There is no point being angry and complaining about this anymore. The pussified American public will deserve everything that the government has in store for it. We have a department of "homeland security", secret police, secret government domestic spy programs, spy drones over our houses, radiological strip-searches and I'm sure a lot more stuff we don't know abut. You would think people would eventually have enough here in the "land of the free". I guess I was wrong to think so.
Are you living under rock?
does everyone here seem happy about this to you?
That is a stupid remark and you know it. We can not prevent every strike. The ones that are detected, disrupted and prevented are the ones we don't hear about. It is, frankly, remarkable how well the government has performed in preventing terrorist attacks in the US since 9/11.
The ones they "get" that we read about are due to the FBI/CIA setting the guys up to begin with.
The ones that actually get away with it are not FBI/CIA plots.
This is what you guys wanted when bush started the ball rolling with the patriot act, now we have this. Not scumbag obama but simply scumbag elected reps !

Nope we haven't learned a damn thing all we do is continue on our blissful way blind to everything all the while worrying about the next "terrorist" attack while our government kills and murders innocent civilians and thus creating more "terrorists"

This is authorized and monitored by Congress.
This is approved by the Federal Courts.
All branches of government are involved. Don't like it, get Congresmen and Senators in to repeal the Patriot Act.
That would be nice but to many people only see D and R not ideas, not plans just simply D's and R's

Maybe not here, but the people on these types of forums represent a very small percentage of the population. Every one of the senators who are up supporting this will get reelected.
You are getting carried away. Cross referencing billions of phone calls a day looking for people exchanging calls with known or suspected terrorists is not "prying eyes". It is good, preventative detective work. The same goes for the "ability" to see internet traffic as has been reported. I certainly would hope that all available technology is being used and we are not just letting terrorists organize and operate unfettered.
Given their track record over at the IRS, I don't trust them to only go after terrorists.
Quit trying to stop terrorist attacks. Let the terrorists do what they want. They'll kill a few thousand of us each year, but oh well. That is the price of "freedom".
How about we switch our foreign policy, and stop screwing around in the Middle East!
