I'm not sure who you think thwarted at least 40 attacks since 9/11 (according to the Heritage Foundation)? Yes, it was the Feds along with local law enforcement.
Yes, we want at little Gov't as possible. That being said, we also need a Gov't that's going to keep terrorists at bay. Do you really NOT want to listen in to find out what their planning?
And no, I don't want them listening into "terrorists" if it means recording my phone calls and snatching all of my emails and texts. Quit being such a bed wetting pussy thinking big brother has to protect you, man up and be something the Founders wouldn't be ashamed of. Heritage and the rest of Coward America needs to grow a pair start living as free men and women again.
