It is funny that 99% of Free Republic was cheering for Patriot Act back then

I wasn't cheering it but will admit I trusted the gov not to intrude on my privacy. I also trusted the gov not to allow this once great country to be taken over by an evil usurper with their full support and approval. I trusted the GOP not to keep putting up obvious losers and not pimp for communism. I trusted the SCOTUS not to "evade" the eligibility question. I trusted our leaders to keep our Constitution and freedoms sacred. I was naive, stupid and very wrong.

” I trusted the gov not to intrude on my privacy.”

People trust their government from time to time, especially if the government is perceived to be conveniently tied to their cause — whatever that might be.

Libtards did not trust the gubmint during Patriot act, while conservatives were hung-ho about it.

Now, Libtards deeply trust their gubmint when it comes to their healthcare, while conservatives are vehemently against it.

The bottomline is that people play games and they get the government they deserve.
