Legislators need to stop passing laws in an attempt to stop sin.

The Patriot Act smears our Constitutional protections, yet people somehow FEEL safer. Socialist disregard of our Constitutional guarantees will never MAKE us safer. No more career politicians chipping at the pillars of our constitution. Remove their power and vote against incumbent politicians.

The U.S. has millions of laws, regulations and ordinances. More than ANY other country in the world.

A socialist would say so Rosenthal. What do you do that our government made illegal? Are you a criminal because you smoke a joint every so often? What do you do???

Abuse is and has been happening.

Apparently someone else has been "drinkung" heavily too! hahaha

Stop giving money and power to government, by not paying illegal income taxes.

Why do you agree with this quote but rate it thumbs down?

Are you so scared of our government that you can't even laugh at a joke?

Our children are being indoctrinated by the government. They do NOT have even a slim chance to avoid the self-destruction of our country. In 50 years, it will be the United States of NORTH America. This is why our government keeps calling the U.S. a democracy. They will say, "but the majority" want this, even though it is unconstitutional.

Then how long? A year? A decade? A century? How about a millenium? Just how long should a police state be allowed to stamp people into the ground? I propose NEVER!

So, you believe people may THINK anything, but may not SPEAK their opinion? Rather un-American of you, to spit on the First Amendment, as you speak what you think.

Rosenthal has fallen into the logical fallacy of ad hominem, meaning "against the person." He hates the quote purely because he doesn't like this person's name ... which is blatant racism.

I'm not sure how to rate this crypto-totalitarian verbal judo.

How sad the U.S. is falling into this same pattern of spying on your family and neighbors.

These police forces exist in the form of the CIA, FBI, NSA, IRS, Secret Service, state and local police, and other unconstitutional agencies. If we don't take a stand now, we are doomed.

That's it Rosenthal, keep believing our country is free ... and 2+2=5.

Rosenthal, Archer is on target.

Hundreds of thousands of steps beyond the boundaries of the Constitution have been taken. Our government is the greatest joke in the world. We spew the words of freedom from our mouths, as we beat people and governments into submission.

The United States is no longer free. Our own government has taken control and restricts everything we do. Even something as simple as owning and carrying arms. I can't own a machinegun, a sawed-off shotgun, a switchblade, or grenades ... even if I wanted to.

Government agents don't care about the Fourth Amendment.

I fear the arming of the police and military, while disarming the people. It is unconstitutional.

Our government is wrong more than 85% of the time!

Reston. For this quote you approve of dissidence, and on other quotes you approve of laws to control dissidence. "Contradictions cannot exist." Your premises are flawed.

But control is what the government is there for.
