Here’s the rest. Maybe some context helps show what he was trying to get at.

I was pleased, but not surprised, by my reception at UC-Berkeley. They, like me, think we’ve been too lax in giving up our privacy. Our government is interested in what books we read. They’re interested in what we say in our phone calls. They’re interested in what we write in our emails.

We now know that the National Security Agency is collecting the phone records of all Americans.

But some say, it’s only records held anonymously and only rarely accessed. What’s your beef?

What they rarely mention is that they don’t believe any of your records have Fourth Amendment protection.

When they say it’s only boring old business records, think of what information is recorded on your Visa bill. From your bill, the government can tell whether you drink or smoke and how much, whether your gamble, what books or magazines you read. Whether you see a psychiatrist or what medications you take.

I oppose this abuse of power with every ounce of energy I have. I believe you have a right to privacy.

I believe no government should ever access your records without a judge’s warrant. I believe the majority of Americans agree with me.

The question before us is: Will we live as free men and women or will we cower and give up our liberty? I, for one, will fight on because I believe that your rights are inalienable, inseparable and inextinguishable. More conservatives need to proudly stand up and protect the Bill of Rights.

I am certain the influential writers at Breitbart California will stand with me and continue to introduce a more tolerant view of American politics and a view that will attract new members to our movement.

Together, we will continue to grow the conservative movement. Breitbart California will only help our party evolve, not die.
