I Was Just Thinking This...

... but as usual, Dale Franks says it better:

Think about it:

1. You want the government to prevent terrorist attacks.
2. You don't want the government to target specific groups.
3. You don't want the government to engage in widespread surveillance.

Well, I've got bad news for you. Pick two of the above. All three of those goals cannot be achieved, and demanding that the world operate in a different fashion than it does is just childish and petulant.

Read the whole thing for loads of Franks' snarky goodness.
