"The civil liberties of people of all ideologies are threatened by a government determined to appear tough on terrorism. The government is going to be given broad new powers to investigate people for political activities -- activities on both sides of the political spectrum."

Investigate for political activities...just like Stalin, Hitler and Mao. No wonder they want to disarm everyone while they arm the hell out of themselves...

    An accurate enough determination. J Carlton references well a very accurate depiction of the threat (in effect happenstance) to a once land of the free and home of the brave. I'm not sure how to rate this, a thumbs down for the maniacal application or 5 stars for accuracy.

    They probably will get rid of liberals first as Communists always get rid of fellow travelers. They refer to them as "useful idiots".

    The doctrines of liberty and freedom witch we live under in this country are granted by the God of the old 66. The rock upon witch the republic rest. If the rest of the world wishes to join our liberty and freedom and the state there of. Then comply by a declaration of confession as our declaration of independence . Miss. Murphy gives a blanket statement as though all people live under our declaration. Not so ! The ACLU is only a platform to undermine our liberty and freedom granted us by the God of nature.
