It is quite ironic how the country that class itself the land of the free, and home of democracy, etc. exudes no fight for freedom within its own borders. Kinda ruins the whole freedom facade, when freedom is only given when it is inline with the government strategic plan.
There have been protests, haranguing in the news, even an attempt to defund the NSA's metadata collection program which almost passed. What do you expect, molotov cocktails to be thrown at Congress? It's a big country and most people simply don't care.
