We’ve all heard the rhetoric from the current regime about freedom not being free. The substance of that is true, however, I think that catch phrase should relate more to sacrificing ones blood, not one’s ideals or basic rights.
When did domestic spying and being jailed without charges become ok?
For those who say “If you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to be afraid of”, that is just sympathetic apathy for a populous that has become so complacent with a “Big Brother” government that we ignore the rights of others just so we can get on with our daily routines.
Does anyone truly believe that innocent people aren’t jailed and or tortured every day in the United States? Is THAT the price to pay for freedom? I thought the basic premise of the judicial system in our democracy was that everyone is innocent until PROVEN guilty under due process of the law. When we circumvent that, we move closer to a totalitarian form of government and further away from democracy.
