But don't you see? Innocent people have nothing to hide, no reason to bother themselves with goings on outside their own little bubble. Why would they need to care if they can no longer express opinions other than the government sanctioned ones? It's not like anything but the right to bear arms (even if it isn't in the defense of the nation) is really important anyway... freedom of speech and religion are for hippies and liberals.. real people agree with their president and are caucasian males of moderate or greater social status.
It's just too bad these desperate times call for neglect of domestic issues, but I suppose with all those troops overseas and commited itelligence personel, there just isn't enough manpower to take care of them. After all, no other organizations exist to take care of those problems, and they aren't exactly big numbers. What's sixteen thousand individuals with families and friends compared to a million hypothetical people, when you can only pick one. Murder or terrorism, it's a boolean choice.
