Who needs freedom when you can have complete safety from the terrorists? Yep, it's to a point where this government has become more of a threat to my rights and so-called freedom than the terrorists.
In this instance, the overbearingly obvious fact that the government is suppressing, and trying to suppress further, constitutional rights (speech, petition, search/seizure, right to fair trial, etc.) of U.S. citizens without an actual invasion or rebellion taking place should have been just cause for impeachment of nearly the entire executive branch.
You can't shoot a person, then legalize it afterwards. So, let's see. President lies about spy program, President then confesses to program but says it's within the restrictions of the law (which it isn't), then, in all but an admission to everything people accused him of (and court found him doing illegal), he tries to get Congress to legalize everything he's done, bypassing all measures that are supposed to protect people's rights.
Smart government, or stupid people. It would be too easy to say both, but if people weren't so stupid, gullible, and scared, I think this government would've be out on it's ass long ago. |
