So, then why didn't Obama stop it, dumbass? Ground breaking didn't start until 2010.Quote from Ricter:
Obviously, given the scale of the NSA's data center, the project was launched long before Obama.

"Democrats now view the NSAâs phone surveillance as acceptable by 64% to 34%. In January 2006, by a similar margin (61% to 36%), Democrats said it was unacceptable for the NSA to scrutinize phone calls and emails of suspected terrorists."
Fuck you democrat hypocrites and fuck bipartisanship. Now you know why. And RINOs: You got that you stupid fucking RINOs? No? I didnât think so.
And the rest of you who support this level of spying on us; why don't you just put cameras up in your house for the NSA. Make it easy for them...no wait...the drones will be able to see in your house. Research the tech they use if you're too stupid to know how.

yea i doubt that. His intent was to kill as many as possible and make everyone feel unsafe.
This NSA shit is simply wrong. The govt doesn't belong snooping through people's private conversations and I don't care what they say about just collecting 'meta data' they have access to every email, phone call, web search.. how is that not private and protected by the 4th Amendment? And what''s more, they say it works, but they couldn't catch that tsarnaev fuck, could they.. and he was singled out to them twice, and he had jihadi shit all over his youtube page. What's even worse is our govt/Pres can declare an American citizen an 'enemy combatant' and simply take away an AMERICAN CITIZENS RIGHTS.
Think about it: an individual makes anti establishment remarks, the NSA goes through his private information and finds enough out-of-context dirt on him to make him out to be a terrorist, govt declares him an enemy combatant and detains him/ships him off to gitmo without even a trial. Don't tell me it won't happen, cause no one knows, but it is obviously possible. And just like the IRS it will be abused. OUR govt was not designed to have this kind of authority over our lives, just the fact that it's possible is an abuse of power.
Quote from Ricter:
Easy to conclude that arguing politics is useless from this. The internet is loaded with people paid to keep liberals in a perpetually pissed off state anyhow. I do face to face talking with some republicans, they are unusually closed off to facts or any arguments. They don't know what the Bill of Rights is and they don't care. They want to run things with an iron fist typically. Republicans have a lot more in common with Hitler's Fascists than they do with Democrats. A friend of mine got absolutely trampled by some bitch of a county bureaucrat, I observed her lying in court like it was nothing new. So I did a little checking and found that she's far right, similar to Tea Partiers.

Neocon Rinos and Democrats are nearly identical, in policy and perspective.
They don't give a shit about the Constitution or liberty, except when it can be used as a political football.
Save for national health care, Obama's policies are *identical* to Bush, except more extreme.
You guys are fascists.

you know the rest.
Quote from Ricter:
No easy answer. Someone with a terror plan is going to be secretive about it, yet naturally we want to catch them before they do harm. So we have to dig. How much is too much? How big is the threat? I don't like this either, but it is apparent that terrorists are still making attempts.
