"Want to give up your freedom for Big Brother Protection? You're a WIMP."
Edited on Wed Jan-25-06 01:16 PM by Armstead
Just a little homemade meme in response to any morans who believe in sacrificing their civil libterties because they are scared.

(Especially addresed to all the "He Man" right wing types.)

3. That is exactly the issue. Are we a nation of cowards now?
Are Americans really okay with the idea of throwing away their liberties in exchange for comfortable cooings about "the president will keep you safe"?

It's repulsive. :grr:

6. There's a big disconnect
The same morans who don't want to register their guns or have reasonable economic regulation because they don't want to lose their "freedom" are willing to let the government become more authoritarian and intrusive to protect them from some shadowy notion of terra.

8. That's a good one. How about Republican Thumbsuckers?
Sucking one's thumb implies a subconscious desire to return to the security and protection of the womb.

18. Actually, several of them. About liberty and religion.
I rather doubt that they find his sayings about both any more likable than progressives are fond of his quotes about socialism and Roosevelt (me included). But, he sure had a way of puncturing balloons.

"Coalition objects to RFID chips for driver’s licenses

By Alice Lipowicz
Contributing Staff Writer

A coalition of conservative groups and privacy advocates is urging the Homeland Security Department not to include the use of radio frequency identification contactless chips in its regulations for implementing the Real ID Act for state driver’s licenses.

In a letter to Secretary Michael Chertoff, the groups assert that RFID costs a lot, lacks standardized technology and poses potential dangers to privacy from unauthorized reading of the chips. The RFID chips contain tiny processors that transmit information by radio wave to a reader.

“An exact tally of the potential costs of RFID technology is hard to come by, but there is no question it would be expensive,” wrote the coalition, which includes Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) and the American Civil Liberties Union. “Aside from the cost issue, we are concerned about the lack of adequate protections against the theft of personal information arising from remote-sensing devices.”

While the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the cost of implementing the Real ID Act at $100 million, CAGW judged that an RFID chip mandate as part of the act would cost up to $17 billion. State officials have developed their own estimates as well. For example, Washington State officials said in October 2005 they expect to spend $150 million over three years to comply with the act."

Memes are supposed to spread insidiously and infect the zeitgeist. :)

24. I seem to remember a bunch of puffed-up, cammoed
quasi "militia men," that were ready to take out Clinton for firebombing a child molesting preacher nutjob.

They've all rolled over like bitches, haven't they?
