Isn’t a patriot someone who is willing to die for their freedom? When did patriot start to mean so afraid that they’ll give their government any power to feel a little bit safer? I’d rather be afraid of terrorists than my own government. I’ve never met a terrorist, but I’ve broken the law before. I’ve never seen a car bomb, but I’ve been inside a police car. I hope they hear me when I drop the f-bomb all over their wiretaps.
