The equivalent I see to the NSA spying is as follows:

Imagine the cops coming to your house, completely searching it from top to bottom and catalog everything...all your clothing, furnishings, papers, prescription drug bottles, food, appliances, scan all your hard drives on all your computers, look behind the walls, above the ceilings, go through the attic, and the whole 9 yards.

When you ask to see their search warrant, the lead detective tells you that he doesn’t have one. “But don’t worry, we’re just going to take this inventory and store it at the precinct. We won’t actually look at the inventory unless we have a search warrant.”

“You should be happy because this will save us a whole bunch of time and you a whole lot of inconvenience if we ever suspect you of a crime in the future.”

I can’t imagine anybody feeling comfortable with that.

But yet libtards are perfectly OK if the government does a cyber-version of this and store the data at a yottabyte-sized data warehouse in Utah.

Idiots.

That’s because they think it’s directed at us.

Stick around until someone with an "r" next to their name is in the white house so what passes for "conservatives" these days can tag out the liberals and take their place in the ring making excuses for things like this.

Interestingly, most libtards are NOT perfectly OK with this.

Several times in the past week or so, I've snuck behind enemy lines into DU to eavesdrop, and just as on FR, there are a small number of jackboot lickers condemning Snowden, and the vast majority are incensed at the domestic spying, and very glad someone blew the whistle on it.
