anything is free as long as you have the power.

What happens when the next "terrorist attack" happens and the Government declares Martial Law and gives itself extraordinary powers. Will it still be the land of the free?

That obviously wasn't an analogy, it was sarcasm. It meant that we can say what if....but it doesn't matter if it doesn't happen. I do not think that martial law on the scale that ninty mentions is plausible in the United States.
