Chomsky: Obama ‘Determined To Demolish The Foundations Of Our Civil Liberties’

Quote
Progressive hero Noam Chomsky is terrified of the surveillance state that has developed during the tenure of President Barack Obama, calling it a grave threat to our fundamental civil liberties.

In a column published Monday, Chomsky writes that the documents revealed to the public by Edward Snowden show a system that is flagrantly violating the principles of the Constitution.

“It is of no slight import that the project is being executed in one of the freest countries in the world, and in radical violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights, which protects citizens from ‘unreasonable searches and seizures,’ and guarantees the privacy of their persons, houses, papers and effects,” Chomsky said.

Someone should post this at DU.  :fuelfire: :lmao:

Gee, Noam, it's a shame you feel that way.  Maybe you should have thought this through a little better when you were looking down your nose at the rest of us when we told you this would happen.

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

Yup. They should quit whining about it.

I might have awarded my post of the day award a bit prematurely.

Prof. Chomsky should have read more Hayek, Ayn Rand, Orwell and less Marx.

Well said, Big Dog, and H5.  Now if only the poor old deranged Commie could make the connection to the reason for the Second Amendment being in there, too...
