I love how every security measure that comes down the pike reminds hysterical left-wingers of the 3rd Reich or Orwell’s “1984”…well, if Republicans are suggesting it. On the other hand, here’s “an area designated for organized protests” at the Democratic National Convention…

I guess the people who want to exercise their First Amendment Rights at the convention will have to do it from the inside of a Democratic “freedom cage”, huh fellas? I suppose it’s “ya can’t be too careful” when Democratic elites might be imperiled, but when it comes to protecting the American people from terrorism it’s “The task we must set for ourselves is not to feel secure, but to be able to tolerate insecurity”. — Erich Fromm
