I think you missed his point. I want to see terrorism quelled around the globe as much as anyone, but this is one issue in which I'm with the left. Are we to simply trust that our government will not use personal information gathered through the Patriot Act for illegal means?
You'll also notice that it's "the left" that is also notorious for concocting long-winded conspiracy theories non-stop (my favorite being Hillary's "vast right-wing conspiracy" theory). And what, might I ask, makes you so important as to think that Uncle Sam would actually want to waste time, money and resources just to make your life a living hell? Seems like a lot of people that get all uptight about online "privacy" (doesn't exist -- any hacker can install a packet listener on any network, as long as they have access to at least one compromised machine on the subnet) have serious cases of narcissism. |
