So much for innocent until proven guilty. So much for limited government. What Americans are now facing is quite literally the end of the line. We will either uphold the freedoms baked into our Constitutional Republic, or we will scrap the entire project in the name of security as we wage, endlessly, this futile, costly, and ultimately self-defeating War on Terror.
So if I wasn't paying attention I would have thought that this sort of thing would be sorted out in the last 10 years.. with all of the liberals and conservatives duking it out about their nit-picky little slogans like "civil liberties" and "national security".. but I'm guessing that most people that don't really seem to care about these things are less apathetic and more just along the lines of "Well I'M not doing anything wrong so who cares?"
As for me.. well I'm too busy feeding my wonderful nations economy with Xmas shopping and playing my Xbox to really pay attention; SO if someone could care to take a look at whats going on and let me know if I should care or not; I'd appreciate it.
After all; I'd hate to have my Netflix watching interrupted by having to worry about where our poor government is going to put all of those unpatriotic dissenters out there...
Sure sure; I know that grassroots
It just makes me glad to know that my country can properly prepare itself for SOMETHING correctly.
YES; we can all breath a great sigh of relief to know that this is all just in time to round up all those dirty hippies that have been trying so hard to disturb my little peaceful bliss bubble of serene lethargy
Then again; not a lot of this stuff is on the REAL news networks like CNN and FOX.. so most of this is probably a bunch of lies perpetuated by a bunch of bored panic mongering psychos out there...
Nothing to worry about.. as long as I can keep filling my gas tank and playing my Call of Duty; I'm sure everything's going to be A-OK
Keep on truckin' America!
