag the rest of us with them. Good thing I have lots of guns.

I do not support "big brother" nor "big war" - you would be wrong in that case.

That statement wasn't made in contention to you, but in agreement. Sorry.

To be clear, what I had meant was the common rhetoric down the path of fascism is that given by those whom would try to associate Americans as terrorist sympathizers for demanding proper and constrained government. I agree with your statement which I had originally quoted. Sorry about the confusion.

No...the only thing that will get your attention is when we are living in a police state and you wake up and say....what happened to our Freedoms and American way of life......OMG....why did I so willingly give it away.

Doing so at the cost of my freedom and liberty makes you guilty of treason.

First off, not just us "lefties" are disagreeing with you, some of the most right leaning members on this board disagree with you, because your idea is neither liberal or conservative, it is neoconservative, which is a bastardized combination of both.
