Is there really any doubt in any conservative, free man that Barack Hussein Obama, a tyrant, is about to enslave America? Is there really any doubt about his plans, folks? Honestly. I would entertain any reasonable, rational, fact-based discussion to the contrary, but I doubt anyone meeting those criteria would stand up to argue.

It’s over, guys. One by one, FReepers, conservatives, Republicans, gun owners, Christians, Catholics, Jews will be scooped up, tracked, Vince Foster’d, or outright executed. I have no doubt in my mind, down to the very core of my being and into the marrow of every bone in my body that we will be living in a socialist dictatorship in less than 4 years.

Massive new surveillance program uncovered by Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal reported today that the little-known National Counterterrorism Center, based in an unmarked building in McLean, Va., has been granted sweeping new authority to store and monitor massive datasets about innocent Americans.

After internal wrangling over privacy and civil liberties issues, the Justice Department reportedly signed off on controversial new guidelines earlier this year. The guidelines allow the NCTC, for the first time, to keep data about innocent U.S. citizens for up to five years, using “predictive pattern-matching,” to analyze it for suspicious patterns of behavior. The data the counterterrorism center has access to, according to the Journal, includes “entire government databases—flight records, casino-employee lists, the names of Americans hosting foreign-exchange students and many others.”

Notably, the Journal reports that these changes also allow databases about U.S. civilians to be handed over to foreign governments for analysis, presumably so that they too can attempt to determine future criminal actions. The Department of Homeland
Security’s former chief privacy officer said that it represents a “sea change in the way that the government interacts with the general public.”

And I bet there is a field on one of the tables that marks “D” versus “R”, versus “I”.

Wonder if the liberal fascists will utter a word about this? I won’t hold my breath.

When the NSA facility in Utah goes online I fear to think how much larger those dossiers are going to get and how many innocents are going to be targeted. I imagine the security is going to be extreme at first.

Get a grip, rarestia. These 400 pound slobs in the federal bureaucracy wouldn’t last two minutes on a battlefield, including your neighborhood.

Here in South Carolina, the tea party was attacked by the fearsome SEIU gestapo. Within about two minutes, these leftist fat boys were begging and bawling for the local cops or their mommies to come rescue them.

Let’s not assign superman powers to union worms.

“”Justice Dept. Studied and Shelved Ideas to Bolster Gun Database” - the Justice Department drew up a detailed list of steps the government could take to expand the background-check system in order to reduce the risk of guns falling into the hands of mentally ill people and criminals.”

They’ll be taking that expanded background check back off the shelf with these latest rounds of shootings. Welcome to al Amerika.

Come get some moron. You can keep your head in the sand for as long as you want but I have no illusions as to what’s coming.

Oh, now you're some kind of badass. An hour ago, you were curling up in a ball and sobbing about the end of the world, and going to Obama's concentration camps.

You can keep your head in the sand for as long as you want but I have no illusions as to what’s coming.

There you go again. If you're so convinced that you're helplessly hopeless, and that you're gonna get dragged off to a FEMA prison, then do us all a favor and log off FR until they come for you. Your doom and gloom drivel is insufferable.
