The price of freedom is eternal vigilance
When Thomas Jefferson said, "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." he meant vigilance over our own government, not foreign governments.
No foreign government can remove your freedoms as an American citizen, only your own government can do that.
George W. Bush would have you believe that terrorists want to attack our freedom. The truth is that terrorists cannot harm our freedom, but our current Republican controlled government can, and has.
The fourth and sixth amendments are no longer worth the ink used to print them. If you do not recall, those amendments guaranteed your rights against unreasonable search and seizure as well as your right to be informed of any charges brought against you. You no longer have those rights.
This government has proposed, in the Republican party platform, to basically repeal the fourteenth amendment... the one that grants equal protection under the law. One of the two new amendments have been proposed in the 2004 Republican party platform, directly contradicts the 14th amendment.
