you can't even imagine how many times I was told "If you don't do anything wrong, this law won't affect you" or "They can look all they want, I've got nothing to hide" ... one of the most hilarious replies I got on the nsa wiretapping was
of course the hard righties thought it was OK to be all 'European' during the Bush years...Now, it's the insult du jour saying that Obama want us to be more like 'Europe'.. hell, the tea party formed in part to stop him from committing this Fox-induced fantasy... ah, the irony..
by the way, the lil libertarian who started this thread has no problems with the Pat Act or any other 'tool' a president wants to use on the GWOT... so don't fall prey to his 'instigation' games..
Just to be clear, the post you quoted wasn't written by me. Since you seemed to refer to me in this post (lil libertarian) I just wanted to make that clear since you didn't.
Since when did libertarian become a dirty word for liberals? I guess it's all part of the process of slowly realizing that state power is more important to you than individual liberty.
But I did go back and read that thread and it was a very good interesting thread. What have we learned since that time? You totally lost interest in "warrantless wiretaps" since January 2009!
And here is a bit of interesting prophesy from me in that very thread:
And if the next Democratic President breaks some kind of law, and I bring it up on the board, how will you respond?
Interesting times ahead...
