The majority of Americans have chosen security over privacy because Bush and Cheney scared the pants off em.

While “The Gulag Archipelago” was the blueprint for how a police state apparatus gets emplaced and starts working.

Well, I have absolutely nothing to hide, so I personally don’t care if the government watches me 24/7. The shower? If they can stomach it, go ahead.

Well, if you have nothing to hide, don’t care about your freedoms and would like to be watched 24/7, why don’t you go to prison? You won’t have to worry about evil terrorists there. (I won’t mention what goes on in the showers, though.)
Personally, I’ll keep my freedoms and take my chances.

“I have nothing to hide, so I don’t care.”
When someone else decides what’s “wrong”, you can never be sure you will be considered harmless, certainly not for the rest of your life. Good luck with that ostrich imitation.

I feel about the same way. What most do not understand is the Ocean of data that is collected, then it is filtered filtered filtered to find a cup of water. Now if they were to use this cup of water against me in any way they must show me where and how they got the information. I have the right to face my accuser. I have a right of discovery.
The big risk is when the government turns over the information it has (IRS documents) and gives them to your political opponents (Obama’s reelection campaign) or to a liberal lame stream media. In that case a person has not much recourse and is subjected to the smear machine.
Hey Obama while you are looking in the computer see if you can find the illegal Email accounts your appointees keep to break the transparency laws.

Not a bad analogy, flawed, in that they would have to find you 1st, then let you know they are watching and restrict you from almost everything so they can watch you. But then again I don’t know how regular I would be if my toilet had a direct feed to the warden.

Do you blame Bush when you (insert anything you don’t like)? Typical Gimmie, nothing is ever your fault and there is always someone else to blame.

I bet this cartoon spiked the paranoia that so many feel!
