I still believe that such fears are unwarranted. If I feel like I was no longer living in freedom, I would say so.
But it's funny that I only feel like I am not free when I turn on right-wing radio. Fear is the commodity they sell, and it sells well funding a cable network and a cadre of radio hosts to fill a 24 hour constant beating of the fear drum.
If I thought my government would turn on me, I'd be seriously worried.
But none of the things feared are coming to be. Sure there are isolated incidents that could have been handled better, but I just do not believe we are in for a massacre of epic proportions.
