I wouldn’t lose a bit of sleep over it, Marcella. Full disclosure, my husband retired in 2007 from a Federal law enforcement agency that is charged with gathering intelligence under Homeland Security. We still have many friends who work in different branches of federal law enforcement. They are appalled that people think they spend their days sifting through data, targeting law abiding citizens. Nothing could be further from the truth. The job they do is complex enough without that kind of massive waste of time and resources. Besides, being monumentally stupid and pointless, it would also be impossible to provide the scrutinty that many here feel is a danger to them.
Why even bother to have a “Bill of Rights”, as long as you have done nothing wrong. Maybe we should just rip that darned ol’ constitution up. If we can just infringe everyone’s rights because they say so our protection from infringement is moot, that’s the point, no other point needs to be made. Constitutionally we are protected from this behavior by our government and when we look the other way and allow this activity on the basis of “I’ve done nothing wrong” it undermines the founding document of a grand social order called “The United States of America”. No patriot should allow this intrusion on our liberties and certainly no “conservative”.

I was ticked off when Homeland Security placed, on their website, the verbiage that preppers were suspect of being domestic terrorists, along with retired military. I don’t worry about them because I figure more intelligent people will head that agency once Obama is gone. I’m a major prepper due to having lived in hurricane country and I resent anyone having an issue with me over that - especially since Obama has prepper equipment to keep him alive for years in his bunker provided by us.
I know there are good people in the NSA and you know there are good ones gathering intelligence in Homeland Security. Now, we just have to get Obama out to make sure he doesn’t use both those agencies to go after law abiding conservative citizens. Until he is gone, I don’t trust ANY government agency.
Thanks for writing to me with your info..
