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.

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...
