let us disagree on the liberty issues then also

most Americans in my view are willing to sacrifice some liberties for greater security
have you noticed how incredibly silent the ACLU is now?
where are these numbnut defenders of freedom?
they care more about Church & State separation
they are hiding behind Bushes until the nation feels more secure

no, Congress is stalemate deadlocked
ever since Jeffords defected to the Democrats
and Americans will soon figure it out
Daschle is a pedagogue clown
utterly amazing that a clown from a podunk state like SoDakota can stymy the Senate

Gephardt is the biggest imbecile I have ever seen in HouseRep
Democrats are gonna lose in 2002 midterms
not a slaughter, rather just enough to produce Repub majority

the public cares more about jobs than search & seizures
more about family bills payment than financial bank tracking
more about IRAs and Johnny and Suzy college funds,
than the slightly higher costs of increased security

I disagree ... we will see

I see very little backlash against AttyGenl Ashcroft
I expected to see much much more
and expected to see ACLU in your face
hasnt happened, I am pleased to see
as time passes and the threats abate, you may see the outcry
this country has put civil liberties before defense steadily
and I expect it might revert to that hidebound mode

What basic rights has Ashcroft taken away from you? Or from anyone?
