To everyone who wanted us to throw out our Constitution to imprison innocent Americans...

I hope that since this tragedy is now starting to draw to a close that you can step back and consider your statements.

If we cannot maintain respect for our rights under the direst of circumstances, then they were never rights in the first place. They were suggestions. And the fact that you were willing to throw those rights away for those you do not like is disturbing.

1. whose rights were thrown away? nt

[Gravitycollapse]

2. We had people suggesting that we illegally raid and imprison members of the radical right.

3. Not aware of any DU'ers who want to imprison innocent Americans

[Gravitycollapse]

4. There were several threads advocating such things. At least one was deleted by the OP.

5. Oh for crying out loud.

Foxx noise rhetoric. Stop sipping the koolaide. Read more DU and become enlightened.

[Gravitycollapse]

8. Yep, because being against illegal raids and arrests is "sipping the koolaide."

9. Can you link to a post that calls for illegal raids and arrests?

[Gravitycollapse]

11. It was deleted. But here...

7. The contrary brought us the patriot act, and warantless wiretapping. N/T

10. Um, no one here wanted that...

unless they were a-trollin' from Freeperville. I've been on DU for over a decade, and the people here, for the most part, are true-blue Constitution-loving Americans (not distorters of The Constitution like the NRA). If you've seen any such thing, it is from a vast minority here.

12. How about an active member from 2002?
