Even the Author of the Patriot Act Is Trying To Stop the NSA

Daniel_Stuckey writes "Republican Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner will introduce an anti-NSA bill tomorrow in the House, and if it makes its winding way to becoming law, it will be a big step towards curtailing the NSA's bulk metadata collection. Wisconsin Rep. Sensenbrenner, along with 60 co-sponsors, aims to amend one section of the Patriot Act, Section 215, in a bill known as the United and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ending Eavesdropping, Dragnet Collection, and Online Monitoring Act — also known by its less-clunky acronym version, the USA Freedom Act."

They go hand in hand. Authoritarianism and Socialism have always been dependent on each other.

History shows that the more socialist a country is, the more authoritarian it is as well. Socialism is a system that must be imposed, authoritarianism is the vehicle that accomplishes that.
