It's really not a cheap shot there bub... On the very day of 9/11, reporters were already asking what rights would we be willing to give up in order to feel safe? My answer? None. Not a single one. If the agencies that we had in place at the time had done their jobs, the trade center buildings would never have been hit.
Home land security.... you know, Germany had one of those once.. it was called the SS. Back during the cold war before the Berlin wall fell, the East German secret police were regarded as the most notorious in the world, even above the KGB, for gathering data on it's citizens. Seems like we have an agency that is following suit.
What was once illegal wire tapping is now, according to the president, legal and justifiable. Why? Because he said so. Our elected ruling body cannot even get details on the extent that survailence has been taking place. And he took an oath to uphold the constitution?
So now I ask you, what kind of country are we living in? People here have been saying "1984", and I personally believe that is the way that we are heading. Back during the second world war, a lot of good people died so that we could live in a free country. Free from opression, free to choose our own leaders, free to live our lives under the constitution. This is being taken away from us daily. We live in a country where big business dictates how we live. It dictates government policy. It obviously dictates the flow of information to the American people.
Our country is going down a socialistic crap hole, and until the American people stand up and say "ENOUGH!!" it will continue it's downward spiral.
