"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed." --Sarah Palin,
It take a really special kind of person to think she's smart.
I should have known better than to post a source from the "Heritage Foundation."
Heres another source listing terrorist attacks that have been stopped by the NSA. Lets see if you can discredit this one.

Your link does not credit this because of NSA spying on it's citizens. Rather it credits the Patriot Act for allowing groups to share information.
I don't think anyone will argue that they shouldn't be able to share information. There still does need to be checks here but if the Russians inform the CIA that they had better watch out for someone, it's O.K. with me for them to inform the FBI to get on it.
1st of all, did you discredit my 2nd source listing terrorists attacks that have been stopped by the NSA ??
2nd of all, you said that (I/my posts) are more dangerous than the bomb's in my 14 second video link (Do you honestly believe that?)
Do you think the CIA put a microchip in your brain ??
(I can control the microchip with my computer, I am about to program you to stop talking to me.)
All I'm pointing out is that YOU claimed the link YOU posted to the Heritage Foundation proved that the NSA and the Patriot act had prevented 50 terrorist attacks. It didn't, the Heritage Foundation link never claimed that those terrorist attacks were stopped by the NSA or Patriot Act, only you did. When someone pointed it out you brushed it off as some sort of dishonesty on the part of the Heritage Foundation which couldn't be less true. You were wrong and misleading, not the link you posted or the Heritage Foundation.
I'll ignore all of your tinfoil nutjob comments about microchips in people's brains, you can take that left wing crap somewhere else.

I am under the impression that the Patriot Act created the NSA. Or perhaps it allowed the NSA to be created?
How on Earth can anyone say that the NSA is not doing a good job ??
I call bs on this unless someone shows exactly what 50 attacks were thwarted. I think it's a lame claim to make people feel more secure about the massive invasions of privacy going on in this country.
I think it's a way to keep the bobble heads nodding their approval for this sham of an administration.
“Our government spied on every single one of your phone calls,” she said, “but it couldn’t find two pot-smoking deadbeat Bostonians with a hotline to terrorist central in Chechnya. Really? And it’s built apparatus to sneak into all of the good guys’ communications, but oopsy-daisy! It missed the Fort Hood mass-murder of our own troops, despite this Islamic terrorist declaring his ideology in numerous army counseling sessions and on his own business cards. But no red flags there. Really?”
Yeah, I know, you hate Sarah Palin because she is pretty and dumb and married to an Union Member Eskimo and did not abort her Down Syndrome Baby but.....
She is right.
I hope you don't mind if I use this!
