You know what the number one cause of paranoia is ...?
Feelings of guilt.
;>) Just kidding. But seriously...
I don't really think conservatives are out to get anyone, and even most liberals are merely conspiring to gain personal power, wealth, fame and influence. Most of them are not really thinking "Hmmmm, how can I lay the foundation for a tyrant to take over when my grandchildren are grown". It doesn't work like that (with a few exceptions perhaps).
Our biggest threats are from ideology rather than the method of governing. The methodology becomes a problem as a result.
This legislation does a lot more to stop abuse than it does to create potential abuses.
The best way to prevent tyranny is to exercise our freedoms without abusing them.

The best way to exercise our freedom is to monkeywrench a government goon. Make their lives miserable. Break their morale. Government is NOT our friend.

Save your breath. He is a paranoid little keyboard bully. A gutless wonder.
