I love the argument, that if you have nothing to hide, then you shouldnt mind if the government monitors your phone calls and emails without any type of court approval. No checks and balances necessary. What great freedoms we have.

But I have an idea. As long as we are allowing bush to gut the constitution, and abolish the 4th amendment, we should let the IRS go ahead and monitor republicans financial info. Why dont we let the IRS monitor corporations? Every nickel in and out, the IRS could keep records.

The IRS could monitor their bank records, and keep detailed information on their spending. They could keep detailed info on their earnings. Basically we should tell the IRS to monitor every cent corporations and the wealthy earn and spend.

Remember republicans, if you dont have anything to hide, then what is the problem letting the IRS monitor you at every turn. If you have a problem with them monitoring you, then you must have something to hide, which is all the more reason to monitor you.

Those who sacrifice Liberty for Security deserve neither.

Actually I think we should go even further. Perhaps we should let the police and FBI monitor every living American just in case they decide at some point to commit a crime. Then they can catch these Americans in the planning stage perhaps and prevent the crime from ever happening.
