We Should Fear the Surveillance State

Peggy Noonan has an excellent blog post explaining why conservatives (and everyone else) should be concerned about the surveillance state.

While she alludes to it in her post- referring to NSA's release of surveillance information to the Drug Enforcement Administration- most commentators I've read miss a point:

As more thing are made illegal, both here and around the world, all of us could eventually become actual targets of the surveillance state. The old saying, 'If you have nothing to hide, you don't have anything to worry about', won't apply to most of us as time goes on.
*******
Meanwhile, The New York Times reminds us of the ever expanding size and scope of the Transportation Security Agency.
*******
And Pat Buchanan takes a sobering look at the threat of Al Qaeda and how we deal with it.

"Henchman Of Justice" says,

and those who believe in GOD have nohing to bitch, moan and groan about either, as God is all seeing, all knowing, etc..., unless of course the person is hiding their sins as if GOD can see but other mortals cannot.

HOJ uses surveillance and has already "caught much", both against neighbors and the public agencies, etc... who like to damage stuff or do things behind one's back (BACKSTABBERS).

Surveillance works well in lawsuits as evidence too, even though so many hurdles just to get it there into court "as submitted".

Lawyers are only gonna get MORE SAVY with the use of surveillance to "find applicability". Of course, HOJ believes all public street intersections need surveillance as "crime deterence and evidence gathering". People againt it must be hiding something that they fear exposes their illegal behavior, embarrasing behavior, etc....; and again, God's believers fear nothing unless their tendency is to mock their Lord father by lying while staking claim to following their Lord fathers' beliefs and directions, blah, blah, blah.......the largest group or type of hypocrit can best be summed-up by "counting" how many people go to church and believe in GOD or some other entity, all high and mighty and not having smoked the local herb even.
