Unless of course, those "ideals" are the ones codified in the Constitution by our founders to protect the rights and liberties of American citizens from an intrusive, tyrannical government. In those cases, "our ideals" must absolutely be compromised [read: thrown out the f***ing window] "for expedience's sake" in the name of "safety".
