To be a good patriot/American...

To be a good patriot/American, should we be willing to give up civil liberties in a time of war? Why or why not?

To be a good patriot or American, I don't think that it is right to give up civil liberties in a time of war. Our nation was built upon the idea of these liberties and freedoms. Just because we are in a war, it doesn't mean that we should throw out everything we believe in. Every person should be able to have civil liberties and should have freedom and as much privacy as they choose.
