One of the primary contentions, yesterday evening, of Establishment Republicans and Democrats in defense of the NSA's massive data collection program, was that the program was not only free from abuse (something we know is not true), but that it's ultimately useful in targeting real threats to the American people; maybe not yesterday, maybe not today, but perhaps some day in the future it will ensnare an entire sleeper sell of Jihadists mid-phone call to Iran, giving an unsecured credit card number to their yellowcake suppliers. The data collection, you see, is done only on those whose backgrounds demand it. If you've done nothing wrong? Then why worry that your cell phone data records are stored on a massive supercomputer in Utah, where they can be routinely downloaded and searched?
One thing they forgot to mention? The Obama Administration, which has greatly expanded warrantless wiretapping, has a very interesting definition of who consitutes a threat. They haven't been entirely forthcoming (or maybe they have, really) in who they focus on when it comes to things like "lone-wolf terrorist" or "threats to the very nature of our social fabric." And that's because, when they use the terms, they don't really mean the homegrown groups of Jihadists that Lindsey Graham or Dan Coats envisions, plotting to put a dirty bomb in a shopping mall or release anthrax into Congress's air ducts.

Let them learn something by reading me then. :-)
Hmmm....my computer is acting strange today!
Ultimately the nations peoples will simply refrain from expressing their opinions on anything for “fear” of being misunderstood or used against them.....
“Mission Accomplished”.......silence the debates and truth is never revealed.
Yo, Low-wretched! GFY.
Here let me start; Barry Soetoro Hussein Obama needs to be put under oath regarding the 27 Operators who perished in a helicopter in Afghanistan.
“..maybe not yesterday, maybe not today...sleeper cell...Jihadists...[Allah]...Iran...yellowcake...demand... cell phone....supercomputer...Obama...threat...lone-wolf terrorist...Lindsey Graham...Dan Coats...dirty bomb...shopping mall...anthrax....Congress.”
They’re gonna need lots of coffee.
ZZZzzzzzz.
coming soon to a residence near yours:
greeting we are the federal homeland security police (flashing badge), visiting your home with a no-knock warrant at 3 am to make certain that no terrorists are using your home computer to post cartoons, jokes, or opinions that are considered inflammatory and dangerous to the public.
and oh by the way we shot your dog on the way in. and your 5 year old niece.
and oh by the way since we are federal, we are immune from prosecution.
have a nice day.
The Obama's attacks on childbearing and the institutions of marriage and even organized religion are "threats to the very nature of our social fabric". So are efforts to push Socialism into all aspects of life, denying people choice in healthcare, squashing dissent in the media, etc.
Clearly this isn't being done in the effort to prevent another 9-11 style Islamist attack because the previous Islamist attacks we've seen on US soil were apparent in the online posts (and investigations of) radical Islamist jihadists in this country yet they were permitted to go about their deadly deeds and threats.
This president surrendered the "war on terror" when he took power.
sell? Good grief.
Truth, Logic, and Reason short circuits the ability of leftists to manufacture perception in venues where they don't have control.
Note to DOJ watchdogs:
It is incumbent upon the honorable craftsman to be aware of whether or not his services are being used as a means to accomplish evil ends - and to act (or NOT) accordingly.
Tell the damn Obama-Holder-Lynch Department of Just Us mob to stop making such Casses of themselves. Americans don't want a news or any other kind of czar and fetters.
Cass Sunstein recently left the Administration to become an employee of Harvard.
Coming to a neighborhood near you?
Good. I want them to have lots of evidence to convict me.
We need a nationwide draw Obama contest.
Is anybody surprised?
Wonderful animated graphic!
I’ve always assumed our posted remarks here were under scrutiny.
Somehow, my 870P doesn’t give a shiite.
