The erosion of liberty is simple when the people applaud as their rights are violated.
Quote:

The reality is that crisis situations are exactly the times when individual liberties are most vulnerable and needing to be defended. These are also the most challenging and unpopular times to defend civil rights, as swathes of fearful people clamor for the government to keep them safe. The folly of letting the government pick and choose when it must may follow the constitution should be obvious, however. To keep our rights intact we must refuse to accept these mass suspensions of the constitution for an increasingly wide variety of excuses.

Yeah, that's fucked up. It reminds me of the manhunt and searching immediately following the explosions at the Boston marathon. Not the same as hot pursuit.

Marines don’t run around asking about compensation, retirement modernization. That’s not on their mind. As I talk to thousands of audiences, they want to know onto whose neck do we put a boot next...
~Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Micheal P. Barrett, testifying before Senate Armed Services Committee


'Micheal' is not a misspelling, btw

It is. Just not by you.

I thought the same. Everywhere I went (3 sites) the man's name was spelt that way.

Plus, he's the Sgt. Maj. of the Marine Corps, who's gonna correct him, the Commandant?

Yeah, there comes a point, maybe an age, when the long term effects of all this crap is of little concern.
Might as well,
never can tell,
