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

Please look up the meaning of ‘twin’ in a good dictionary.

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.

@Ms. Ima
The info is there for both sides….In truth, i doubt if one side is any more informed than the other….so, Ima, what you write is a conservative lie, the the usual slurs and insults….
Conservatives seem to fear and disrespect views opposed to theirs…
Who is right ?
Or is anyone correct ?
Both 1984 and Atlas Shrugged I have perused thru and have found both to be very boring.
Was Ayn Rand an original libertarian ??

Probably most of this is exaggerated, spun, and "semi-falsified " by the extremists…
Dolores has nothing to worry about, he(our Pres) may know, but there is nothing he can do, nor even care to…
And if anyone here is smart enuff to have any imagination….its simply impossible to know what people are thinking and saying, and writing….
Why do conservatives live in so much fear ??

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.
