Re: NYPD using agent provocateurs to incite extremism
Our freedom means the freedom of the general public.
Freedom of privacy, freedom of association, freedom of expression, freedom of thought are all being attacked. You cannot even go to a mosque to pray without knowing whether there are agents spying on you. Civil liberties of the public are under attack. Civil rights that took us centuries to acquire are being taken away from us. Nearly all muslims are not terrorists yet terrorism is being used as an excuse to attack their liberties. This is the equivalent of using a sledge hammer to open a walnut.
WOT is the consequence of resentment against the US foreign policy. If you attack the US foreign policy then you are painted as a terrorist or a terrorist sympathiser, and as a result you have no rights.
Perhaps you can enlighten me as to what McCarthuryism is? I will wait for your definition.
