Liberal mayor exposes true feelings

A network of private and public surveillance cameras, license plate readers and weapons sensors already established in Lower Manhattan as an electronic bulwark against terrorist attacks will soon expand to a large patch of Midtown Manhattan, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said Sunday as they announced the allocation of $24 million in Homeland Security grants toward the effort.

The plan devised to protect downtown Manhattan, known as the Lower Manhattan Security Initiative, was introduced by Mr. Kelly in 2005. That raised concern among civil liberties groups, which have called for more public discussion as the police peer, with greater intensity, at more corners of the city.

Asked Sunday about criticism of the increased surveillance, Mr. Bloomberg said: “We live in a world where we have to have a balance. We can’t just say everybody can go everyplace and do anything they want.” More here:

Noooo. We can't have that? The founding fathers wouldn't have wanted that.

So they want to let everyone with a "hate America" attitude to come to the United States, right? But once they get here, THEN they can't go anywhere and do anything they want, right? Have I got that about right? In other words, forget protecting the borders, let's just let everyone come here THEN worry about them. Tricky ... very tricky. I see the genius in your moves now.
