Ahh... now you are getting close. It aint the gun, its the fellow behind the gun.
Oh, it is indeed the gun. I do not buy this “man behind the gun” argument. That proposes that the NSA is normally fine and protecting America, and that Only Obama has violated our trust.
I do not care for my neighbor laying a .50 cal machine gun directly towards my front door and then telling me to trust him. I want to know why the gun is aimed my way in the first place.
“ In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” – Thomas Jefferson.
“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.”
Patrick Henry
