The Nazis made sure everyone had radios. The radios were used for propaganda. Hmmm... I don't know about you but I'm more concerned with tyranny than terrorism.
You're forced to carry a phone? Really?!
I guess you missed the recent iPhone/Apple articles about no longer holding your location data for a year.
Yep, it's all Obama's fault.

Do you not watch the news? See, you don't even know what your own president is doing behind your back. Starting next year, all cell phones will have these chips in them. The regime says it's to alert people of attacks, emergency broadcast systems or Amber Alerts.
But why stop there? Why not let you know where the nearest Starbucks is too? At least do something more useful, if you are going to have your hand up my a$$.

Yeah, next time he wants us all to know that 'the police acted stupidly' he won't have to wait for the news shows to come on.

The last thing I want is a text message from Obama. How about Obama putting a chip in his Blackberry so I can send a couple of suggestions while he’s about to make a long golf putt.

Yes, for work.

Sadly many won’t protest when the government says we all need a chip inserted under our skin for “your own safety.”

You must be a newbie here or blind. Repug is used to represent hypocritical republicans, at least in my book it is.

That's funny,because I didn't hear it from Fox News. So do your research and see that it is true, and then bend over and kiss your freedoms goodbye. Once you start getting txt from Obama, then you will see that we are right and you were wrong.

It is pretty darned easy to get the word out now at the state and local levels. Shameful how people let their freedom from the federal government be continually ebbed away and allow a larger and more controling central gocernment to grow, all in the name of making life "easier".
