Thread Name: BS: Kiss Your Civil Liberties Goodbye
Subject: RE: BS: Kiss Your Civil Liberties Goodbye
What I see being repeated here over and over by you lobotomized libertarians, is that so long as the government takes care of you and yours, you could give a shit what happens to anybody else.

Until "anybody else" becomes you or someone you know.

I'm sure all of you believe there is no danger of that happening to you, because you don't associate with "terrorists".

Therefore, as your pretzel logic goes, you have nothing to fear from the fascist tactics adopted by your government to police immigrants and political dissidents.

Political dissidents like Pete Seeger and Ronnie Gilbert. Or Dick Gaughan. Or Joan Baez.

No--I know none of you travel in circles with people who are associated with the likes of those terrorists.

Or had folk musicians who might be associated with them stay in your homes, or in the homes of your friends.

Or supported any of those folk musicians with your hard earned cash.

No--none of you lobotomized libertarians are in any danger there.

You motherfuckers just better keep your prayer chains going that the government doesn't decide to go after any of the "terrorist" folk you've all been associating yourselves with, supporting financially, befriending, etc on their lists, or maybe the FBI will be coming to visit YOU in the not too distant future.

Without your knowledge, of course.

And you, left with all your civil liberties and no court to defend them in.
