Tired of people saying, "we must give up some of our rights for awhile but will get them back sometime in future" and then seeing those same people saying " We have not lost any rights."
Makes one wonder are they trying to fool others and themselves or just supporting the people who took away the rights?
With a President and our military saying "we are in a war with no end", just how long away is sometime in the future.
"For Now" is too long to a free person!

Haha, great question! It is the sort of awkward question children ask of parents and sometimes politicians: straight to the point!
I think the answer depends on who you are talking about. Some politicians are cleverer than others and are far more careful than the example you give.
Forgive me if I am wrong but I get the impression you are in the USA. Is this correct? I say this because here is a great example of the sort of person you speak of. This president is particularly unintelligent as politicians go, often making statements as if he is God, never expecting to be questioned! He seems to think he says the right thing at the time to the particular people in front of him, his efforts being like a child seeking the approval of parents one moment and saying different things to friends at school the next.
Of course, to some extent all politicians do this, but most take care to use language which is less 'absolute' and therefore more subtle. George W. is a particularly easy target for those who can see beneath 'political correctness' (or lack of it)! He is also a particularly easy target for the calm, normal peace loving citizens who make up the vast majority of the population of our little planet. This is because he says and does things which suggest a lack of awareness as to how the world will react to his ill-thought out statements and actions.
Can someone please tell him there is a world beyond Texas and the boundaries of little USA? (No insult intended).

At sometime in the future means 'Not now'. I know you want to hear that the war is over now, that we have all our rights now (which we do, btw...) but that's not how it is. I think you need to practice a little something called patience.

Some time in the future = I HAVE NO IDEA IN HELL!
They just want to give you some hope and make you believe that they will be working on 'the issues'

For Now = "While I am in office".
Sometime in the Future = "When my term is up".
I guess this is a good translation.

It's basically saying "don't hold your breath".
