why are so called conservatives expanding the federal police power?

Question

I though being a conservative/strict constructionist meant that you believed the police powers should be left to the states? what is going on?

Im not sure what the war on terrorism has to do with policing americans.

Answer 1

What's going on is that they're all a part of the big lie. This country (U.S.A) is like that "wolf in sheep's clothing." It's a dictatorship that creates a costume of freedom- a costume that was/is carefully crafted by politicians, government officials, judges, big business, etc... This costume is worn by each president- he who has the power to create illegal and unconstitutional laws (Executive Orders) without the consent of Congress or the citizens. With a few strokes of a pen, the dictator (Oops, I mean president. HA!) can suspend the Constitution for an indefinite amount of time.


EDIT:

TERRORISM MY A*S!

Consider the words of H.L. Mencken: "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed—and thus clamorous to be led to safety—by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

And please, spare me the Al Qaeda horror stories. Al Qaeda is a U.S. invention.

Answer 2

hi, I replied your different question, and that i think of that i can shed some mild in this project... in the beginning.... you're asking Republicans because of the fact Yahoo is administered(used by) republicans... They run approximately 70 p.c. of the internet website, provide or take some distinctive bills that they create.... No-one else has time to take a seat around all day, on Yahoo solutions, because of the fact maximum individuals have jobs... staggering now i'm on lunch ruin(because of the fact I particularly have a activity) and am basically checking my Y!A account.... you're staggering on the money approximately them, they are meant to be greater suited at spending government funds, yet fairly they start a pointless "conflict on terror." it incredibly is complicated to combat a conflict against an idealistic noun.... this could be a ingredient i'm going to in all probability make right into a query a sprint later.... To me, conservative ability: beginning pointless wars, scuffling with for a misplaced reason, worry mongering, Hillary Clinton, a patrio-nazi approach, assuming that each and every person Muslims are terrorists, and surfing Yahoo solutions all day....

Answer 3

Being a conservative also means lower government spending, but this administration has broken records for spending. The answer is that not all republicans are conservative nor all Democrats liberal. That is just how they are labeled as group. Individually they till have there own ideas and policies. If you ask me why Bush is a republican it is because of two reasons. His religion and policies as they relate to big business.

Answer 4

I think if you take a closer look you'll see as many Liberals involved. The Conservatives don't want to be the ones who are blamed for another terror incident so they have had to compromise some of their beliefs..only in a few areas. I see you still can ask these types of questions in a public forum without being arrested. So your freedom still exists in that area. People on our level probably notice very little difference in our day to day lives. Now if you're involved in terrorist schemes, you better look out.

Answer 5

That policy belief you are referring to disappeared from the Republican Party Platform when Bush won the nomination in 2000.

That's why/when I started voting Libertarian.

Answer 6

I vote conservative and I happen to think that many of the Home land security laws and rules to keep us safe are wrong. I do not want a national ID card. I do not want some fed. employee listening in on my personal phone calls or hacking into my computer. All of course with the contrived purpose of KEEPING US SAFE. What a load of poop.

Answer 7

Big Brother is setting the stage for Globalization.

Answer 8

I was in the states last summer and the lack of visible police presence was a little scary

Answer 9

it's supposed to keep the terrorist from being able to do another 9/11

Answer 10
