YOU'RE BEING WATCHED

[Donovan]

What's funny and terrifying all at the same time is the number of idiots here who think that when such a time comes, they will be the ones to decide whether or not they are "law-abiding citizens with nothing to hide." That presupposes a government will abide by all the other rules of law and only ignore this one.

So you're saying that the U.S. Constitution and the checks and balances contained therein are flawed?

Of course they are, and sometimes deliberately so. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights were designed as living documents whose sole purpose was to protect us and our descendants from tyrannical leaders trying to usurp and keep power BY STRIPPING AWAY OUR LIBERTIES. Read a fucking book why dontcha? Start with the actual documents you're trying to dismiss, then move on the Federalist Papers
Then perhaps the works of John Stewart Mill
or
Thomas Paine

All of these men are smarter than you and had plenty to say on the subject of individual liberty in the face of oppressive government intrusion. Please go and do this before you speak again.

All you people with the tinfoil hats on, that are waiting for the US to turn into the next Nazi Germany because our govt is infringing on our rights, what do you folks think we all should do?

I for one have many more important things going on in my life than worrying about our govt turning on its people.

I honestly think you're just searching for troll bait, and that's cool.

There is nothing more important in your life than fighting to preserve the country you are so proud of. If I may, and especially since I know both you and username are far too vapid and lazy to click my links:

“These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value.”


― Thomas Paine, The Crisis
