Let’s be clear. I don’t believe you.

And we are NOT a free county. And that you claim we are is a huge flashing red light to me. And Texas is no refuge.

“the NSA has admitted that they collect every voice call. I read a report where they admitted they run the “take” to see if any key words kick it out for more scrutiny. They are getting everything.”

No doubt that is true. And some of that has been going on a long time. But I believe that never before has the information in the system been used to target opponents of the administration (disregarding minor Nixon lunacy).

I am glad that someone else had the thought that Snowden might be a tool of Obozo.

When I made my post to all who commented I asked for your opinions. I did not state that my suspicion was fact.

“And Texas is no refuge.”

Well it may not be, but I can still do pretty much whatever I want to here. And it has been home for some of my family since the Republic of Texas.

I was the first of my immediate family to move away. Was gone 25 years. Spent 14 years in NM, 3-1/2 back in TX, then 7 in OK and in 1995 moved back to Texas. Don’t plan on leaving again, am 65.

An attempt to subjugate TX would come at a terrible price.
It is my opinion, Texas will be the last standing if it ever hits the fan. Nature of the beast.

What do you base that on?

Just the fact that our rulers lie to us at every junction.

I don’t understand your point of view. Is the Federal Government your enemy or not?

We see that one pretty close.

Obozo lies 24/7 and his actions indicate he serves the father-of-lies. His minions are either useful idiots or fellow travelers.

There is no treachery that Obozo would not do to advance his goal of destroying the US. Economic, military, social, rule of law, prestige in the world and influence for good.

We are not pristine in our treatment of allies. But Obozo’s masters are pure evil.

Why are you defending the NSA? I don’t get it.

There are functions in the Federal Government that are constitutional and constructive. Most of the FedGov is unconstitutional and worse than worthless.

But I am not at war with the FedGov. I am at war with Obozo and his demons.

God you’re stupid. If there’s a power lever the Enemy will grab it. How can you not know that?

The NSA has a function that is legal. That function should be to protect and defend the US against enemies foreign & domestic. Most public officials take such an oath. Many do not take it seriously.

The scope of the NSA monitoring is clearly unconstitutional. As far as the type of people who run the agency at the top, I do not have a way to judge.

It is clear to me that Obozo has used the information from federal databases to persecute/punish his opponents. That is a violation of his authority. If that information comes from the NSA data, then “Houston we have a problem”. I suspect it is.

It bothers me that Congress has not checked his assuming such power.

There’s a difference between having the ABILITY to listen in on suspicious phone calls and recording ALL of them for later analysis if needed.

The first one sounds constitutional. The second one MIGHT be but you can’t EVER secure that much data or ensure no one with ill intent has access to it. It’s like opening a candy store in the middle of an ant farm. You’ll never get rid of them and the candy will ALWAYS be attractive to the ants.

By the way, my mother was from MN. She died in August of last year. She & my father met in Union Station in DC. She arrived to take a job there and he arrived to prepare to board a ship to Europe during WWII. They were married 66 years.

If it were ever proven that the administration used NSA data for internal political purposes, I believe that even the Democrats would call for long prison sentences.

I don’t think it is occurring. But, I don’t know.

Let’s ask another question. Are any fed gov agencies on the side of freedom and the individual pursuit of liberty?

There are many POLs that marvel at Obozo’s database. Sources? Are not spoken of.

Some of the idiot ComDem POLs have bragged about it.

I have no faith in our Federal Government. I don’t believe anything they tell me.

Are they my enemy? Who knows?
