Not meaning to minimize this at all. I just wanted to state from where the spit on the patriots AND on the constitution is really coming.

Funny thing we can't control a 2,000 mile long border, but claim to be able and willing to patrol all the oceans out to 200 miles from shore. We also have the infrared technology to spot one marijuana plant from 500 feet in the air and spend a lot of time and money doing it, but can't spot a nuke in a shipping container due to manpower and technology constraints. Pure BS if you ask me. Certain people in the government WANT a big attack to use as an excuse to shorting out all civil liberties in this country and begin the great socialist experiment (again).

It's OK ... I didn't mean to hector either.
But since this vote took place (in the USHOR (House of Horrors? :) yesterday, there have been a number of posts here in FR flippantly stating (in a joking manner, of course) about going offshore .. which I think is an absolutely abhorrant approach to the issue, even as a joke it isn't very funny. This is YOUR (OUR) U.S. Government seeking to restrict YOUR(OUR) First Amendment Rights, guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. There can be nothing flippant or even humorous on this issue, its a serious issue and should be treated in all seriousness by every American. Our fundamental rights are at stake here, as we are all well aware
