Quote:I love you.

 

Perfect example I just had Fox News on the TV and that show Justice with Jeanine was on in her opening monologue she  starts off with there's a radical threat facing the nation to which the solution is for everyday citizens to be armed, at that point I'm like ok yes keep going, THEN she shifts into and be ready to give up some privacy she starts a whole speech about how I should accept NSA style megadata collecting and spying that some how my right to privacy should be second to some promise of security, she's an authoritarian!

 

to me the authoritarian that wants to disarm me is just as dangerous as the authoritarian that wants to monitor me. But conservatives see boogie men and default to bigger more powerful military programs which compromise individual liberty, and liberals see boogie men and default to disarming the population and more powerful legislation which compromises individual liberty.

 

We're being bombarded by authoritarians from all directions. It really is starting to feel like the options are all the same, just pick your style of authoritarian every few years.
