So one has to fly the flag all over the place to prove they are patriotic?

Now I don't own a home, but I don't have the flag anywhere on display. I don't need to to prove that I love this country. Yes if I owned a home, I would fly it outside. But thats it. I don't need a bumper sticker or some crap. To me those who fly it all over the place are just desperate for attention.

To me his point was valid. Before 9/11 people were like they are now. They take what they have in this country for granted. They think freedom doesn't cost anything. After 9/11 everyone and their mother went and bought a flag or other "I love America" things. Now many of those people are back to the way they were before. Hating the government for trying to keep them safe.

And don't quote Benjamin Franklin to justify your point. For one his quote doesn't apply to the modern world. There are many things in the modern world that the founding fathers couldn't have even begun to comprehend. In their day, the idea of someone blowing themselves up in a crowd of innocents wasn't even imaginable. But it's reality now.

You people can call me whatever you want. I don't care. You say that trying to track and ID terrorists or other criminals is a bad thing because what if its used against an innocent. I say the pros outweigh the cons. You say that everyone's opinion matters. Well so does mine then.

And some of you are right. Countries come and go. And I see another Civil War in America coming. On one side you'll have bleeding heart liberals who think America is this big evil empire bent of world domination and control of its citizens lives (which will be ironic since they favor more domestic programs that entrench more actively in the lives of America's citizens). And on the other side you'll have people who care about America first, then the rest of the world. People who recognize that the world isn't the way it was in the past. That threats have to be met with force because talking in a room only serves to waste time while someone sneaks up behind you to put a knife in your back.

FYI, our government knows exactly where 99% of terror cells are. It is not only the liberals who think the government has overstepped it's bounds. The founding fathers words are just as much if not more relevant today than they were in the past. So what do you suggest, completely disregard what this country was founded upon so that some terrorists don't bomb us? More people die from eating fast food per year than some terrorists could ever kill. I say to the supposed terrorists and anyone else who is hellbent on taking my rights as an American away, bring it. I've got plenty of ammo. Didn't baby bush say that they hate us for our freedom? So why in the hell are we having it taken away?
