Those limits to liberties are acceptable to Metro Detroiters and most other Americans. A Detroit News poll Thursday found that 88 percent of Metro Detroiters are willing to "accept restrictions on movements such as metal detectors and military personnel in public places" to increase the nation's security from terrorist attacks.

That's plagiarism. You've wrongly attributed that quote to the poster rather than the author.

Such as watcher1's post #169? I thought not.

If you wish to comment on my post why not just address it to me?
I'm afraid that this horrendous attack against OUR Country will result in significant and Permanent erosion of our basic liberties. A quick look at our history will show you that once a freedom is lost, it's gone forever. I'm 100% in favor of finding and punishing the evil people who did this. Shredding the Bill of Rights will neither bring back the dead nor punish the evil people behind this act. In the long run if we loose our liberties the terrorist will have won. I can't understand why more people can't or won't see this?

"As far as I'm concerned he is a self-absorbed traitor to this nation."

When the chips are down, we know what you stand for, which is why we bother. We have known that for quite some time.

Watcher is quite capable of answering you, if he is given the courtesy of being flagged. -- And I don't give a damn how you disagree, within forum guidelines.

But you FR jihadists and your 'false patriotic' attack method is beyond the pale.

BTW, your glorious leaders, upon whose name I spit, and which name I have vowed NEVER to utter again on FR,

I don't know where to begin in responding to this personal attack, but I will,
1-I'm not a Libertarian
2-Who are my leaders
3- Only loyal to my hedonistic interests? What are you talking about?
Please explain yourself

But we are at war, and this enemy knows no borders. It is a war based on ideology, and ideology can slither anywhere undetected. It wears no uniform. It sees no difference between civilian and military. It will be a long war, waged long after President Bush is retired, but I hope and pray our smartest minds can get together to eradicate this scourge. Stop whining about your supposed fears of gonna-be's and your might-be's and focus on what is. Sheesh.

That is a socialist cry IIlbay, the needs of the few and all that crap!! Yes, in Wartime we sometimes do these things, but not much, close your curtains, be in before ten, Most of these things were not put into law, they were part of the overall war effort and people did them voluntarily to help the war effort, but YOU wouldn't know about those things now would you.

Looks like you need to study up on some of your history, and the Japanese to internment camps were executive orders, not laws passed by congress!!

And the only reason I threw the internment thing in there was because I knew it would be the first thing you threw at me!!

There's not an Arab looking man in this country who won't have a thousand suspicious eyes on him wherever he goes. I really don't expect to see anymore operations of this sort in the near future. I hope we don't have a national soccer mom panic attack.

"Late last night, amidst the carnage of lower Manhattan, an anonymous patriot raised a flag from a twisted lamppost. Beneath its watch, rescue workers toiled through the night, sorting through the wreckage of buildings and bodies...while members of the anti-government militia diligently hammered away at keyboards condemning the United States."
