What we're up against
I am so disgusted with the people on this particular forum I'm ready to leave. This place is an artist type forum and someone posted yesterday about illegal wiretaps and catching terrorists. This is an example of the many replies:

I also agree and go one step further..... I want our government and the governments of our allies to do whatever is necessary to prevent any future attack on our country and the lives of innocents. Screw the terrorists and their rights, screw taking the time to get a warrant when the time it might take would jeopardize an operation that would save 100's or 1,000's of lives.
Wiretap away, torture, I'm not against it if it's necessary to get information.

I'm glad were sitting here today posting our opinions about this subject instead of what the posts might have been had the powers that be not done what was necessary yesterday to uncover a plot that would have changed history forever.

1. And How Long Do They Think They Can Sit There?
Isn't it amazing how shortsighted these people are? Why do they think they will not be stopped some day? Stupid.

3. What happened to . . .
"Give me LIBERTY or give me DEATH"??

If I have to live in a fascist, police state then the terrorists win.

4. If our founding fathers had been scardy cats like those posters, they
would not have been our founding fathers. Our founding fathers pledged their lives and fortunes to secure our freedoms and those chicken shits want to piss it all away. I find that disgusting!

5. Mirrors are everywhere....
why oh why people think they're so damn unique simply because of the geographic location they were born in is beyond me. It most be a defense mechanism which allows them to believe they are secure as long as the dogs are chasing someone else....and every time they make these illogical statements it reinforces they're idea of security.

8. Okay

when did this forum become a part of the freeper blog. These kind of comments need to be brought to the moderators attention. We do not want trolls.

10. Please clarify
I took it to mean that you were referring to another blog . . . I don't think everyone is understanding it that way. Could you clarify for us?

Thanks!

11. sorry for the confusion
Yes, this was a DIFFERENT forum I was referring too. And the comments have only gone downhill. A few hardy and sensible souls are trying to educate these lunkheads but it's a hopeless task.
