Given the last three days news - that all American telephone data is accessible to the NSA. - that all domestic and foreign Internet traffic including email, chat, Facebook,Skype, google etc is stored. - that an offensive cyber warfare command exists and operates against Americans deemed "threats" -that the military and police now operate in lock step thanks to "intelligence sharing" - that the government, Starting with IRS and DHS, routinely discriminates according to political affiliation. How can anyone possibly believe they are not living in a police state? Folks, you don't build this capacity and not use it. It matters not who is in the Whitehouse, you have had it and your freedom ain't coming back.
Oh please. You phony-bologna conservatives have never shed a tear over this kind of stuff for as long as its been going on in the private sector for marking purposes and other purposes. But heaven forbid we find out that this information is also being used by the government to help track terrorists (an actual good thing) and suddenly it becomes 'the republic is lost'. That brainless hyperbole is as asinine as seeing ignorant conservatives RUSHING to the defense of terrorists, by demanding that our national security community rid itself of its means to gain information on them. Been going on for years, you have no issue with these companies selling your info to the highest bidder. Phony make-believe outrage. Wait, you mean up until 3 days ago you were utterly clueless to the possibility that the same data mining techniques and information gathered/used by private companies would also be utilized for national security purposes? What bubble do you reside in? So an scandal that is limited to a small section of the IRS constitutes 'THE GOVERNMENT' as a whole, routinely discriminates according to political affiliation? You're making it up as you go along now. Pitiful. Larry Craig was caught playing footsie and trying to solicit anonymous gay sex with stranger in an airport bathroom, therefore, ALL conservatives/republicans routinely solicit gay sex from strangers. Are there black helicopters circling your trailer? What freedoms have you lost? Hilarious.
The Republic of the United States of America died when the 17th Amendment was ratified by the Stupids. The 17th Amendment ended the representation of the STATES in the US government, and without that balance, the socialist nightmare of the 20th Century proceeded.
