Conservatives and Liberals are always portrayed as if they're opposites of each other. Though it may seem as if they have many differences between each other, there is only one difference between the two. That difference is time.
Remember when the Patriot Act was signed into law? Liberals (and Libertarians) were strongly against this, and were told by Conservatives "If you have nothing to hide, why fear?".
Now, through leaks from Edward Snowden, we know that the NSA has secretly been spying on us and tracking our Internet activity. And who supports this? Liberals. Who opposes this? Conservatives (and Libertarians).

Daily reminder that it's not Liberal or Conservative, it's the state vs you.

This NSA shit isn't just the work of the Obama administration. Bush was in on it too, Obama just continued and expanded on it. I won't lie though, this has crippled both my national pride and my once great respect for the president.
