NY Times, Seizing on Fear, Pushes Civil Rights Restrictions
New York Time Using Fear to Clamp Down on Freedom
Does the New York Times really crave a society in which the federal government can restrict the Constitutional rights of citizens who have committed no crimes?
In the wake of the attempted Times Square bombing, the New York Times editorial board this week (5/6) lambasted the National Rifle Association and Congress for opposing further restrictions on the civil rights of U.S. citizens.
The Times wants Congress to deny a citizen his Constitutional rights if the government suspects that the citizen has the potential to commit future illegal actions. In other words, if the government puts you on a so-called ‘watch list’, you can’t exercise your unalienable, natural, God-given right to keep and bear arms.
