Oh please, this has nothing to do with the "socialist agenda" but the product of social conservatives - especially the 'law and order" ones and the drug warriors.

You're not giving credit where credit is due. Plenty of liberals are also drug warriors. When was the last time you heard a democrat speak out against the abuses of power and infringement of civil liberties occurring more and more often in the name of the WOD? Seriously, I've been listening but the silence is deafening. They just tell us "it's for the children" while the right tell us it's for a morally upright society.

Liberals are far more likely to be on the right side of this issue than social conservatives. Social conservatives gave us the ramped up War on Drugs and of any political group, social conservatives are most hostile toward civil liberties. The social conservatives even make war against the 2nd amendment by giving their undying support to no-knock warrants and the use of plain clothes officers.

I have read countless times here on FR by social conservatives that if a person has nothing to hide then they have nothing to fear.

There is a reason for this.

Unlike Republicans, liberal Democrats are opportunists.

Whatever advances their command, control and revenue agenda suits them just fine. Conservatives and Republicans are just their useful idiots.
