I was alive and experienced it. The patriot act signed away many of our freedoms that we will never get back. The whole FBI switched to counter terrorism from organized crime when 9/11 happened so that’s a big reason as well that it never happened again. The patriot act does not protect us any more than banning free press protects citizens. You are one of the first people on the right that I’ve seen actually defend the unconstitutional patriot act lol

Ok which ones did not happen because people protested in favor of it? What was the cause of the change happening then?

Big supporter of the patriot act i see

That is true. Life was hard before the unions protested for workers rights and 40 hour work week. Life for African Americans was pretty hard before many people started protesting for the civil rights movement. Same with people protesting for same sex marriage, interracial marriage, women’s rights, but i get your point besides those few examples. protesting apparently never leads to change

Can’t they get that info from any Israeli camera? What about all the people with cell phones? Those can give strategic information really quick to hamas should Israel take away phones and cameras from anyone in Israel as well?

Refute any one of these points. Is there any that are not true?

The right says all they care about is freedom and small government- takes away child labor laws the right says they care about students protesting at campus but have no problem with Jan 6. the right says people should have autonomy to their medical choices and body, but not women the right complains about immigrants who receive aid but vote against anything that will help the U.S. citizen The right says they care about the hungry and poor but block federal money that gives kids school lunches The right can not govern in the interest of anyone but it’s donors

“ hey everyone let’s all be outraged over the southern border the dumb protesters don’t even know what’s happening down there!” ionel *points out Trump told repubs to vote no on Border bill “Oh shit that that’s true so I’ll ignore it”-ionel

So what aspect of national security is at risk with AJ operating from Israel?

Ok Israel is at war. Is Al Jazeera a product of Hamas? Banning free press for no reason ins’t the slam dunk you think it is. They can not even justify why they are banning AJ

It’s hard to miss when the right complains about it all day everyday but won’t pass legislation that WILL impact the southern border because Trump wants to run on it.

One of the core principals of fascism is they portray their enemies as both dumb and smart, both strong and weak. Kinda sounds a lot like the rhetoric you and others use towards the protestors lol

So the protestors are too dumb to point out Israel on a map but supposedly they have been training and organizing for months? Is that the narrative for now?

Accusations of security risks the day Qatar is finalizing brokering a cease fire, real coincidence. The fact is they can’t even substantiate any security risks that AJ brings. the patriot act pass due to “security risks” and it’s still a violation of our rights

So just because there might be a bias a government has the right to ban the press/news source? What’s the word people call governments like that? Authoritarian?

Israel just shut down operations of Al Jazeera. Shutting down free press isn’t totally something a country trying to cover things up and hide their actions do

The Fox News article gives no details at all about how and where these students were trained months before hand. It actually only mentions Columbia as the only campus by name, so was Columbia the only group that received this “training?” Direct from the article: “While the "hard evidence to prove this is still fuzzy," Even faux news is admitting there isn’t really proof that these protesters are a huge organized months long effort lol

Wall Street journal is the only Main Street news reporting on it, the other websites are places such as The Times of Israel and a The Jerusalem Post which I’m sure do not contain any bias. A quote is “we took notes from our elders, engaged in dialogue with them, and analyzed how the university responds to previous protests.” That doesn’t seem like nefarious grooming or planning to commit terror acts but rather people just organizing and learning from past protests. I’m sure protesters during the civil rights movement had similar tactics but would you say they were groomed?

Do you have a source for this? That is really interesting if true

Touring Hamilton show coming to Tempe me and the Mrs got tickets too will be my first play

Cool so now we are on the same page. You think it’s fine to call people you disagree with ***I am an idiot and can't use a better adjective***s and that just shows the type of person you are I’m glad we have great moral values coming from the right

So what was intention with calling me a libtard? Were you saying I’m late? Or were you just adding lib to ***I am an idiot and can't use a better adjective***?

No i don’t use derogatory terms for groups of people to insult people i don’t agree with unlike you

When your world view is so small you can’t comprehend there is more than one person with a set of ideals lol

So someone calling a black person the N word is the same as someone calling you a moron since name calling is name calling?
