If the NSA doesn’t want to be scrutinized they should have considered the consequences before they decided to violate the privacy of every American citizen, storing all their data, phone calls, and credit transactions.
If there is some sinister conspiracy here, it’s not to take down the NSA. It’s to solidify the legitimate fear of blackmail for those who oppose it.
And when the next major terror attack happens, which it inevitably will, the NSA will purposely point to any restrictions put on the violation of Americans’ privacy and hope to ride a wave of public opinion after to completely embed itself in every aspect of our lives.
Give up more of my dwindling freedoms to protect bankrupt America, land of the free stuff, where the cities burst at the seams with brown imports that replace aborted Americans? No thanks. Let the terrorists terrorize the city dwellers day and night. It's what they do. Likely 90% of those on the ground that died in 9/11 were free-stuff voters. Terrorism is a Democrat problem, not mine. Let them choose how they want to handle Islam and leave me out of it.
