Glad you chimed in Tiny. You were on my mind when I listened to John Brennan speak about Joe Biden's plan to root out domestic terrorist. You did identify as a Libertarian I think and anybody else on this board who consider themselves a Libertarian, heed these words form our former head of the CIA and now talking head on MSNBC.Brennan needs to call a spade a spade. Libertarians refuse to countenance the federal government spying on us. The Democrats, and the Republicans except for Rand Paul, all love the idea. Brennan and his fellow spooks have led them to believe that we're all going to be killed by terrorists unless the NSA is allowed to follow our every move. Well, this is the United States of America, not China, and Brennan can go take a flying leap.

John Brennan: Biden Intelligence Agencies To Investigate Pro-Trump ‘Bigots’ And ‘Libertarians’
Obama-era CIA Director John Brennan said federal intelligence agencies’ top priority, under the leadership of President Joe Biden, is seeking to root out people in pro-Trump “insurgency” groups filled with “white supremacists.
“I know, looking forward, that the members of the Biden team who have been nominated or have been appointed are now moving in laser-like fashion, to try to uncover as much as they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we’ve seen overseas, where they germinate in different parts of the country and they gain strength, and it brings together an unholy alliance frequently of religious extremists — so authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, nativists, and even libertarians,” Brennan said on MSNBC.
The decision to target these groups, Brennan admitted, stemmed from the recent riot at the Capitol and the administration’s belief that then-President Donald Trump incited an insurrection among his supporters that could continue to be a “threat to our democracy and our republic.”
“Unfortunately, I think there has been this momentum that has been generated as a result of unfortunately the demagogue of rhetoric of people that just departed government, but also those who continue in the halls of Congress,” Brennan continued. “And so I really do think that the law enforcement, Homeland Security Intelligence, and even the defense officials are doing everything possible to root out what seems to be a very, very serious and insidious threat to our democracy and our republic.”
Despite repeatedly insisting that Obama’s intelligence agencies conducted “no spying on Donald Trump’s campaign,” a claim contradicted by inspector general reports, a two-year special counsel probe, congressional inquiries, and continued investigation, Brennan has repeatedly lied about the role Christopher Steele’s dossier played in the FBI and CIA’s review of disproven collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. He is also well-known for other public lies on TV and to Congress while under oath.
This is MSNBC's go to guy on Intelligence! Scary!
So all you Libertarians out there that thought you were safe from the new guard, watch yourselves because the former head of the CIA and confidant to Democrats, just lumped you in with domestic terrorist groups. In other words, if you do not believe what John Brennan and this group of democrats believe, you will be considered an insurrgent and you will be hunted down and punished because you just might be as bad as Al Qeada.
Welcome to Joe Biden's America.
