Homeland Security violates visitors’ dignity
When is the disgrace of new US “security” measures going to end? Once the US government has completely humiliated everyone else in the world into hating and despising us? Or maybe even worse, once we’ve succeeded at building a stunningly safe, but liberty free, society? Doesn’t this smack of Nazi Germany to anyone in Washington?
Benjamin Franklin said it best:
Those that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
If you agree that the US government has gone too far in numerous areas of inspection, surveillance, and the infringement of liberties since September 2001, send your representatives and senators a very clear message that security should not be politicized. And by all means, help vote Bush out of office this November.
