I am impressed that you are still here and have posted a few more comments in this thread. However, I would be more impressed if you had answered the question immediately asked of you in post #2. How do you feel like your civil liberties have been eroded? Since you brought the topic to attention, I believe you should answer the question.
It is my belief if you can sincerely and honestly provide an answer, we can begin an open and helpful discussion for us all. Otherwise, that comment sounds like a Democrat talking point.
Actually he did answer the question by saying that non of his civil liberties have been eroded. I then wondered why he was worried but he has not answered.
