We either give up a few of our civil liberties during a period of war or we will end up with none.It amazes me that these dissenters don't comprehend this simple fact.

Here's a guy clamoring for Sulla.

Any crackdown upon traitors should begin with the trial and execution of those who have committed overt acts of treason:

Let's see. Big list. Rockefeller, Most Democratic Politicians, Most of the media, etc.

"In the Second World War all Japanese-Americans were interned along with those Germans and Italians believed to be sympathetic to the cause of their parent nations. I do not bring up these examples to warn against the loss of civil liberties today, but rather to point out that we have lost too few."

Try something like it again these days and I promise to personally bring your life to a very rapid and very violent end.

It doesn’t even matter so much if the laws aren't quite Constitutional - both the World War One Sedition Act and Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus were eventually ruled so - with sufficient will it can be arranged so that no final decision will be made until after the war.

Truly breathtaking statist cynicism. And what of a "War on Terror" that, like the War on (Some) Drugs, need never -- and, for that matter, can never -- be considered by its proponents to have an "after"? To ever end?

[KC_Conspirator]

Can someone point out some examples of people being thrown in jail for no good reason? Coulter is right. We need another Rosenberg trail to show that treason and sedition will not be tolerated.

IP tracing and other tools could be used to uncover the identity of anti-war individuals who could then be made subject to harassment: either official or unofficial.

Come and get me, Yoshida. If you have the balls to put your guns against mine. ... Oh, you want others to do your dirty work? Pretty gutless, I'd say.

Welcome to Free Republic. I suppose if DU types can invade here, so also can the ultra-statist Right. Neither side respects the Constitution, as you do not.

The idea that a government ought to permit an active anti-war movement during a war for national survival is new, dating mostly from the Vietnam era, when traitors successfully cloaked their machinations in the rhetoric of freedom as a means of subversion.

Athens permitted it. Ever read Aristophanes? Ever read Euripides?

[BlessedBeGod]

Dang! I missed a ZOT! AGAIN!

I give up.

[MattAMiller]

Do we even have to get into why this is so awfully and horribly wrong? I hope not.

[Libloather]

...to point out that we have lost too few.

The Liberteens are going to have a cow...
