About those civil liberties

Background: The Detroit News contradicted itself by endorsing Senator John McCain for president.

According to the Detroit News, America needs a president who can answer the terrorist threat without destroying civil liberties; yet, you endorsed John McCain. McCain sponsored legislation that severely curtailed political speech during campaigns. In addition, McCain receives poor marks from the NRA for his stance on gun restrictions. McCain treads on the First and Second Amendments without even using terrorism as the reason. Imagine the destruction to be done when the terrorism card gets played.
