This is about the worst thing that has happened to our country in years. And 1% of citizens are even aware of it. There is not a single criminal act committed that does not thrive on secrecy. And the SCOTUS has ruled basically that the President can claim "security reasons" and get away with anything. Totally dumbfounded that the Judicial Branch would cede that much power to the Executive.
As always Glenn Greenwald is a expert in these matters.
People are too willing to give up freedom for the perception of a little security.
There's no more offensive party to this than the democrats and specifically liberal democrats. They're simply the dumbest people superimposed on this planet.

Wrong. The article is basing the possibility on tyranny on all the socieconomics issues of today. Where in history does tyranny gain control? When there is a great polarization of wealth. The quickest way to socialism will be when too few have too much.

We had a FISA renewal vote not but one week ago and 2 GOP libertarians and 21 Democratic liberals were the only ones willing to stand up to Obama and refused to vote for it. 3 amendments were also defeated that added some small degree of accountability to this unconstitutional law. Additionally, the OP to his credit, despite being a conservative, linked to two SCOTUS judges from the left telling us how dangerous these recent rulings have been. Rulings held up by right wing SCOTUS judges. He held to his principles over his party. It's so rare in this forum to find that.
Something you have never experienced.

The more free an economy is the less likely you have too few with too much.
If Congress keeps passing all these anti-economic freedom laws then the rich get richer at the expense of the middle-class.
Democrats are much more likel to restrict econmic freedom than anyone else.

Why? When has that ever occurred? In a free economy business will higher the cheapest labor. Even if that mean importing it. In a true free economy their would be no such thing as illegal aliens. They would simply be contract laborers. The only counter to that would be unions. Unions did not develop in a vacuum. They sprang from a system where most wealth went to a few.

Well that would be a complete failure of understanding what happens in revolutions.
Revolutions are not based on reality. They're based on stupidity that someone else caused all their ills and caused the majority to hand over their money without something gained in return.
That's not the case at all in America. The retarded in America handed over whatever they had willingly and without contention hand over fists.
There can be arguemsnt that they were completely disarmed through the school system but that simply falls back to the nationalization of the school system in the 70's.
If you watched the clip you'd connect the dots.
