After 9/11, W and the GOP created and passed the patriot act and the DHS, now GOP rep King is calling for more cameras to watch over us in the name of "safety"

I see this thread is devoid of our resident "stay away from my guns you gun grabbers" but in the case of security cameras in public I am okay with. Security cameras in private areas, I am not, though I am sure my tv knows everything I am watching.

I bet if Obama or a democrat said the same thing King did, you would be saying the complete opposite

Oh man, if Obama said that, every Con on this site would be lighting this forum on fire over it. There would be some serious table flipping going on with them.

Same here, I wonder what other issue that is front and center right now could be solved quickly if we applied that same sort of logic to it... I wonder...

conservatives love big government. The debate is never about big or small government. The debate is about who government will benefit.

conservatives hate millions of their fellow citizens and see them as moochers, lazy, immoral, takers, etc who are bleeding the nation dry. conservatives want small government for those Americans.

The OP is quick to attack the GOP.

How about lemmings who get their talking points from their favorite mind-numbing networks. When it comes to limiting freedoms and civil liberties, both parties are responsible.

We could always do what Obama claims to have the authority to do, which is just send a bunch of drones in and kill everyone..
