Obviously they are screeching like stuck pigs that what they are doing has been publicly revealed. So it would seem that, no, they don’t want THEIR every action to be seen.
I believe in a certain amount of security. It would be helpful for a practical application and greatly reduce costs and efforts if only they dared to profile just who they are after. But, oh, no ... they have to spy on everyone rather than offend a few.
(minor point: surprised Barr doesn’t know Nancy Pelosi isn’t a Senator; or he needs better editing)
I think we all need to be ready to face the fact that we will likely live to see a situation where the states (red states) will have to stare down a declaration of martial law. Its coming just as sure as we are talking about it.
The Congress of the United States will do nothing to stop the totalitarian apparatus. Neither will the SCOTUS. They are both now totally corrupted.
Gotta love those who have no problem with the govt spying on every move they make because they have done nothing wrong. Lets see.
Has your bank ever made a mistake and bounced a check when your had deposited the funds to cover it?
Has your landlord ever made a mistake in your rent collection or Security Deposit?
Has the Police ever made a mistake and ticketed you for speeding when you weren’t?
Have you ever gone to court....for ANY reason?
Did YOUR address get mistakenly printed on a Drug Search Warrant?
Has your son or daughter ever been in trouble at school? (like that little girl who said she was going to shoot her friend with soap bubbles and the school put in her permanent records that she was a terrorist threat)
What about that time when your rebellious son was hanging out with the wrong crowd that night and got picked up for Criminal Mischief,
and you went down to the station and signed him out?
How about the other side of you family?
The black sheep side with your same last name?
Don’t they have a son who goes to all those protests with OWS?
What about that nutcase neighbor who heads up the Neighborhood Watch?
Didn’t you piss him off one day by blocking his driveway for five minutes while moving a piano? Did you know that he was Filing Reports on “subversive” neighbors late at night on his computer?
Everything on you is permanent,,,everything. But , hey, there is nothing to fear from the govt, right?
I think you can actually do a lot of the things on your list without fear of government repercussions. The main thing is to avoid criticizing government or government officials. Just don’t talk about religion or politics anymore.
ok, but I don’t live in China or Russia!
Advocating this on Free Republic? Missing the /sarc tag! We can't hide, the brother has reams of data on us we can't remove!
Snowden is a distraction. William Binney is the real deal.
Peter King is just another dictator wannabe. He even LOOKS like a dictator.
Who is William Binney?
King is a pig. He supported terrorism for years. (the Irish Republican Army) Yet he wants Snowden to be arrested for treason?
In our Constitutional system, the government was not the source of security, the people were, that "well regulated militia" (which meant that they got regular training).
If “the people” were to be providers of our national security, they might have been a little fussier about who they let become ‘the people.’ Then none of this would be an issue. The downside of being the most open nation in history.
I don't think that was the cause. I think it was abrogating their responsibility to integrate the first great immigration wave by taking the bait of public education.
Why do you suppose many cops carry “drop guns?”
Bob, weren’t you an elected congressman? Wasn’t there any collection of data, wiretapping and spying while you were in office? This is nothing new and with technology advancing as it has, isn’t going to stop. So what do we as a country do about it? Is national security a priority or does it fall second to individual privacy?
When they get to the point of requiring criticism, assist them in having an "accident". Or choose the triple S option.
This all assumes, of course, that the ballot box option is no longer feasible.
BTTT!
I know — just pointing out the rhetoric. Everything’s always the US’s fault.
