131. Do you have any idea how inaccurate the so called terrorist watch list is?

Sat Jul 14, 2012, 08:45 AM

Jul 2012

Ted Kennedy was on that watchlist.
Oh I get it I get it, you support the Patriot Act. You don't give a shit about due process do you?
Once your on that list, you have no recourse to prove that you don't belong, hell you don't even know your on the list until you try to board a plane, as in Kennedy's case, or try to buy a firearm, to name a couple of ways to find out.

You are making this far too easy.
Tell you what, why don't you pettition the govt to have the NRA added to the unconstitutional terror watchlist and see how far you get.

On edit: did you even read what you linked to? Are you even aware that every civil rights org. opposes the watch list?
So you support shit like the terror watch list?
If so, your in the wrong place, FR is down the street and to the Right.
