Can't a person look at dirty dirty porn in piece anymore?? Dang government trying to monitor things im looking at.

And to think at one time I had high hopes for the Obama administration. In many ways he is no better than what we had under Bush.

[kracker]

whats crazy is they claim to be " monitoring" for terrorism activity when its actually the government who is terrorizing us.....slowly but surely EVERY civil liberty is being stripped away from us....and we are allowing it to happen....

I like this. This definately makes sense, I mean look at how well it has worked in the past, China, Fascist Italy, Soviet Russia are all great examples.

Quoted from article comments:


Why must we as americans question the motives of every action our goverment takes.Of one thing to be sure ,it is for our own good.Today its privacy,why should we as people keep secrets from our goverment,it only leads to mistrust.For example,if you think your neighbor is comitting misdeeds turn him in to the authorites,they will sort it out.If so they will be punished accordingly,if not you have performed your patriotic duty.by not witholding secrets.o.k.instead of calling your senator or congressman to complain call to tell them how much you appreicate their hard work for your benifit..Remember that you should love and respect your leaders for their guidence,they are only there for your good.Try to stay in step,a controled society is a sucessful society,respect the wisdom of authority

Wiretapping and surveillance has nothing to do with socialism.

You're right, it's just infringing on privacy.
