Fear mongering...when will it end?


Who is actually fear mongering here? You're the one trying to scare everyone away from the big bad NSA.

That has already been shown to abuse the power?

The shite isn't hypothecial tin foil hat.


They've already done it and it's publically known.

So says the organization looking up ex wives data. Clearly we need to believe them blindly.

The NSA did that themselves. Or do you think that, like the IRS, they'll never abuse their power?

The NSA and it's lackeys are trying to justify their illegal (sorry, secretly legal) intrusion into our lives by continually screaming "TERRORISTS!". It's been one long parade of scare tactics.

And these Republican folks had no problem with it when Bush was doing it.

I am continually amazed by how many people are okay with this invasion in privacy. IF there was no concern about how it would have been perceived by the public, this program should have been made known at the onset. However, officials (i dont care if they were republican or democrat) knew how most would react. Since they kept it quiet, they were able to write the script to show that the program has been "potentially effective" in disrupting terrorist activity.

While, this exact process of data collection may not be a direct intrusion, its just another start into overreach of the government that will not stop or back up.

Consider privacy like an iceberg. Maybe a little melting really want impact the iceberg, but if you continue to do the things causing the iceberg to melt, at some point, the iceberg well completely melt away. But, hey, maybe iceberg melting isnt a big deal either.

What's funny, is the same actions you condemned Bush on, you now support Obama on. Hypocrisy, table for 1.
