Why You Should Protest When Others’ Freedom is Threatened

An obvious metaphor

An obvious metaphor


Because birds always come home to roost. Yes, the right wing spent the Bush-Cheney years rolling their eyes at those of us who believe in the Constitution. They said that we have nothing to fear from surveillance if we weren’t hiding anything. They said that we were exaggerating the problem when the Bush-Cheney administration decided to stick its tentacles and agents and microphones in the nests of political dissidents. And the right wing cheered.

What now, punks?

UPDATE: And if you’re a leftie, but not screaming about this, shut up the next time “they” come for you.
