probably the most uninformed thing i have seen on this forum in a long time.
it's the right wing conservatives that are pushing these agendas. they pushed through the patriot act post 9/11 and they just pushed through the digital version of it in the new budget here in the US. i don't think there are any liberal governments trying to pass this stuff through.
but hey feel free to play the blame game. it's what they want you to do, so you forget to actually vote out the people calling for this loss of freedom regularly. they are good at the smoke and mirror games to keep folks from seeing what is really going on and we just love to look right where they tell us to and not peak behind the curtain.....
Exactly backward. Look at all of the history of man-made government systems, especially where any form of tyranny was involved. Every one of them was all about big government, control, sloppy spending, government over-reach, extremely irresponsible programs designed to manipulate, deceive and control the common people... Exactly what the democrats have been doing for a long time.
Of course, the so-called conservatives are playing right into it as well, but ALL of politics is corrupt. That includes ALL man-made governments and related bureaucratic systems.
However, there are some on the conservative side who want to reduce government over-reach and cut back the level of control of the government over the lives of the people. Unfortunately, there are too few of them and too many who just want to use the corrupt system as it is to make their selves rich at the expense of the people.
These are some of the reasons why the Constitution and Bill of Rights were written the way they were written. It should be the people controlling the government, not the other way around. But it has got turned around backward.
When you actually believe the leftist news media and the various dishonest politicians who lie to you and say they are trying to protect you or help you or something like that (like O'Bammy or H'Liar C. or many others), you are seriously deluding yourself and ignoring the obvious truths.
George Santayana and President Truman both remarked about how those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it. Right now, this nation is on course to repeat the massive failures of the Soviet Union, the Nazis and many others. That business of believing every lie told you by the media and the politicians, especially the democrats, is playing right into the hands of those who would bring about that kind of disaster.
Fortunately, it is true that they will never be able to truly stop encryption. The technology is very far advanced and advancing more rapidly every day. The demoncrats who want to control everybody can pass whatever laws they want and it won't make any real difference except they might put a few more people behind bars for a short time. But the prisons are already beyond capacity, so where will they put people who break some pathetic law about encryption, especially when you might break such a ridiculous law just by checking your email?
That technology, especially encryption, is advancing way beyond the ability of governments to control is a good thing. That's a small part of what the Bill of Rights is about. It's about freedom from overly controlling government and the 2nd amendment is the natural back-stop for all the other freedoms outlined in the other amendments. The lack of something like the 2nd amendment is the reason why the various totalitarian regimes were so successful in their times. When the people lose control of their own government, they are asking for a disaster. That is one of the biggest lessons history bears... If you will read it and learn.
When you rely on the government to be your protection and provide your needs and whatever more you are making yourself a slave to the whims of those who want to manipulate and control you.
But when you treat others the way you would like to be treated (like be honest and fair and kind) and live free and simple, you can find there is much to be gained. There was someone named Jesus who taught such things. There were others who followed after Him who taught the same principles and many have found they truly work.
