First they came for the 4th Amendment...
First the came for the 4th Amendment, and the upstanding citizens all said, "What, me worry? I ain't go nothing to hide!"

Then they came for the 1st Amendment, and the couch potatoes said, "What do I care? I'm more into watching MTV and CNN than writing letters to the editor."

Then they came for the 2nd Amendment, and the Freepers cried out, "How dare they try to pry this gun from my hands!"

Then Hillary got elected... and even the Freepers longed for the good old days of the 4th Amendment!

- A Kafka-esque parable

1. Are you saying Hillary is going to infringe on privacy & civil liberties?
I doubt that. She's very socially liberal and gets a lot of support from free-speech and first-amendment advocates.

She's a war-monger and very right-wing on immigration and "faith-based" funding, but she's not a fascist.
