When did the govt become so afraid of us? why? We need role reversal
The government is the one that makes laws, executes people, can jail you, make war, has nuclear weapons, bio weapons, can take your children, etc and so on.

Yet they fear us so much they want library records of books you read, they tap our phones, watch us posting on the internet, want to read all our emails, cameras on street corners with facial recognition, etc and so on ad nauseum.

And what info do we get from them? I hear the crickets chirping....

I want to know what bush, rove, and others are reading and have read, I want their phones tapped so I can listen to them in case they are plotting something, I want their emails, and a camera in the oval office.

I got a lot more to fear from them, than they do from me. I ain't giving up more rights for these assholes - no matter if they be dem or rethug.

1. They know what they're doing (and plan to do) to us.
They have good reason to be afraid, IMO.

3. All through Clinton's Presidency, the repukes pushed the "fear factor"
of Clinton doing exactly what they now see Bush and the repukes doing . . .

Somehow, though, I don't see a "won't get fooled again" mentality from the masses . . .

4. I think if they were REALLY afraid of us, they'd never attempt what
they are doing.

What they are showing is not fear, but contempt. They don't think we can or will do anything about it.
