The Truth About Conservatives and Liberals.
Conservatives and Liberals are always portrayed as if they're opposites of each other. Though it may seem as if they have many differences between each other, there is only one difference between the two. That difference is time.
Remember when the Patriot Act was signed into law? Liberals (and Libertarians) were strongly against this, and were told by Conservatives "If you have nothing to hide, why fear?".
Now, through leaks from Edward Snowden, we know that the NSA has secretly been spying on us and tracking our Internet activity. And who supports this? Liberals. Who opposes this? Conservatives (and Libertarians).

Daily reminder that it's not Liberal or Conservative, it's the state vs you.

[quote]If they have nothing to hide, why fear?[/quote] This... This is blatant ignorance. Say you were to find out that the government were doing some horrible unconstitutional crime. If you were to speak out against them, they could just pull up your Internet doings and, using tax money, publicize them in a negative light, (aka run a smear campaign,) making your credibility plunge downward. Those are just the facts. Make of them what you will. And don't act like there's nothing you've ever said on the Internet that could make you look bad.
