You enjoy freedoms you do not even recognize. In a totalitarian regime, your post count would be 11, maybe 12.
Words have meaning...name one intrusion by government in your life that is not lawful.

I didn't say that I lived in a totalitarian regime. So your retort is meaningless.
I said that the "new conservative" appears to favor government intrusion over individual rights. That is the first step toward a "totalitarian regime."
If we get there, the point will become moot, because there will be nothing we can do about it.
I don't want to go down that road. With so-called "conservatives" favoring warrantles wiretaps, declaring how much money we carry, having our bank accounts monitored without cause, giving the FBI "secret warrants," abolishing habeas corpus, and on and on, we are headed down that road.
sammy's retort that "if you are doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about" does nothing to stop the slide. Quite the opposite.
I hope you now understand my point. It's not that we live in a totalitarian regime, it's that I don't want to.
