We in America have no rights.
We have privileges. Privileges that can be curtailed at the drop of a hat or a fat friggin lie.
If you need proof...
Go to Wikipedia and search for Japanese/Americans 1942. Thousands of citizens, born here, were rounded up and placed in internment camps simply because their parents were born in a country that declared war on us. No accusations, no warrants, no jury trial, no due process. Just, we see you as a threat to the public order and now you're free to walk into this camp we made for you for an indefinite period of time. It's for your own safety.
Our government and its agencies are riddled with paranoid psychopathic liars that are afraid of their own shadows. Considering the way they keep trampling on the constitution, I don't wonder at it.
They can monitor anything they want because I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince them of their errors.
