It was wrong then, but not now? lol
Not to mention, that was for terrorists, Obama wants to know who is talking shit about him.
Yeah, it's a little different when the government asks you to report suspicious terrorist activity vs. asking you to report people with opposing views on healthcare reform...

Isn't that what you guys are complaining about here in this thread? Unnecessary Government programs?
All that matters is the privacy agreement. Anyone who signs it turns over ALL their files and actions to the U.S. government, who can then share it with ANY foreign agency. If you're cool with that, go right ahead.
As for the fools who come in here chirping about the "Patriot Act", did that law allow the government to take CONTROL of your computer? To monitor your actions while online? To inspect every single file?
Or did it allow the NSA to monitor a conversation between an Al Qaeda member in Pakistan and a terrorist here?
Understand the facts.
I don't consider the taxes I pay a gift to the central state. I see it as nothing less than extortion. If I don't pay, I am fined and eventually jailed.
The central state is a thug with a shotgun. Nothing more.
That said, Obama and his cronies are animals in the same way Bush and his cronies were animals. They deserve our disgust, but they are only doing what animals do. It is to those who give the central state more trust and credibility than it has earned that I cast a wary eye.
Those who believe Bernanke... those who trust Obama... those who blindly placed their faith in Cheney and Bush after 2001... those who voted based upon ignorance, blind faith, and unreasonable optimism in the lies told from the stump... those who have little to no understanding with regard to economic theory...
*They* scare me most of all.
Nevermind, you are one of those fucking morons that bitched when Bush asked people to turn in terrorists, but think it's ok for Obama to collect a list of people that oppose his views.
You are a fucking retard and I would gladly pay anyone here that lives in your area $200 to mushroom slap you.
Yes, but keeping an eye out for Terrorists is not "Unnecessary."
And what happens to the bloggers who are being "reported" ?
Yes, and don't you think that's why it's time to stop letting F'ing illegals in? and Even put a yearly cap on legal immigration? Don't we have to look out for our own citizens before we accept the poor from 3rd world countries?
Uh...there is a yearly cap on legal immigration. It is in fact, very difficult to get in and stay in this country legally, and harder still to become a citizen. And asking if we should stop letting illegals in is like asking if we should stop allowing car theft. We don't allow it, but people break the law anyway.
I only point these things out because when you allow such drivel to fall out of your mouth, its hard for anyone to take any valid points you might have seriously.
Bottom line is if a democrat is in office, health and education are getting money. If a republican is in office, defense is getting money. Regardless of who is in office, money is getting spent (the last guy proved that pretty well doubling our national debt) AND regardless of who is in office, your personal liberties are getting taken daily (again, patriot act).
ummm Faux News link. Try again.
