whatever said:
That's a ridiculous generalization. It just depends on the laws we are talking about. Conservatives generally supported the Patriot Act, the (undeclared by Congress) war in Iraq, the torture of prisoners, and warrantless wiretaps. |
Water Gate!!! Nixon's wire tapping was ahead of his times. Wire tapping and is used by most police services in the modern word. Gestapo/Stasi style policing is rampant.
Wars on Terrorism fighting wars in Middle East and governments enforcing draconian laws on their own citizens. Anyone can be considered a terrorist under the new Anti-Terrorist laws. Countless innocent people are taken away to an undisclosed location and interrogated for 30 days without legal representation. Governments continuously interfere with people's civil rights and liberties.
The breach of privacy and intrusion into citizens lives by governments is all to keep us safe and secure from terrorism. George W. Bush and other neo-cons continuously push their used car sales pitch : "You are all safe and secure with me and Please trust me".
