I was self torturing myself and landed on fox while this happened, (I'll switch between networks) and there was this republican "terror expert". The reason I'm assuming he is a republican is because he was appointed during the G'dub years.

Anywho, he was saying that it was high time that we start running our streets like Great Britain does, with cameras everywhere! I had to do a split take! I always s thought that republicans are small government and that was the job of the "nasty D's", to have big .gov and be intrusive.

For one it's a horrible idea to be abused, I guess that's the R's new thing now. Security for sake of liberty. It took the FBI what, 24 hours to get a lead on this guy?

No thank you republicans. The democrats in office are keeping us plenty safe, and I'm starting to get weird nazi vibes from the republicans especially with trump.
