I don’t think you “get” it. Perhaps you think The “Patriot Act”, “Homeland Security” and the TSA were good dieas.
Perhaps.
On the other hand, consider this example.
An undercover cop tells a bunch of OWS protesters , "let's grab some little girls, take them into a tent, and rape them." The protesters do so.
Are the protesters NOT TO BLAME for their own actions, for their own personal choices ? If I tell you to jump off a bridge because everyone else is doing it, who's fault is it if YOU DO ?
Perhaps you think The “Patriot Act”, “Homeland Security” and the TSA were good dieas.
Good 'ideas' they were, executed poorly and used to line the pockets of criminals they are.
Had the 'protesters' in this case been building IEDs instead, would you have the same objections ?
