“feel so much safer knowing they are watching we the people rather than the real threats to our nation.”
You identify with armed robber dope head thugs and consider them “We the People?”
You don't see that just because they used the "secret surveillance" methods on a thug doesn't indicate that they are assuredly using similar technologies on "We the People"?
Everyone is ‘we the people’ or no one is. If the government can decide who has rights then no one does. Wake up.
