Obama administration collecting your phone records from Verizon

[mrwicked]

You all are funny. I've just begun to wade in on this political forum as I normal use twitter as my platform. Saying Liberals will be silent, I say bollocks. I lean left and you know what, I'm all for it what the NSA is doing.

I see the same people on multiple social platforms distributing their footprint both real and virtually without restraint. All of a sudden, we are in an uproar when the shit has been going down for almost decades. It is all a joke really.

I just don't understand this selective outrage to support a specific political narrative or POV. But that's just me. I will allow for you to return to your normal sophistry. I'm out.

 

The footprint distributed by liking a picture of your friends cat or broadcasting a youtube link on twitter is completely different than hoarding info and metadata from someone's calls/skypes/cloud drives/email/phone records/etc and using that for systematic populace profiling. With the former you have no expectation of privacy, but you definitely do with the latter.

 

IMO this should be causing a bigger uproar than it is.

I don't think our rights were protected BEFORE the Patriot Act. 

 

The difference: we just didn't know about it.

The Attorney General wrote a letter to the Russians promising not to torture or kill Snowden. The poblem with this is- how can he be sure that this promise won't be overridden by a secret court that we haven't yet had revealed to us by the next Snowden? How can we be sure that we have any rights left that haven't been struck down in secret court? 

 

GOD BLESS AMERICA?

Thanks Bush!

I wish that I could have told someone in 1984 "Guess what? In about 30 years we'll be promising Russia that we won't torture and kill our own citizens!"

Next thing you know, Clapper will go Clemens on us and say he misremembered.

 

"The least untruthful answer I could have given." I may have to use that. Translation: "Yes, I lied to you, but this one is a guppy compared to the whopper I could have dropped on you."

Snowden was granted asylum in Russia and has now left the airport. Lolz at Obama.

You know how you can tell when he's lying?

His lips are moving.

Funny how this story has been completely swept under the rug because of Obamacare and the gov't shutdown.

Deservedly so.

Maybe it's time to sweep the two party dictatorship under the rug.

Now we're just pissing off everyone.

ya the bill of rights and consitution has got to be one of the most inane narratives I've ever come across

If it's 'trust' you're looking for, don't look at Obama

I used to wonder why the world hates us so much.

 

 

Between drones, unnecessary wars, spying et al I don't really wonder at all anymore.

[St1ck]

You sure they don't hate us for our freedom? 

[Jay]

You sure they don't hate us for our freedom? 

 

Obama is trying to fix that

[St1ck]

Obama is trying to fix that

 

 

Just Obama? 

[TobiasFunke]

Yep Stick, Obama and only Obama in the last bunch of years have been doing his best to take away our freedom

Good news: the guy you voted for was the one that initiated this spying. It's been going on since Brad Fullmer was an Angel.

[mtangelsfan]

Rally I've missed you and your equivocation.

[RallyMo]

It's very much heartfelt, mt.
