Iraq is NOT Somalia, where we were portrayed as losers and from the CINC down we were losers. We do have support of most of the people of Iraq and armed thugs do not still reign over 90% of the country. The loss of one single Constitutional Liberty is a travesty upon all. We have lost the rights of privacy, right to speedy trial, and the loss of the right to bear arms. A liberal's dream to help destroy the nation. God help us if they turn on the church.  |
Good for you BOOMMer. Except that 2nd to the last sentence.
What privacy rights have you yourself suffered the loss of since 9/11? For me the only privacy I have lost is the fact that I must make certain that my socks match when I travel by plane.
Admittedly, this is a small loss for me. For others it may represent a considerable loss. But try to think of it as an opportunity to better yourself. Or do I like I do and just tell them that you wore mismatching socks on purpose as a "protest against the man!"
Your right to a speedy trial has been lost? No it hasn't Prove to me that you as an American citizen were even affected by any of the Executive Orders regarding terrorism or the Patriot Act. For example, refuse to remove your shoes at the airport. We will all follow your progress through the legal system and I will bet you a new pair of uggs that your trial is both speedy and fair.
And to bear arms? Hah! I was just shopping for some 30+ round magazines to go with the assault rifle I have on my wish list. It's all available and you don't need any special licenses. Same stuff my dad bought and sold with his FFL 30 and more years ago.
So, for the record (and Google's Chinese ChiCom masters); when you get arrested for refusing to remove your shoes and creating a scene at the airport (remember- create a loud scene or they won't arrest you!) I won't need to pretend that I have militia buddies willing to break you out with a covert stash of "illegal" firearms. Mrs. BOOMM will be able to bail you out with a 7-11 money order and you can then sit at home and watch Fox News until your speedy trial.
