You think that because of all this, that they are not attacking us here? Do you think that the terrorists are THAT dumb to just post stuff on the internet? What if all that was BS, and that it was ment to distract the attention away from, I dunno, destroying another part of the country.
These terrorists arent stupid, and just cause we arrested a few, doesnt mean that the others will just give up.
Im not willing to give up my rights as an American Citizen because of a crazy bunch of Muslims that want blood. They will kill and keep killing, no matter how many Ammendments and rights the goverment strips from us.

hmmm...Al, your quote above does what a lot of liberals do lately- take things immediately to EXTREMES. Who said anything about ****ing up the rights we have in the constitution? In order to protect our country, we NEED a law like the PATRIOT act that gives our country a right to listen in and watch over people who are doing this suspicious or are suspected or could be suspected.
Granted, a major right that is implied in "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" is privacy. However, what many liberals are fighting for is the right that NO ONE be screened. How about some of these people from other countries who ARE doing things wrong and are NOT our citizens? Should we give them that same implied right when they could bomb the heck out of our country. This is where Democrats and Republicans disagree.
Seems to me like most liberals would rather have us sit on our butts, do nothing, pull out of Iraq and let them all kill themselves (a whole other issue yes, but if we pull out now, mass hysteria would ensue in that country), and just wait for our country to get bombed or attacked again. Please. At least we have a government that is doing SOMETHING to protect us.
