Also, while Bush was in office, if one were to express reservations about such a thing, around here and in other places, they would have been tarred/feathered and labeled as being something between a liberal and terrorist sympathizer. Folks need to be a little less 'selective' in their defense of liberty, and not have so much of the 'it's ok when our guy does it' attitude. When things like this were going on back then, I recall many on our side warning supporters of such tactics that some day, that power could be turned against THEM.
I agree it IS quite telling with all the silence from the media and the rest of the leftward hypocrites. The so called "ACLU" doesn't seem to have much to say either.....
You are right.

Ah, but it had those warm, fuzzy blankets of comfort wrapped around them. “Patriot” Act. “Homeland”. “Security”.
So much Kinder, Gentler and more Compassionate than the average authoritarian/totalitarian state.
I guess the classics really are dead, as so few can recognize a Trojan horse anymore.
