Gives a whole new dynamic to “can you hear me now?”
Note to “liberals”:
Der Fuhrer is no longer in need of your rabble rousing services. Further attempts to agitate will be severely dealt with. Thanks for all your help, now STFU.
“....being an AT&T customer doesn’t seem such a bad thing after all. “
Don’t think so was a customer once.... they are worse. They are problably giving the data without a warrant.
What about the tin-foil hats?
You forgot to mention the tin-foil hats.
“Finally, totaling every scandal up – IRS, AP phone records, Fox journalists being targeted, the Benghazi mess – this has to be the most furtively authoritarian White House since Nixon’s. We don’t yet have a “smoking email” from Obama ordering all of this, but it can’t be said often enough that there is a correlation between Obama’s “progressive” domestic agenda and the misbehavior of the other agencies governed by his administration – forcing people to buy healthcare even when they can’t afford it, bailing out the banks, war in Libya and the use of drone strikes to kill US citizens. This is exactly what the Tea Party was founded to expose and oppose. All the laughter once directed at the “paranoid” Right now rings hollow.”
Is a sarcasm tag really needed here???
How much longer?
Guys... the foreign press is doing to us what we did to Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. This should chill you to your core. Foreign press outlets are proclaiming America to be under the rule of a tyrant. I’m truly in fear for our nation.
It’s only a matter of time before the Chinese or the Russians consider an invasion. We’re scattered across the world in skirmishes. Our military would not likely repel an invasion.
Second, you get what you vote for – and both Republicans and Democrats keep on voting for authoritarians. There’s a frustrating hypocrisy that many conservatives applauded the accrual of state power under Bush for the sake of fighting the War on Terror only to scream blue murder about it now that it’s happening under Obama. Likewise, many liberals resented the domestic espionage programme of Bush but have been less vocal about opposing it under Obama.
I think we have to come to the realization that though we are liberty-minded conservatives and the majority of us Republicans, the Republican party has done us no favors in this regard.
I.e., we have the "Bush started it" defense ready to roll out.
Who sued to get the court involved to even make a ruling?
Just don’t say key words like Obama, President, Holder, Fast and Furious, IRS, Republican, Democrat, etc. Most of the conservations forwarded for review are based on key word identification. Of course, if not political then listening in on Arabic languages would have key values/words assigned. However, the great fear here is that Obama made this a Communism vs. United States (Republican/Democrat/Independent) political program.
The Day of the Jackal:
Minister: There’s one thing. How did you know whose telephone to tap?
Inspector Lebel: I didn’t, so I tapped all of them.
