Kerry's Record On Electronic And Civil Rights
An anonymous reader writes "John Kerry lambastes John Ashcroft and the Patriot Act, positioning himself as a crusader for civil liberties. The question is, how much substance is there to his rhetoric? This article was an eye-opener to me, in evaluating just that. Slashdotters tending to be passionate about the Patriot Act, encryption, and electronic monitoring - subjects this article tackles with respect to Kerry."
Face it, in this election, *nobody* is voting for anybody. Watch the ads, listen to the speeches, talk to the people around you, and you will see that everyone is planning to vote for what they perceive to be the lesser evil.
Again, nobody is voting for anything, we are all voting against something else.
Following this logic, a vote for Nader/Badnarik/Cobb/etc. is a against both Bush and Kerry. Not a wasted vote at all in my book!
I am not your blowing wind, I am the lightning.
Mentaly ill people are already banned from owning firearms, you stupid fucking ass.
John Hinckley bought his gun legally. So did Mark David Chapman. If you would stop ass-raping young boys long enough to read something, you'd know that. This may also come as a shock, but a sane person can buy a gun and then go insane later.
You Talk about DC getting representation, but you dont care they lost firearms rights.
You lying, child molesting, asswipe. I wrote that I thought it unreasonable that they lost firearm ownership rights AND that I thought that they should have representation in Congress.
You dont have to living in fucking DC, you fucking moron, you choose to live there.
I don't live there and never have, you pedophilic, illiterate piece of shit. Besides, why is "move out of DC" the answer when a DC resident wants Congressional representation but not the answer when a DC resident wants to own a gun?
I could kill more people with a semi hunting rifle with many spare magazines than an AK with a 75 round drum.
That shows how little you know about guns. An AK-47 has a firing rate in FA of 600 rounds per minute. That means that 75 shots could be sprayed into a crowd in about 8 seconds in a drive-by. Try that with a semi-auto hunting rifle and the crowd would have run for cover before you ever get the second clip in place.
but you chronicled and confessed your treason and sedition
No, I never "confessed" to treason or sedition. You accused me of it and then were too much of a pussy to back up that claim by alerting the authorities (who would have probably ended up hauling you away in a straight-jacket).
