The vast majority of the 15 9/11 Hijackers were on a list of known terrorist associates when they entered the U.S. The System that is being implimented should prevent the same oversights that allowed those people to enter the U.S.
"We need as big and powerful of a government as possible. Higher taxes, more police, more spyware, more surveillance. Thats the whole goal the republican party isnt it? Well Mission Accomplished. Next time I'm voting Libertarian (Ex-Republican)"
Actualy it is the Democratic party that typicaly pursues Larger Gov't and Higher taxes. Although Bush has increased the size of the gov't with homeland Security and the recent Medicare Bill, these types of measures are not typical of the Republican party. In general Republicans favor reducing the size of the gov't and decreasing taxes. Giving increased power to Law enforcement is also a typical Republican party theme.
Hopefully you will learn the basic planks of the libertarian party before you become an ex-libertarian ; ).
