Dems Don’t Want Civilians To Report Terrorists

It may sound horrible and overly cynical to suggest that one party may actually have other interests in mind besides protecting our own country, but I’m not sure what else one can conclude from this behavior.
The Washington Times reports:
Congressional Democrats today failed to include a provision in homeland security legislation that would protect the public from being sued for reporting suspicious behavior that may lead to a terrorist attack, according to House Republican leaders.
Considering what terrorists have done in the past, such a provision is equivalent to a Good Samaritan law. Is someone’s offense worth the lives of the people around that person should that person engage in behavior consistent with others who have harmed a lot of people? I think it is. Especially when boarding vehicles that have been turned into killer projectiles, we Americans are owed a little more sympathy than people who don’t adopt behavior different from terrorists.

The issue is people who believe we are at greater danger from our government than we are from the terrorists.
The irony is that those who strive to protect us from the intrusive regulations of government are doing so by implementing other types of legislative controls.
So, the question to us voters is, whose oppressive government controls do we see as more or less beneficial?

I see some irony in one other item that was reported: “[The Dems] scuttled this amendment in committee in a way that makes them difficult to track down individually.” Apparently a bunch of John Doe’s scuttled the John Doe amendment.

Oops. Should have been “John Does.” I used a grocer’s apostrophe above.
