They support employers' right to tag their workers and monitor everything they do. Cenk is right it's only a matter of time before the start implanting tracking stuff under people's skin. Integrate it with your facebook/foursquare. They'll probably sell it as the patriotic thing to do. After all if you're not a terrorist, why would you object to being tracked and monitored every second of your life.

Time for left/liberal libertarians to start vocally objecting to this stuff before it gets out of hand.
