Your right, we don't need those things.
We will just change the initials of the country from USA to CCCP.
Don't forget to get in line for your transponder ID chip.
That way they can tell exactly where you are at all times.

Do we "need" them? Surely, you jest. What is the point of your question?
Obviously, there are a lot of people that would trade any liberty or right for the sense of a little false security. That's both sad and scary.
Well, be careful what you say, email, or postal mail, lest the NSA or Homeland boys come a-knockin' on your door.
There's a lot of young folks participating in this Politics forum that know absolutely nothing about men like J. Edgar Hoover or Joe McCarthy.
Politicians and legislators abuse power constantly and in many ways.
These are scary times we live in, and I'm not referring to terrorists.

Yes we need them. That's why the President is doing so much to protect them, even in the face of the necessity to tap communications from suspected enemies.
Trust the government? No thanks, I'll prefer to maintain a vigilance upon government and limit its ability to control me. Unfortunately, a lot of people think that government should control my health care and retirement, they think government should dictate the wages and benefits in a private contract between employee and employer, they think government should dictate if I can smoke in my private place of business, etc.
People who trust government to control my life like that are stealing the freedoms and rights and liberties that were my birthright.

Privacy rights?
I'm curious where privacy is mentioned in the Bill of Rights or the Constitution for that matter.
Civil Liberties... You haven't lost any civil liberties yet.
Trust the government.. It is alright to question the government. It is not alright to purposely undermine the government.

Yes, trust the government; just ask an Indian.

According to Britney Spears we should just trust the government. But I'm questioning her judgment some these days...

We have lost a lot of our rights under the current president!
Lets keep in mind that the reason for the right to bear arms is that you are not supposed to trust your government!
Jefferson stated that a true patriot is the man who questions his government!

One of the most basic principles of our government is that no branch can trust another, and the people cannot trust any of them. That way, no one branch can consolidate power(in theory) and the people are more vigilant and readily critical of our leaders' actions- Checks and Balances!
