Government Watch List

If you are not on a government watch list by now you should be ashamed of yourself!!

Have you ever thought that we are the veterans that needs watching which Janet Natpolitano referred to? If so, we've been on the list since '08!

When I went through the list of reasons to be watched, I hit a large portion of them... I guess of the 78 I was on 55 or so......... Mostly because I am a Constitutionalist.

Let them watch me, I swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic... and will live (or die) by that oath.

We are on the Watch List because we watch the watchers.

Watching the watchers has typically been noble work and in this time of government technology increasingly invading all of our privacy watching the watchers may never have been more valuable.

Politicians of all stripes generally cannot be trusted not to abuse private information for political advantage.

To paraphrase a common theme voiced by some watchers..."What do the watchers have to worry about if they follow the Constitution?"

But when the watchers watch the watchers who were originally watching the watchers, things start to get very confusing...
