It's The Constitution, Stupid!

Despite all the rhetoric and mobilization of the police and military, the only real act of successfully opposing terrorists was when civilians took matters into their own hands and foiled the fourth hijacked plane on Sept. 11. While our government has failed miserably to protect anyone, this foiling of a fourth attack, apparently targeted against the White House, shows that our fellow citizens are still our best defense.
Homeland security and wars against terrorism are not enough. Even a return to a prosperous economy is not enough. Americans demand and deserve something far more important: Protect and defend America's Bill of Rights. Our highest priority is, has always been and should always continue to be defending the inalienable rights guaranteed by our Constitution. Every elected official and military officer is sworn to "protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic," not the president or Congress. Brave American men and woman gave their lives to defend and uphold our Constitution. That's why all Americans must oppose any action that undermines those freedoms or betrays these brave patriots and the rights they fought to uphold. These courageous Americans understood that inalienable rights cannot be separated from us by any law, regulation, presidential order or supreme court. We need to respect and uphold our inalienable rights as indivisible and absolute. Anything in any bill before any legislature that would infringe on our rights should be seen as a an unpatriotic action that helps terrorists by undermining our heritage as a freedom-loving country. Those who tell us that we must give up our freedom to fight terrorism betray our American ideals and the real patriots who fought to make America a beacon for freedom and justice. Now, all of that is about to change. As reported in the San Francisco Chronicle, President Bush wants to use a secret federal Court to override very constitutional protections that make our country so great. This federal court has been in secret operation for 20 years and has approved 10,000 searches and surveillance and rejected only one request. If Bush gets his wish, due process will be suspended as these cases are expanded to include criminal cases against American citizens and no one will be allowed to even see the evidence used against them. In California, the Bush administration is already escalating its war of terror against medical marijuana patients, using similar secret courts, sealed warrants and even raiding attorney's and doctor's offices, in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution. Where does our duty lie when both America and our Constitution are under attack on two very different fronts? Certainly not to our inept political leaders, who got us all into this mess with their constant meddling in the affairs of other countries. No, our duty clearly lies with those patriots who have given their lives for our American freedom and democracy. It is to those courageous and truly patriotic Americans that we must be true – by upholding our precious Constitution and Bill of Rights, against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It is time for America to act with its brains, not its brawn and uphold the very principles that have made America the greatest nation in the world. America must continue to earn the respect of other countries for its commitment to freedom and human rights, not because of it military or economic strength. Whatever course our great country may take, let us resolve that it will be our glorious Constitution and Bill of Rights – not fear or false promises of security – that illuminates our path.

Government is a Terrible MasterBy Steve Kubby
October 18, 2001 Everyone's talking about terrorism these days, but my family and I have experienced terrorism – up close and personal. We survived our terrorist attack and, in the process, we learned a great deal about how state-sponsored terrorism actually operates in America today.Complete Article -- http://www.antiwar.com/orig/kubby2.html

Remarkable
...My favorite quote from 4Qs previous post;"Now, the American people have got to go about their business. We cannot let the terrorists achieve the objective of frightening our nation to the point where we don't conduct business or people don't shop."....Oh yeah......just pretend everythings fine,,,go shopping dammit,,,,,,,but dont get pulled over.I dont know if you've heard,but the latest tool in law enforcement,is about to be approved,,I think it might have even been in one of those hazy anti-terror bills that were rubber stamped last week,,,,Anyway,,,it seems that all law enforcement personell will soon be outfitted with the latest device in the war on terror!It will be using the latest technology in non-invasive anal probing.The new system,known as;PAP,(Polite Anal Probe), is reported to have powerful terror detection capabilities.........So go ahead,,Go out Shopping!.....A quick, simple probe is a small price to pay for not getting terrorized,,,and some people have reported that this new PAP technology is not that unpleasant,,,in fact,many people lokk forward to the non-invasive procedure!.. Richard Simmons even described it as "Fun!".........ddddimented

Strange,but Real,and True with 4Q
OK,,,here are some actual quotes,from the transcripts,of der shrubs latest press conference....I'm not kidding!I have not altered these quotes at all! You couldnt get away with writing this kinda stuff,even in the cheapest of trashy Sci-Fi novels,or lousy conspiracy theory rubbish.
This is real,uncut reality of who is in power!How bout this:"Let me be clear about this: We will win the war on terrorism, and we will also continue to fight important battles
at home," Bush told the American Society of Anesthesiologists in a speech delivered by videotape in New
Orleans. "During the past few days, our nation has experienced one of the darkest moments in our history," he said. "Yet
even in the midst of this tragedy, the eternal lights of America's goodness and greatness have shown through." or this:
"This is a time of testing; this time of testing has revealed the true
character of the American people. We're angry at the evil that was done to
us, yet patient and just in our response.Before Sept. 11, my administration was planning an initiative called
Communities of Character. It was designed to help parents develop good
character in their children and to strengthen the spirit of citizenship and
service in our communities. The acts of Sept. 11 have prompted that
initiative to occur on its own in ways far greater than I could have ever
imagined.We have shown great love for our country and great tolerance and respect for
all our countrymen.Now, the American people have got to go about their business.We cannot let the terrorists achieve the objective of frightening our nation
to the point where we don't conduct business or people don't shop.That's their intention. Their intention was not only to kill and maim and
destroy, their intention was to frighten to the point where our nation would
not act. Their intention was to so frighten our government that we wouldn't
seek justice; that somehow we would cower in the face of their threats and
not respond abroad or at home. We're both responding abroad and at home.".ya just couldnt make this stuff up,,,until next time..Strange,but Real,and True with 4Q

anthrax, antelope, and the wolf at my door
An antelope's home is on the range where the deer play and the buffalo roam. Pretty much free as a bird, you know. The way God planned it, don't 'cha think? Nonchalant, unfettered and all that stuff.The wolf at my door is there everyday, some little ol' terrorist ain't gonna chase him away, either.No, he's trying to sell me anthrax coated lozenges.Lucky I have my freedom so I have enough brains to know what he is up to.

she said "yes"
One of the hijackers asked a passenger if she believed in god. With tears in her eyes, she said "yes" before one of the hijackers blew her away.
