[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 947428, member: 2189"] Our founding fathers were such idiots. I mean they had this looney idea that people are innocent until the gov't presents hard evidence to prove they are guilty and they even came up with these provisions in which the gov't must recognize that the meer mundane citizen is protected in his person and property and thus can't be made to be a source of evidence against him/herself. But we are so lucky to have the great Professor Gingrich who is here to now save us from the folly of the founding fathers. [URL="http://crooksandliars.com/david-neiwert/gingrich-we-should-have-singapore-st"][COLOR=#ff0000]Gingrich and O'Reilly champion mandatory drug testing for everyone.[/COLOR][/URL] But then we are all terrorists until we prove otherwise to board an airplane so the precedence has in some sense been set. If I can make person A think that person B is a constant threat and make person B think that person A is a constant threat and I'm able to propagate that fear between the 2 while I also convince both person A and person B that I can protect each of them from the other and the more power I have regardless what it is, the better able I am at protecting both. Now, what stops me from becoming the real threat to both person A and person B? Maybe I really understand that person A and person B are the threat to me and my secret is to keep them at odds with one another which is the real secret to how I maintain power and even achieve more of it.
