These knuckleheads who try to draw some connection between current government eavesdropping and Nazi Germany have no rational answer for the following: Why is it that despite all the widely accepted limits on "privacy" and "liberty" during WWII, Americans are freer today than they were back then?
In other words, all the "slippery slope" talk is nonsense.
Who says it was accepted. I believe that SCOTUS found many of the issues unconstitutional. The bastards should have been shot, hung, drawn and courtered, take your pick.
As another old sound byte...Just because someone lengthens your chain does not mean you are free.
