[quote=@whizzball1] I feel like it's totally warranted, especially considering how far ISIS and other radical Muslim threats are getting. Now you might cite "He who trades a little Liberty for more Security deserves neither Liberty nor Security," but I consider that it doesn't encroach upon my liberty at all. [/quote] There wouldn't be any Muslim threats if we didn't occupy Muslim countries. That's our fault. [quote=@Etcetera] I'm sorry; as much I support privacy and respect of rights, I am in favor of the PATRIOT Act. I'd rather few individual liberties be lost than lives in another catastrophe; I support the NSA's actions. [/quote] Instead of putting troops in countries across the world where they aren't needed, we should put them in places where they will actually, genuinely be fighting for our freedom. The fact we send troops over to those underdeveloped nations every time we smell hint of the slightest possibility of a threat, we rain down upon them like we own them.
