anti american? I consider anyone who attacks the aclu as unclear on the concept of what it means to be American. civil liberties are our greatest treasure you nitwit.
Without national security, there is NO CIVIL LIBERTIES. The ACLU is VERY selective in the "groups' rights" they protect. Ask them when the last defended the freedom to practice religion in this country. Ask them the last time they protected a soldier's basic rights.
The people that are crying about terrorists rights being violated will not discuss what the other side is doing. You seem willing.
Please explain how threatening some one with a power drill is sooo bad when bodies have been found in Iraq with numerous holes drilled into the skulls? The ones threatened still have their skulls and lives.
Please explain how threatening to shoot someone is worse than 4 men holding a bound man, while a fifth saws off his head?
Please explain how allowing someone to pray (providing them prayer rugs and quran) is worse than slaughtering people of other religions that live near terrorists?
Why is it that in this world, where dictators & tyrants are violating "civil rights" and trying to take over the world (including this country), that the left ONLY has a problem with the people that are trying to prevent the terror, prevent the elimination of citizens' rights, and protect this country that has improved the rights of people all over the world?
War is psychological, it is what people fear might happen that wins, not what they know "will" happen. If your enemy knows what you will do, you can be defeated. If your enemy does not know how far you are willing to go, you will defeat them.
At what point will the left stand for this country? If another city is attacked? If a city near them is attacked? If a "dirty" bomb is set off? If nerve or blood agents are used on their family? Do THEIR children have to be killed? When will the left protect this country (and its borders)?
