Do you like people reading over your shoulder?

Would you like it if some wretched pervert were peeping through your blinds?

No?

Then why do we tolerate the level of surveillance carried out by the United States government? This article maintains that Americans in 2013 are “the most spied upon people in world history.”

How do I know that we tolerate this? Just look at the election returns. 98% of Americans voted for surveillance state candidates in 2012. Evidently, it’s not a big deal.

How do you know that you are not breaking one of the laws contained within these tomes? And just remember, ignorance of the law is no defense.

How do you know that you are not breaking one of the laws contained within these tomes at Yale Law Library? And just remember, ignorance of the law is no defense.

And if you are naive enough to think that you are not doing nothing wrong so you have nothing to fear, watch the video embedded in the article. At the 8:00 mark, you will get perhaps the best answer I have ever heard to this: YOU DON’T GET TO DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG! THE GOVERNMENT DOES!

All of this has been sold to us in the name of “national security”.

How secure do you feel now?

My name is Doug Newman. I live in Aurora, Colorado, just outside Denver. Food for the Thinkers is mostly about the connection between Christianity and libertarianism. Most Christians do not understand libertarianism. And most libertarians do not understand Christianity. Hopefully, this blog helps clear up those misunderstanding.

We live in a world where the promotion of fear is being used as a weapon to control the masses. We look to the Gov and think that they will protect us when in reality they are the ones pointing their guns at us. They watch us through cameras, internet, cell phones and telephones, they watch what we eat and what time we fall asleep.

I find it scary that almost 98% of the people believe that they need to have more security. Many think that with more security that they will be able to live their distracted and soulless lives of consumption. So enjoy the cage your in because one day that word called “Freedom” that so many people have died for as well as talk about will no longer hold weight. So get ready!

Great Post!
