The American people do not want constitutional protection. They want to live in a police state. That's why, in election after election, they cast their ballots for the law-and-order candidate. The one who will direct the police to deny the civil rights of everyone who is 'different'.
"If you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear."
Look. The ACLU sets up a booth at the mall to hand out cards explaining your rights if you are confronted by a police officer. Why doesn't your local police department set up a booth to hand out those cards? Why don't your police, whose mandate is to protect and serve you, inform you of your rights? If the police are doing nothing wrong, what do they have to fear?
The police are required to inform you of your Miranda rights in case of arrest. Beyond that, it's not their job to teach social studies to the public.
Which candidates suggest we should "direct the police to deny the civil rights of everyone who is "different?" By the way, police are under the jurisdiction of the local government.
freedom from murder, poverty, and stupid over taxation are more important to me.
sounds like unless I am a terrorist bent on taking out a couple thousand Americans I should be fine!

Do you trust the gvmt?
If your a Rep do you trust the Dem's when they are in charge, if Dem do you trust Rep's when they are in charge?
You never want the GVMT to have that type of power under the umbrella of for "our own safety" countries have gone from free to dictatorship's fairly fast .

Funny the un-patriot act backers trust the gubmint to keep them safe when Congress has approval ratings near single digits?

They already do, but thankfully our founding fathers were a step ahead of you. That's why we have checks and balances.

Executive orders, line item vetos, a central bank (which founding fathers were strongly against BTW), an income tax (another thing those founding fathers didn't like), and others put a quick stop to those pesky checks and balances that make it difficult for a small clique (or one man) to get things done.
The "checks and balances" are slowly being removed in favor of "our safety". This is so the government can act faster to protect us.
But that's a good thing, right?
Funny how people seem to gloss over Ben Franklin's ubiquitous quote. Guess he was just an old fogey who didn't know what it's like in modern America. Funny how liberal warmongering neo-cons like to spout off about founding fathers when it suits them then ignore some words of wisdom as reactionary and outdated.

Bunch of tools.
I agree I find it unreal how those that consider themselves patriots have no problem with these secret list's .
Group's like Vets for Peace and Code Pink NON Violent groups are all on the list .
In time those who support these list's will wind up on them also if thing's continue as is.
