And this so-called "War on Terror" was declared by the very man who took those freedoms? And this man had a track record of using this "War on Terror" as an excuse to attack countries that had nothing to do with terrorism?
I think they would wonder why they bothered, and tell freedom-loving people it was time to start over.

The founders were exceptionally intelligent, perceptive and solution-oriented. First, they'd call Bush a tyrant, and they spell out how he had abused his power. Second,
they'd be surprised the US government and constitution had lasted as long as it had, and they'd give it a tune up rather than scrap it since it had worked for so long.
They'd amend the constitution to put a cap on power of this "unitary executive". They'd affirm the power of congress to stop wars and they'd write an amendment specifically giving the people the right to privacy. They'd define "torture" in a clear way and they'd reaffirm the Geneva Conventions. They'd be surprised at universal sufferage, and would require the schools to teach classes in government, history, philosophy and logic so that voters could make intelligent choices.

probable no longer. returned then each and every physique became religious, and we did no longer understand approximately stuff like organic and organic chemistry and evolution. smart layout became truthfully a quite logical theory returned then. The founding fathers in basic terms needed expert freedom, they weren't attempting to create a suitable deistic/atheist society.

They would have lost it when we gave up our rights to property ownership and when we gave police the power to intimidate citizens. They would understand temporary suspension in a time of war.

First of all, the founding fathers were isolationists. They never would have gotten involved in an international conflict to begin with.

I would say they would be rolling over in their graves, however they probably haven't stopped spinning since we started with all these entitlements we're giving out...

Okay, I'll take the bait. What freedoms have we supposedly lost? Or, is this just another lame, emotional liberal slogan?
