It’s Official: A Majority Of Americans Would Give Up Liberty In Order To Be Safe From Terrorism



It is now official. A majority of Americans are willing to give up liberty in order to be safer from terrorism. A stunning new McClatchy-Ipsos poll has found that 51 percent of Americans agree with this statement: ”it is necessary to give up some civil liberties in order to make the country safe from terrorism.”

Only 36 percent of those polled agreed with this statement: “some of the government’s proposals will go too far in restricting the public’s civil liberties.”

So are Americans really this stupid?

Have they really been brainwashed into willingly giving up their essential liberties just so they can feel a little safer?

Maybe they have.'

  2. Its offical most are just stupid like everywhere else, yes thats offical but as for these pollsters and their polls?
    Never in my 52 years nor anyone of the many l've asked over the years has ever been polled or surveyed with general public opinion questions on matters of interest or even TV ratings polling, never.

    Our home phone has been selected randomly many times as many other households in Australia by nuisance overseas telemarketing calls from India but never by pollsters in Australia, funny that.

    The only time l did engage in a survey or poll by phone was on....
    "what brands of dry buscuits do l eat or buy"
    which went on for about 10 minutes.

    But l'm expected to believe or trust these figures from pollsters when it comes to matters of interest to the public.
    Who the F#**! are polled? ain't us who look at the results of the bulldust.
