Between this and this and this, are those who continually point out questionable actions & the obvious patterns of the current administration really crying wolf? The left media immediately went into blame Bush mode, forgetting that GW had sunset clauses in his version of the Patriot Act which Obama had removed, but neither GW nor Dick were accused of spying on Americans.


At which point do we begin calling it for it really is, tyranny?

if bush+co is such a non-comparable why are you already his apologist?

if you had sarah p (or similar) in the white house and the same shit or a more extensive version (the more likely scenario) were happening you would (still) be riding around on your go-kart with a smile a foot wide.

it is now tyranny because you don't like the guy in the white house.

If Sarah was looking at ALL AMERICANS, yes, I would be as pissed. I pointed out the GW thing because they were already using it.

Now, can you have a fucking conversation on what the current administration is doing, or will you continue to dodge & change the subject, as usual?

Never mind, I already know the answer.

they are looking at all americans with the surveillance thing.

if you are talking about IRS targeting teabagger groups, well, pardon me for laughing my ass off. you right-wing ultrablowhard types have used every means at your disposal since the beginning of time to harass "commies" and other "enemies" such as black civil rights activists. HA HA HA OH NO THE OPPRESSION IS SO REAL NOW THAT IT"S YOU

HA

if you wanted to talk about the current admin why did you start off with backpedaling into bush?

IT's ONLY REAL NOW that your guy ain't in office.

LOL.

I stand by that. What's the difference?

The Bush administration used it to target international calls, to & from nations where we have
specific issues. Not domestic calls.

The Bush administration, and the Republican majority Congress, had a two-year sunset clause
built into that legislation. The Obama administration & the Democrat majority Congress removed
that clause.

I will say that, now that we're no longer fighting a War on Terror, I'd like to see the Patriot Act
die (ugh oh, it can't). So maybe the Democrat controlled Senate will align itself with the Republican
controlled House & rescind the Patriot Act. While they are at it, let us bring home all our men and
women in uniform from Iraq & Afghanistan, since we are no longer fighting a war to win.

Keep digging minx, you'll also find me saying that traditionally, during war, we've lost rights and
freedoms which we've regained after the fighting was done. Well. listening to the current
administration, the fighting is done.

Giving up liberty for security is never justified, no matter what the war. But there was no "war" to begin with as you cannot have a war against something intangible.

Not to mention congress never declared a war since WWII. All these actions were unconstitutional to begin with as well.

And don't forget about this NSA whistle blower:


The idea that the government wants to go after terrorists is a ruse. They use "terrorism" as a red herring. They want to go after enemies of the state.

Yeah, the last pres. screwed up some of our liberties, and that justifies this pres making them 10x worse.

yer right minx
all those decades of the the Rooskie threat that we lived under
turned out to be a freakin' ruse, the cold war never turned hot.
But this living in terror from terrorists? c'mon we so aren't gonna fall for that.
they night sploede a pressure cooker or light off their underwear from time to time
and yeah sure one day I fully expect them to smuggle in a nuke
(yanno on the illegal alien superhighway)
and vaporize a couple a million Americans
but hey WTF
is a small price to pay to keep on getting twinkies and ding dongs doncha agree?

what point are you trying to raise? if you don't understand how the nature of the threats we face has changed, i can't help you. i certainly don't approve of this level of scrutiny. but gonz's efforts to place blame and excuse his dipshit heroes from it are obvious and laughable at best. keeping the locals in line is a bi-partisan charade. and it has been going on for decades. jeez it's like gotholic is years ahead of you in some respects... o_O
