Russia was a real threat and commies were trying to actively sabotage the US. We could use another Red Scare to purge the Marxists from our nation.

McCarthyism wasn't good, if only because it made Hollywood a bastion of shitlibism.

Protip: When you try to tell someone they can't do something, it usually makes them want to do it even more.

It would be better to say that being suspicious of communists was good. The problem with the Red Scare is that people got labeled as communists and had their lives destroyed for arbitrary and unfair reasons. Additionally, a lot of the things the government was doing were clearly unconstitutional under the 4th amendment.

Some parts of it. I think the limitations on search and seizure make sense as long as we aren't talking about "metadata" and are actually talking about spying on people's homes and shit.

Metadata is just as useful as spying on your home if not more so, but that's besides the point. Anyone who argues from a constitutional perspective is a fool.

It's about how invasive it is and what sort of techniques are used by the agents in question. Most metadata isn't accessed by anyone even if it is collected, so it's a real stretch to say that the government is doing something evil.

I think it's stupid to assume that the constitution should never be changed, but it's also stupid to assume that there is no reason to want the government to follow the law. The constitution is a legal document, and ignoring is similar to ignoring a federal statute. I'd also be uncomfortable with Obama blatantly ignoring laws passed by the current Congress.

This might be true, but it is dogshit coming from the mouth of someone who was all "nbd" when another guys career and potentially life is being ruined for giving $1K to a majority position 5 years ago.

That's funny coming from a libertarian. I thought you guys were all about making big distinctions between government activity and private activity.

In any case, there is no question that he donated money to support prop 8. This isn't a comparable situation.

Sure, but the distinction is nonexistent for totalitarian statists like you. Which is what is relevant here.
