This is one of those times where I believe it to be wholly unamerican to agree with the OP's quote. Sure, we should do what we can to protect our nation and our assetts. However, that ends with the violation of our rights. If you disagree, would you have liked to lived under the 3rd Reich's Germany? That is precisely what they believed: country above all else, including the individual. I, for one, believe that the nation can't survive without the individual.
