Terror Profiteer Giuliani Sales Pitch: "U.S. in Peril without Patriot Act"
Giuliani: U.S. in Peril without Patriot Act
NewsMax ^ | 12/18/05 | NewsMax




Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani has come out swinging against the Democratic-led filibuster that prevented a reauthorization vote on the USA Patriot Act.

In an op-ed column in the New York Times, Giuliani said the Senate action "represents a grave potential threat to the nation's security. ... Americans must use every legal and constitutional tool in their arsenal to fight terrorism and protect their lives and liberties.

"The attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, made clear that the old rules no longer work. The terrorists who attacked us seek to kill innocent men, women and children of all races and creeds. They seek to destroy our liberties. They willingly kill themselves in their effort to bring death and suffering to as many innocents as they can, here in this country or anywhere in the world where freedom has a foothold."

1. FEAR
Exploiting fear once again. Oldest trick in the book to control the sheep.

3. Well sane heads better be on terra alert
Giuliani said the Senate action "represents a grave potential threat to the nation's security. ... Americans must use every legal and constitutional tool in their arsenal to fight terrorism and protect their lives and liberties.

So did he say what is legal and constitutional and what is not???

4. Why do they never admit that America's foreign policy
puts us in more peril than getting rid of the Patriot Act? I'm so sick of them not seeing the forest for the trees....assholes. He's an ego bloated asshole.

6. "of all races and creeds"
Mainly the elites of this nation have learned that they too can become targets of death. Duty to protect God and Country is no longer restricted to only the conscripted and the poor.

IMHO

7. I wish the would-be presidential aspirants
would get a fresher approach. The old moldy scare'em to death line has gotten old. It has finally (I hope) stopped Bush from trying to make us afraid. They give us no credit for having any sense. Maybe, because they don't they think we have enough sense to know what is going on. John McCain is another example. He stuttered, feinted, and mumbled his way through the Sunday program without saying a word that made sense.
