What happens if they started "visiting your house" when you're not home ?
No big deal right ? I mean..if you are not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to fear.
Not like they are doing it when you're home and would be inconvenienced.
They'll just search it when you're not home.

Remember...you're giving up your right to privacy. It would just be a "moderate" infringement on your rights.

And don't tell me they can't do that.
Don't tell me they need "probably cause".
Don't tell me I have rights.

We just allowed them to encroach those rights.
Do you think they will be happy with phone calls and internet data ?
They will want more.

Like what? Overthrowing democratically elected governments all over the world and installing puppet regimes friendly to U.S. corporate interests?

Like creating al-Qaeda?

What have they done to protect our LIBERTY?

They're not "protecting" us from jack squat. They're endangering us by interfering in the affairs of sovereign nations and spying on innocent American citizens.

This can't be true!

I remember chanting "Yes We Can" over and over again right before I fainted as the Messiah, Obama the Great, promised no warrantless wiretaps.

Attack the messenger everyone. The messenger is a RWNJ racist!

Try reading the article before having a knee jerk reaction to protect your shepherd:

From the article: "If the NSA wants "to listen to the phone," an analyst's decision is sufficient, without any other legal authorization required, Nadler said he learned. "I was rather startled," said Nadler, an attorney and congressman who serves on the House Judiciary committee."

HOPE AND CHANGE LOL!!!


"For one thing, under an Obama presidency, Americans will be able to leave behind the era of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and wiretaps without warrants" -Obama in 2008

Obama is a fraud.

Gimme a break. They are the ones that created this boogieman that's out to kill us all in our sleep.
But never fear, they will be the ones to save us from the monster they created.

Do not take the stories at face value.
They are defending their encroachment of our rights with stories of how this has caught terrorists and saved us.

I read about the NYC subway bomber terrorist.
They said this NSA data gathering is how they caught him.

The Intel official was wrong and CBS didn't even bother to go back and read the true story.

A Pakistani informant ratted on him to the FBI.
The FBI got a warrant to do a roving tap (means the tap is on the person, not a specific phone number).

Took all of 5 minutes to uncover the truth.
And then I tried to comment on the CBS article saying it was wrong and what the true story was.
My comment went to the moderators for "approval" and my comment got "denied".

You are being fed total BS by the government and the press is doing nothing to correct them.

Obama is a fraud.
I found nothing in the article that states the NSA DID listen in on phone calls as the headline says.
