“It’s a damned shame that we give up our rights and freedom so easily just because of a lousy recession.”
Isn’t that what the dems said about the Iraq War?”
The government’s number one job is to defend the citizens militarily. Compromising our normal freedoms during wartime is often required. There is, however, no justification for elected officials to behave likewise while we endure rough financial times. This is what distinguishes our constitutional republic from a fascist dictatorship. The latter always seeks any excuse to deprive the citizenry of its liberties.
