Agreed. A whole sh*tload of our government jumped the shark today.

Top of my BOLO list: Feinstein, Chambliss and Reid.

Exclamation The federal government appears to have been secretly tapping the nation’s largest Internet companies

And more is coming to light:
By CHARLIE SAVAGE and EDWARD WYATT

Published: June 6, 2013


http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/07/us...s-data.html?hp

"The federal government appears to have been secretly tapping the nation’s largest Internet companies going back nearly six years — including Google, Facebook and, most recently, Apple — according to documents that emerged on Thursday even as officials confirmed they had been compiling a vast library of Americans’ phone call records in the fight against terrorism. "
Justifiably, the NY Times Editorial states that Obama has "lost all credibility" in that assertion:
"the Obama administration issued the same platitude it has offered every time President Obama has been caught overreaching in the use of his powers: Terrorists are a real menace and you should just trust us to deal with them because we have internal mechanisms (that we are not going to tell you about) to make sure we do not violate your rights." The administration has now lost all credibility on this issue. Mr. Obama is proving the truism that the executive branch will use any power it is given and very likely abuse it." http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/07/op...gnet.html?_r=0
"FORWARD"

They are just 2 shades of the same shihhttt, NEITHER care for us. As long as people accept this, it will continue to get worse. The only one's threatening our freedom is our own government, and the idiots who believe & vote according to government fear mongering propaganda.

I second that!! Most of you people are pathetic in here. Just a bunch of mindless sheep.

"It's ok if my party does it"

Wake Up Dumbasses, both parties are the same, and they do not care about you one bit.

"It's ok, spy on me, I have nothing to hide." Do You? They write so many new laws everyday you have no clue what the laws are anymore.

Read some history people, it does repeat itself.

This stuff is not good at all.

Believable. Americans have become complete cowards. They would rather live like a dog in a cage if it gave them even a slight sense of false security.
