I don't know about some of the quoted guy's "5 truths:"

Truth One: It Ain't Just Muslim Fanatics

. . .

The jihadists are frightening and they do need to be countered; however, a biological weapon in the hands of Aryan Nation nutballs is also a real threat.
Haven't heard too many large-scale credible threats from the "Aryan Nation nutballs" lately, and the whole fear of the "white militia" seems to have died down quite a bit after all the post-OKC attention from the feds and execution of McVeigh. Sure we need to be vigilant and they may come back, but wishing up hypothetical threats to the domestic USA from "white Christians" when there are real credible and immediate threats from Islamic wackos is just a form of political correctness.

Despite screeching from the ACLU, the Constitution doesn't declare a right to privacy. The expectation of privacy is a recent invention by the Supreme Court (and they can un-invent it after the next massive terror attack, though it's sad we have to wait for that.)
I also don't appreciate this guy's apparent complete lack of respect from privacy because it is not specifically enumerated in the Constitution. Too bad most people don't understand or accept the whole idea of rights reserved to the people anymore, and too bad the founders didn't insist on an even longer list of rights.
