"Freedom Loving" Senate Takes Huge Dump on the Bill of Rights

... and uses the rest of the constitution to wipe its collective behind.

Senate Approves Bill to Broaden Wiretap Powers

Ah, ain't it great when we trade our freedoms for security? I guess not enough people in the US will 'nut up' and accept that sometimes the price of freedom is blood, even our own. I am betting that the chances of being killed by terrorists in the authoritarian regimes of the past were pretty slim, but that doesn't mean that is how I want to live. I think that the public must realize that if we choose freedom, we also choose risk. As they say 'Freedom Isn't Free', not is it safe or easy. So, grow a pair America and accept the fact that if you want to live free, bad guys will use that same freedom as cover for their evil deeds. It is the price that must be paid.
