What are the Democrat Proposals to Keep us safe from another MAJOR terror ATTACK on USA soil?

Question

The Democrats are against; Wire Taps, Patriot Act, Cuba Camps & Fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here.

What policies do they support?

Answer 1

The democrats are also against, defense spending, FISA, sanctions against Cuba & Venezuela, UN resolutions, international human rights, covert operations in Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia, border control and immigration reform to name just a few.

In other words: They are of the opinion that protection against terrorism is the ONLY thing that the government should NOT do for us.
I guess they will give out free switch blades and we are all on our own.
Good luck.

Answer 2

I recently heard someone on TV (can't remember who sorry) who said. we can do all we want to prevent another attack, but as we all know, where their is a will their is a way.
What that means is that no matter what we do their will be chances of another attack. I don't think we will ever see something to the magnitude of 911 but i think we are no safe.
fighting them over there is a myth. Al Qaeda again is NOT a band of mercenaries running around. al qaeda is an idealism they can recruit anywhere anytime and create a new cell.
Wire taps would have been correct if they had been done by the law. There is nothing wrong in making it public and hiding the names of those you want to put on wire tap. but to find out we are being watched? no way. we have constitutional rights. If the government wants to remove those rights then it should impose a martial law (good luck with that) if you think that Bush is a fake and he is lying to you can you wire tap his line? ... the rights are the same for everyone.

Answer 3

Policies that would actually protect us (and which Bush has staunchly opposed all along).

Rerouting flammable and other dangerous chemical-bearing trains from high population and other potential terrorist targets.

Securing our ports.

Rather than spying on innocent citizens (thereby violating the Constitution, and spying on people who are the LEAST likely to want to hurt America), using intelligence to identify and stop terrorists: hiring people fluent in Arabic in intelligence-gathering (Bush fired the only one they had, for being gay); cooperating with other countries in identifying and stopping terrorists.

Rather than inspiring more people to become terrorists by committing crimes against humanity such as torture and genocide, cleaning up our human rights record.

"Fighting them over there...." is not only a morally reprehensible idea, that no one with the least shred of human decency could ever support, but is, in fact counter-productive. (You think that things like the London and Madrid bombings are a GOOD thing, you are NOT a human being, but an unthinking, unfeeling sub-human brute.)

Bush's inhuman and idiotic policies have INCREASED the amount of terrorism world-wide.

He has made us, and everyone else in the world, LESS safe.

Yet you just ADORE and revere him, don't you?

Why do you hate America? Why do you hate humanity?

Answer 4

Senator Biden would take back one year of the tax cuts for Americans who make over a million dollars a year, and put this money in a dedicated Homeland Security and Public Safety Trust Fund to implement the 9/11 Commission recommendations and invest in law enforcement.

For $10 billion a year over the next five years we could:


-screen 100 percent of cargo containers coming into our ports, -better protect our chemical facilities,
improve air cargo screening,
-make sure that our first responders can talk to one another in emergencies,
-hire 1,000 more FBI agents,
-hire 50,000 more local cops, and
-create local counter-terrorism units in our large cities to stop home-grown plots

Answer 5

in case you're utilizing the familiar definition of terrorism---the single Obama ought to apply, you're incorrect. look up the definition of terrorism back...and bear in ideas, that's purely purpose. The final terrorist attack, via statute, grow to be 9/11. under US regulation, a terrorist attack can't take place against non-civilian aims (study: protection rigidity jurisdictions)...and had this airplane's bomb long gone off, it could have been because of the fact of mess united statesat the area of the Netherlands.

Answer 6

What are the Republican Proposals to Keep us safe from another MAJOR terror ATTACK on USA soil?

There...I fixed it for you.

Since the USA was Attacked while the Republicans were in control.

:)

Answer 7

and your proof????

I have yet to hear congress talk about getting out of Afghanistan. OUR actions brought the terrorist to Iraq and had we focused on the real issue we might have made a dent by now, but we tried to take out an easy target to show our strength and are getting slaughtered by 50 Cent devices on the side of roads.

Answer 8

Dems? They are just as bent on imposing US policy on sovereign countries as the reepos.

It has nothing to do with security. It has to do with keeping other countries under the US command. As Ward Churchill said, in 9/11 the chickens came home to roost.

Answer 9

I would say that the biggest and best one would be to just stop antagonizing the Middle East. That alone should make us less of a target. BTW, we re not fighting the terrorists over there, just the innocent Iraqis....

Answer 10

Inspections of cargo - tightening of borders - and good international cooperative police work

In other words - things that aren't being done now.
