Those of you who are opposed to the government spying on everybody (and then lying about it before Congress) should be ashamed of yourselves...

I am. I will accept all of the government intrusion necessary to protect my rights and freedom.

The attitude sort of reminds me of those scrolling shootout video games (e.g. Zaxxon), where destroying the enemy's fuel tanks somehow gives you extra fuel.

"I will accept all of the government intrusion necessary to protect my rights and freedom."

How do you know what is "necessary" if you simply take them at their word (keeping in mind that they have already purposefully deceived you), without asking basic questions?
