Do you think terrorists have accomplished their mission by tearing apart our overall trust in our Government?

Answer 1

NO, trust in congress was at a record low before 9/11, trust in the president dropped considerably as the clintons destroyed the honor of the office.

Today, the media seeks to destroy a president, so perhaps you are correct and the media are the terrorists. Today socialists in congress seek to overthrow the rule of law, the constitution, in many ways and the media refuses to even mention it.

We are at war of that there is no doubt, but the enemy is within and its name is communism and it will destroy our country if we do not take action.

Answer 2

No, their mission goes a lot further than tearing apart trust; They want to destroy the west for our life style

Answer 3

George Bush did that!

The problem with you question is Bush didn't attack terrorist's or anyone who had anything to do with 9/11. Now we are killing Iraqi's who are in the middle of a civil war!

Terrorist got all the help they needed from Bush if tearing apart our overall trust of government.

And I wish it was only that, but it extends far wider than just to terrorist!

Would you trust a government who sends kids to war in unarmored humvee's (They still haven't given them armored ones), who got 33, 000 wounded, many missing limbs from IED's, who cuts VA Hospitals in 2006 by $100 BILLION and then gives a tax-cut to the wealthy?

And what do you think of a government that says this?


San Francisco Chronicle"
Gonzales says the Constitution doesn't guarantee habeas corpus

Attorney general's remarks on citizens' right astound the chair of Senate judiciary panel

One of the Bush administration's most far-reaching assertions of government power was revealed quietly last week when Attorney General Alberto Gonzales testified that habeas corpus -- the right to go to federal court and challenge one's imprisonment -- is not protected by the Constitution.

"The Constitution doesn't say every individual in the United States or every citizen is hereby granted or assured the right of habeas,'' Gonzales told Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Jan. 17.
Gonzales acknowledged that the Constitution declares "habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless ... in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.'' But he insisted that "there is no express grant of habeas in the Constitution.''

Specter was incredulous, asking how the Constitution could bar the suspension of a right that didn't exist -- a right, he noted, that was first recognized in medieval England as a shield against the king's power to dispatch troublesome subjects to royal dungeons. ...

Bruce Fein, a former Reagan Justice Department attorney who has become an outspoken critic of the Bush administration, noted that the day before his Judiciary Committee appearance, Gonzales had denounced "activist judges'' and advised them to stay out of national security matters.

Gonzales' comments to the committee on habeas corpus, Fein said, contained a message that "Congress doesn't have to let them (judges) decide national security matters.''
"It's part of an attempt to create the idea that during conflicts, the three branches of government collapse into one, and it is the president,'' Fein said.

______________________________________________
Last night during FOX's On the Record host Greta van Susteren and her guests discussed the fact that Alberto Gonzalez, Attorney General of the United States and the highest law enforcer in the land, authorized a search warrant at the Rayburn House Capitol Building at 7:00 PM Saturday May 20th in violation of 218 years of separation of powers guaranteed by the Constitution.

Van Susteren and three members of her panel of lawyers - Jim Hammer, Jeff Brown and Bernie Grimm - all agreed that Alberto Gonzalez had gone too far. Both Dennis Hastert and Nancy Pelosi have condemned the action. None of the FOX News legal eagles had a problem with that part of the search warrant that authorized a search of Jefferson's home.

However, van Susteren said the search of the Congressman's Capitol Hill office is the first action of its kind in the history of the Congress.

Ted Williams made all kinds of excuses for Gonzalez' actions, claiming that Jefferson was caught dead to rights in a videotaped shake down and somehow this justified the warrant. He was definitely in the minority on this topic.
Van Susteren responded, "The Speaker [Dennis Hastert], the Leader [Nancy Pelosi] and the former Speaker of the House [Newt Ginrich] and, I think, the rest of us, you know, agree if you looked at the Constitution, you know, that seems to be an easy one."

To which Jeff Brown replied, "Good. Well then walk right up to Alberto Gonzalez and tell him to start raiding Tom Delay and Bob Ney's office!"

Van Susteren ended the segment by saying "... you can't trample on Constitutional rights as you do it."
