Freedom is a Threat to the US

Attorney Criminal - or is it General? - Alberto Gonzales says that those of us who are aware that he is destroying freedom are a grave threat to US security. Isn't that funny. The security interests of the US are counter to the interests of American freedom. Which one is more important? Which one should win out? Once again this demonstrates that the United States is the greatest danger America has ever faced. When a federal judge actually has the courage to declare a federal program unconstitutional we should all pay attention. Federal judges are not known for their ability to understand the Constitution where it puts limits on governmental power. It seems to confuse them in those instances. Sleezy Gonzales sees "liberty" as only applicable if it fits his view of "civic responsibility" and federal government security. Who among us is a "civic"? There is only personal responsibility. Where interests of the state and the individual clash, the individual must prevail. Everything is based on the individual; the building block of society.
