fighting a foreign enemy.
..”If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.” ..
-James Madison
In viewing the state of affairs in the US of A the idea that the government has our best intrest at heart during this war on terror just doesn’t add up. Today I sat at my kitchen table listening to a long time family friend go on and on about the freedoms in America and what Arab terrorists have done to it. I could not help but ask him what laws have Arabs actually enacted which reduce our freedoms. The last time I checked it was branches of the federal government that was responsible for the homeland security act, and it was local governments like that of New York City that came up with the silly and ineffective idea to illegally search the bags of subway riders. Furthermore, it was us American citizens that went along with it without any real protest. Sure the usual suspects like the ACLU raised their voices, but it is the salt of the American earth like my family friend that supports this farce and this is sad.
Anyway, his answer was that they were forced to pass such laws because of terrorism and it is only to protect us. Keep in mind that he started out complaining about declining freedoms and to him it was the terrorists fault. I guess he never heard that some of the provisions of homeland security act, and even the plans to attack Iraq were actually being drawn up long before planes flew into the world trade center in NY. Just as I told him, you dear reader can also see for yourself how deep this goes at: http://www.freedomfiles.org/war/homeland.htm

He stared at me in disbelief but was brave enough to ask the question my statement and the evidence implied. His question was whether or not I am implying that our government wanted such terrorist attacks as a guise for passing these types of laws. I think he was on the right track but it was rather difficult for him to go further with the implication-that our government or factions of it not only wanted but probably had a role in the attacks in order to get the sort of laws passed that homeland security present and because they wanted to go to war with Iraq. When Bush said terrorists hate our freedoms, then sponsor laws that removes said freedoms, one must conclude that he is either a terrorist or terrorist supportor since he is promoting freedom denying laws. One can further conclude that he hates our freedoms and needed an event to remove them. “nothing in politics happens by accident according to FDR”. The attacks on 911 caused untold political benfits for neo-cons and major harm to the freedom loving state of America. We have become a nation of citizens demanding denial of rights, denial of freedoms for the fleeting benefit of protection.
