I'm not "willing" to surrender any of my rights in the name of security. To surrender my rights makes me more vulnerable to more threats than I already am. Even the one's that are trying to "protect" me. Anyone or anything that takes away my rights is a threat, especially when they try to convince me it's for my own good.

I'm having to give a lot now for no other reason but to satisfy someone's hate for one thing or another so surrendering other things isn't going to be that bad compared to the outcome if we didn't.

I haven't surrendered any of my rights. What rights have you lost other than the right to talk to foreign terrorists with out anyone listening?

I wonder that myself....
The people who seem to be most willing to surrender their natural and God-given rights are the neo-cons, who say, "You should only be worried if you are a terrorist" if anyone complains.
Makes one wonder how they can cozy up to the religious right one minute, and then be happy with their God-given rights being reduced the next....

Benjamin Franklin said words to the effect: "Those who would be willing to sacrifice freedom to obtain security, deserve neither."
Why should we give up or consitutional and civil rights as an aledged safeguard against terrorism, when the Bush administration has done nothing to pursue Osama bin Laden and instead engaged in a diversionary tactic in Iraq?

How many more of our rights will we be willing to surrender due to Democrats taking or freedoms and choices . They want to control everything.

For me, None. I would start a Civil war rather than live in a Police state. I am happy to Live in Canada, Land of the Free, Not in the US, behind the Iron Curtain. I live in Canada, a social democracy, not in the US, a Fascist regime.... America look closely at your government. You are not far from wearing swastikas and goose stepping.... Not far at all.

You know, the only thing I've personally had to give up since 9/11 was wearing socks with holes when I fly.
If you can name any one right you've lost, I'll give you a star.

As many as the government feels we should give up. They already search us at airports without a warrant, search cars and trucks at bridges and tunnels. There is electronic surveilance, but that has actually been going on for a long time. It is just easier in a wireless age.
