Life without liberty is not worth living. We can have both civil liberties and secuity; it is not an either or situation. The government does not need to spy on us to find terroists.
Some just don't have faith in their fellow countrymen to help maintain that freedom. Do you think for one moment that another plane will ever get hyjacked in the country? The spirit of flight 93 shows that when push come to shove people are willing to fight for their freedoms. I thought, as a conservative, you knew this. That is what is sometimes backwarRAB about conservatives they want government out of thier lives, unless on moral issues, but want some big old father figure and military to protect them.
