Regardless of who was ultimately responsible for the 9-11-2001 attack on the World Trade Center, I think we all agree that it was an act of terrorism. Immediately afterwards the government told us this happened because the terrorists hate our freedom. So what was the government's response? Was it to throw out all "laws" that prevent us from defending ourselves and others in defense of freedom? Nope. Not even close. The government's response was to make more freedoms go away. So wouldn't this mean that the government decided the terrorists were not thorough enough so government would finish their job for them? Seems that way to me. Ben Frankiln warned that those who give up essential freedom for temporary "safety" will have neither. What you will have is a more powerful government. The US government HATES freedom and seems determined to erradicate it in all its forms, except for mind-numbing entertainment. As long as they can watch movies, listen to music, or play video games, most people believe they are free.
Where were the terrorists that all of these freedom killing "laws" were supposed to catch? Make no mistake; if there had been any terrorist "cells" in America on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, we would have seen more attacks. Nothing happened other than the US government declared war on America.
If government ever really wants to get rid of terrorism, they could. All it would take is:
Remove any "law" that makes self defense punishable by "law", on the ground or in the air!
Remove "laws" regulating ownership and carrying of weapons
Stop molesting and killing people in other lands.
Abide by the very clear language and intent of the Bill of Rights.
As long as they do not do these things, you can be sure that "The War on Terror" is a phantom menace orchestrated to keep Americans scared enough to put up with terroristic behavior from government.
