Give me my freedom. I'll protect myself.
They lied to us after 9/11/2001. They said we won't let them win, we won't change the way we run America. We won't give up our way of life. Then what did they do? They made the Patriot Acts and the National ID laws.
If they claim we're not going to change them then why these new laws? Why Homeland Security? Don't get me wrong. I want America protected, but face it, my fellow Americans, we are running scared when we make new laws that limit our freedoms. We have changed because of them and we have done what they wanted us to do! Limit the freedoms we enjoy. Ask yourself this question. How have these laws which make it much more easy for the government to spy on us how have they made us any safer? They now can look into your library records to see what book you read. Why should they know this? What if you read a book about serial killers does this make you a serial killer? What if you have a class and must read that book for your class? Should the government be able to check you out? And think about this.
Going on a plane these days is like being a criminal. They have the right to strip search you if they suspect you for any reason they should not be able to do this that easy, it's not right! Yes, we must check bags and suitcases, fine, but the limits on a plane have become STUPID! You can't bring on a lighter, but matches you can bring on. I'm saying this. Sure, we must have a way to weed out the evil people, but if we make laws that limits the freedoms of every American then we no longer are the America our founders fought and died for.
We don't need these new laws. Law enforcement have always been able to find anyone they wanted to find. They just did not work with each other sharing information that was their fault. They had egos, but America and its citizins should not have new laws put upon them just because of the failures of it's government. It is for them to fix their mistakes and not to subject us to a loss of our civil liberties.
NOTE:
For those of you in favor of the Patriot Acts or the National ID laws I have proof they are not needed. Last night I was stopped by the police because my car does not have low beam lights at this time and while I was stopped the officer was able to find out who I was, where I lived and that I was who I said I was and he had no National ID card. He had my PA Drivers License, that's all we need!! If you believe that we need these new laws then you are being duped by our goverment.
In conclusion I say repeal all those laws that limit our civil liberties and let us protect ourselves!! Local, state, and federal goverments should work together fighting crime and terror, but they should not be allowed to search anyone's home without a search warrant. With these laws they can search your home without a warrant and this is abuse by our goverment. I say make them get warrants, make them work together, but leave the innocent American citizens ALONE!!
