Do you not realize that Terrorism is a guise to restrict your Civil Rights?

Question

We are now seeing the fruits of the 9/11 conspiracy........

Every act, every bill, every action of Government is under the banner of Terrorism.

Answer 1

I agree with you. However, there are a lot of people who will disagree with you. The problem is that these bills that are passed are so vague and complicated and has sexy names that appeal to the masses that people just don't see the veiled threat to the gradual erosion of the civil liberties that the constitution protects. Most people will not bother to understand the implications because of the above reasons, because they are mislead, because they are lied to, and because the effects are not blatant and obvious.

That is how freedoms are slowly taken away. If the laws were blatant and available in common language, and the effects are obvious, most people will rise up against the government.

The fore-fathers of the constitution foresaw this, and strongly cautioned against it.

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
– George Washington

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
– Benjamin Franklin

"It is true that you may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."
- Abraham Lincoln

"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
– Thomas Jefferson

"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty."
– Thomas Jefferson

"This [the U.S. Constitution] is likely to be administered for a course of years and then end in despotism... when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic government, being incapable of any other."
- Benjamin Franklin

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
- Abraham Lincoln

"If you have ten thousand regulations, you destroy all respect for the law."
– Winston Churchill

Answer 2

Home tests are tricky. So, think outside the box -- strike that -- throw 'away' the box! An underlying meaning nestled in the question for the home test is, -- war is not civil and in fact the exception and thus does not fulfill the definition of Civil Rights as outlined under the 14th Amendment... Thus before and during the Civil War and 2nd World War there were plentiful examples that contradict civil rights -- which glaring restrictions would be later addressed in the 13th Amendment following the Civil War. But even that amendment was insufficient, so much that both the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts were brought to bear in the 1960's. This is the cynical rub: -- instituting an Act was swifter than grappling with long, drawn out tinkerings and bureaucracies involved with tacking on a new Amendment, which the Constitution is held by many to be a sacrament and not to be tampered with... Therefore -- here is a most glaring example: -- the 'reluctance' in legislatures today is in itself 'still' a 'restriction' of Civil Rights. Apparently still the topic is not thought crucial enough to amend the Constitution with regard to legally-defined civility. So you see, Civil Rights is still an example for which an ever-vigilant watch must be kept.

Answer 3

First of all, there are no conspiracy's. If there are, give me concrete proof, not the whining of a bunch of so called "experts." Secondly, yes, I will agree that lawmakers are using terrorism to restrict the civil rights of American citizens. They are also using the name of "immigration reform" to keep cheap labor in this country. After all, until all the paper work is filled out and the fines are paid, they are still here to work cheap. Not to mention the money they would make if this bill passed from those fines. If you want a conspiracy to chase, find out why fuel cost's so much yet the vast majority of Americans don't get compensated to cover the rising costs of fuel. As fuel prices go up, so do the cost's of food goods, clothing, parts, and a whole bunch of other little things most people don't think about. It's a chain reaction. The minimum wage goes up, and so does the cost of everything else. There's the real conspiracy. The poor make more money, but the middle class have to pay more, and it doesn't affect the wealthy. Chase that one for a while.

Answer 4

I do not totally agree with your statement at all. The comprehensive immigration bill is an example, congress and the President are trying to tell Americans this is good for us to give amnesty to millions that they say are hard working and doing jobs Americans won't do, yet they also say they have no idea who most of them are...and many who enter our country illegally could very well be terrorists. On the other hand our current President has done more to remove civil rights than any I can think of in my lifetime. Just because a person hasn't been arrested or disappeared doesn't mean it can't happen and with no habeus corpus, it can happen.

Answer 5

You need to take a closer look at your first statement. 9/11 was NOT a conspiracy. Even reknowned left-wing political activist Noam Chomsky says that the Bush Administration was NOT behind 9/11.

However, this does not mean that your second statement is not true. I completely agree with it. What's frustrating though, is that when you say things like "9/11 conspiracy" people shut down and don't listen to the truth of your second statement.

You've undermined your own effort to enlighten people about the incompetence and corruption of the Bush Family.

Answer 6

I don't get the people who do not care about the bills that are being passed that reduce our freedoms. Just because they haven't enforced the bills to their full extent yet means its ok, but when they finally do enforce the bill to its fullest extent it won't be ok and by then it will be too late to ***** and moan about it.

Why don't we just trash the constitution, since the government doesn't exploit us? If the constitution is trashed, would people then finally say something? Because what is happening is that these bills are trashing and starting to override the constitution and all some people are saying is that everything fine and dandy.

Answer 7

Yes I do but every1 else is just blind sheep. They should watch terror storm on infowars.com that proves the governments have been staging terror attacks.
Why is it so hard to believe that the government is corrupt? Look at history. I saw this great video on terrorism propaganda. You will notice that is all they talk about is how we are in danger and they may have to declare martial law. FEAR FEAR FEAR PROPAGANDA.

Excellent short video below:
wake up sheeple

Answer 8

A smart guy once said... those who give up freedom in order to try to get security...deserve neither !

Answer 9

Give the conspiracy theory a brake. Its, too old you must be watching too many Oliver Stone movies.

These bills and new laws which I fully support are too weak.

We need to show terrorist that we won't bend a take it. We need more prisons like Guatanaumo Bay with greater hardships for the prisoners. Right now the prisons like a summer day camp. Make terrorist pee in their pants from fright from just hearing the name Gitmo

Answer 10

Most people do not realize this because they do not see the impact of the Patriot Act on their daily lives. They do not realize what the Patriot Act gives the government the right to do. Just because the government hasn't abused its power to the point where the average person if affected by it doesn't mean they never will.
