I believe the order in which all these violations have been revealed has been carefully thought out and is building up to make a case in the minds of the American people. If the NSA data mining had come out first, it could have been blown off or excused with the lie that ‘the government only wants to protect us’, or just ‘tin foil ‘ paranoia, even though conservatives would have known better.
But there has been a steady stream of “reveals “ that have been made public in a certain order that I think is intentional, building up to a certain goal.
-The IRS scandal showing malice toward conservatives.
- The AP scandal showing monitoring and intimidation toward journalists.
-The James Risen incident showing how far the DOJ is willing to go to keep their American Pravda in line.
-The news about the IRS collecting health data on millions of Californians came next, the first ‘outing ‘ to show potential government abuse toward a broad cross section of citizens.
These reveals are all starting to chip away at the edges, but it was still in the realm of: “they came after....but I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a journalist, conservative, etc” .
Then the news that they were collecting phone records on ALL Verizon customers came out, showing that the monitoring was more broad based than thought and was affecting a huge cross section of Americans.
The reveal yesterday by Holder that Congressmen and the Supreme court have been monitored and probably compromised to a great extent. This could cast some doubt in the liberals minds that maybe even their own representatives are being controlled.
Now, with all that background revealed, the information about the NSA data mining center was seen in the truly frightening context that it should be, and hopefully this carefully timed and orchestrated set of information releases will serve to wake up some independents, some young people, some of the ‘head in the clouds’, ‘ useful idiot’ type of liberals who are not the hard core leftists.
I just saw some moron from Blue Spire (http://www.bluespiremarketing.com/Home) on the local Fox affiliate say he was “OK” with all of this because it keeps us safer. Yeah right...
I don't know if your scenario is true or not, but it deserves a response...

Methinks no one in your theory will "wake up." If you speak to a democRAT/marxist/liberal/socialist (sorry to be redundant), they will tell you know matter if it's domestic, or foreign policy, it's Bush's fault.
Most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Lets hope so.
My wife and I were watching Fox News when Shep broke this news and had a discussion with Judge Napi.
Shep went from mild mannered semi Lib to shouting about what an abuse this was. He wondered when the Feds would send someone to live with us and drive with us to monitor what we say and think.
My wife laughed and said he sounds more fired up than we do.
