The leadership of the Republican party takes the conservative voter for granted in precisely the same manner that Democrats take the black vote for granted.

Big deal.
Why should I get absolute privacy on someone else's property?

[TLBSHOW]

there won't be another election

[Howlin]

Have blacks stopped voting Democratic?

"Outlook Express cannot send your message because the FSB employee responsible for monitoring your mail is temporarily absent."

Russia started doing this in '98 with laws called SORM and SORM-2. It arosed quite a bit of controversy, especially since the ISPs were responsible for swallowing the costs involved in wiring FSB-FAPSI (Russian NSA).

Is that some sort of racist welfare remark regarding black voters?

[Mark Felton]

"Have blacks stopped voting Democratic?"

Of course not. No more than conservtives stopped voting Republican.

They both suffer battered voter syndrome. The more they are abused the more they believe they must "love" their party so they can fix it. They both fret that they have no where else to go, so they do not leave. They merely stay with the abuser and hope the abuser can be reformed (they never are reformed).

You're getting a check?

Of course not. I am not a modern conservative. (Modern conservatives are pro-socialist programs such as social security, welfare, prescription medicine, fed education...)

[redrock]

Of course.....those cowards who are afraid to stand up for our Rights...will be the first ones chanting (probably in unison)....."If you're not doing anything wrong...why would you be worried??"

Welcome to the NEW 'Amerika'!!

Eventually the state will require that encryption be outlawed unless the pure and idealistic govt employees are allowed to hold the keys to decrypt what you are sending.

Can you name a Freeper that believes in all those programs?

``Part of monitoring the Internet and doing real-time analysis is to be able to track incidents while they are occurring,'' the official said.
The smart bad guys are encrypting their traffic so this is only going to catch the not so tech savvy crook. Or to collect dirt on enemies.

those cowards who are afraid to stand up for our Rights

What rights? Your computer rights end with your phone line.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Scan our computers, erect surveillances cameras, turn airports into a shakedown zones while millions routinely, at will, invade our borders and spit on our laws and sovereignty.

As long as the government continues to leave the doors and windows to our house wide open, there will be no Home Land Security.
