Don’t worry, gov’t will never use this on us peons.
Yeah, just collecting phone numbers...they’ve probably got lots of members of Congress caught with their pants down dialing their “girlfriends”.
Maybe Rush is right..!!
There's a certain obviousness to that. Targeting is prioritized with the interests of certain, lofty entities in mind:
Time was, such entities were the Constitution and generally-well-accepted "American" interests.
Lately, it's the DNC's and the Left's moneyed and political interests that determine where the "focus" goes. And then we have report of individuals being targeted on the basis of being a personal enemy of someone in authority. Can you say Jim McDougal, Vince Foster, Breitbart, General Petraeus or Paula Jones, for example?
Breakdowns in checks and balances allow the interests of individuals, such as Obama and Soros to come to the fore--because they can in an environment of lack of oversight, whether laws, Congress, the media, or scrutiny by an aware public.
So, in short, the meme of not becoming a high value target or someone's personal enemy is strong, unless you're willing to stand prayerfully on a godly principal, in which case you might be stronger than any earthly force.
