Be True To The Founding Fathers--Except When Inconvenient
This is off topic, but I couldn't resist. Ran across this quote from Thomas Jefferson: "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."
Notwithstanding the proclaimed allegiance to the wishes of the founding fathers (and Jefferson qualifies, doesn't he?), the war on terror is used to justify the abrogation of any freedom, the infringement of any right, the assertion of any power.
America is the land of the free. Nobody ever said freedom is easy. But if you abandon freedoms just because you're attacked, hasn't the other guy already won?
