Unless you are a criminal or maybe a foreign agent, how does government searching your house whenever it wants affect your life?
If you have nothing to hide then I am sure you would let them in without a warrant, right?
Only if they bummed me a cigarette first. Then, sure. The most interesting thing they would find is my exquisite collection of erotic art. Not a whole lot else.
people like you are the problem. you assume the government is begin and is acting in your best interest. every freedom and right you give up now for "security" against the latest boogieman is one that will never come back. Then once you are comfortable with these, more will go away.
I hope you do not claim to support the Constitution.
I'm assuming the government will find me as uninteresting as everyone else does. It's been working out great so far.
You seem like one of those people who doesn't yet realize that the U.S. government has complete and utter control (if they choose to seize it) simply because they have the world's most powerful military at their disposal. Even if there were no Patriot Act, they could change the rules in a single day, for no reason at all. Might still makes right; we just like to dress it up first. But at the end of the day, Patriot Act or no, we are at the mercy of the man with the gun, regardless of our personal wishes.
having been a part of the world's most powerful military for 20 years, I feel confident that the majority of them would not turn on the American people when given an unlawful order to do so. We take an oath to defend the Constitution, against all enemies.
Isn't that a bit naive? Oh well ... I won't hold it against you.
no, it really is not. It is a bit ignorant to think that those in the military are mindless sheep that will act like robots. One of the first things we are taught in boot camp is not to follow unlawful orders.
