The danger is from within. Certainly the external threat exists, but if we have to have an all-out war with Islam & level every mosque in the world, then we can do it.
Our constitutional Republic is gasping on life support, & Obama & other traitors intend to end it. Stopping these mechanisms for spying on us will help to stop HIM & those with the same goal.
OK. So we end the PRISM Program to limit what Obama could do with the phone and e-mail data.
Question: What evidence do we have that Obama has done anything with that data. He could. But has he?
More importantly consider the fact that you are giving up a major weapon that is in place primarly (IMHO) to help prevent a really massive attack on the U.S. That would be an attack with one or more smuggled in nuclear, biological or chemical weapons. Al Qaeda could have their hands on at least biological or chemical weapons right now. And given our (Obama's) help for the Al Qaeda forces in Syria the likelihood of that organization having them in the future increases every day.
We are talking deaths in the tens of thousands of Americans if they succeed. And there is no doubt about the goals of Al Qaeda and their associates. Killing Americans is their number one goal.
That's the tradeoff. Be careful what you ask for. Obama is wrong. The War on Terror is not over. It's just getting warmed up.
