(Vanity) - Political correctness is the cause of general intercepts

It would seem as though we all have government snooping wrong. They are not prying, they are like cockroaches when the lights come on. They are scurrying, hiding, defenseless. There is a reason they must spy on us all. What is that reason?

Political Correctness.

If the federal government is watching you, it is because the Liberal left wing politicians have neutered them. Trust me / They would rather profile.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree the government has been handicapped by political correctness, i.e. profiling EVERYONE instead of the obvious terrorists?

Will good men stand up and act like men, or will they sleep in their lies?

Jihad is a subset of Terrorism.

If we are having a War on Terrorism, we need to bring Bill Errs in again and string him up.

I think our government is corrupt and I don’t think Stasi is too strong a comparison. Look at the IRS...it’s not paranoia, they are targeting citizens.

I think we’ve moved beyond PC-ism into deeper waters. It’s political and at the moment, we aren’t on the right side of the political beast.

Pssst,, they aren’t -AFTER- terrorists. They are after absolute control of the electorate, and after preventing any challenge to establishment power. Such as TEA, Constitutionalists, etc.

If they were after terrorists, would the borders be wide open?
Would we import moslems wholesale after every fight they have with civilization (Chechyns, Somalis, Egyptians, Saudis, Iraqis, Afghans, Pakistanis, etc etc,,) Their numbers are up five fold since 9/11.
If Terrorists were the target, would DHS and FBI scrub their training clean of ANY reference to moslems being the main threat?
If Terrorists were the Target would Hassan have been promoted when he was known to be communicating with AL Qeida recruiters?
If Terrorists were the target, would cases like the flying imams STILL be refused the ability to sue citizens who report their suspicious behaviors in good faith?
If we wanted to stop Terror would we arm Al Qeida in Egypt, Libya and Syria?

No, they are not after terrorists. The net is wide because it is aimed right at the bulk of the American electorate.

Good men will acknowledge that America is in decline and there's no going back.

The former "America" is now nothing more than a land mass populated by moochers, cretins, ingrates, and parasites who have absolutely no respect for the military and who vote for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors so that it may be “redistributed” to them in exchange for their votes. It is not an America worth defending anymore. That America no longer exists.

The Democrats have won.

Good men will hunker down, stay under the radar, protect their families, and hide and protect whatever they can from the government and its enabling parasitic hordes. Good men will rise above the disgrace that surrounds them and live their lives productively for the benefit of their families and their children. Good men will continue to love and laugh and have some fun.

Correction;

If Terrorists were the target, would cases like the flying imams STILL be ALLOWED (not refused) the ability to sue citizens who report their suspicious behaviors in good faith?

Some good men will retreat, sure. But the laws of nature are just, and social constructs will not be won by edict.

Some good men will retreat, sure.

It depends on the meaning of "retreat{" (ie., I do not equate "retreat" with "surrender"), as well as precisely what it is that good men are retreating "from". If your house is on fire, you stay and fight the fire, and try to save the house with everything you have. But if the flaming rafters are falling down upon your head, you get out of there. The house is gone; that story is over.

But the laws of nature are just, and social constructs will not be won by edict.

The laws of nature are mercilessly just, but social constructs are always in flux and the weaker the "society", the more in flux and subject to propaganda and manipulation that society is.

Increasing acceptance of homosexual "marriage" is a good, contemporary example. Through a hi-tech version of the Alinsky "Diamond Tactic", with the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms providing multiple facets of the diamond, Americans look in every direction and wonder if they are being left behind by (what looks like) the rest of America. That is, they wonder if they are indeed "on the wrong side of history".

There's a reason kids today still use phrases like, "That's so gay," as a deragatory comment. Kids understand naturally - - instinctively - - that there is just something sick about a man pushing his penis into another man's anus full of sh**. It's one of those things nobody needs to teach, and it is why homosexuals instinctively feel ashamed of what they are and what they do, and why they suffer the tears of a clown even as they march with fake smiles in fake "pride" parades.

It's like the communist Democrats thinking they can create what Austrian economists called "the socialist man". It cannot be done because it is simply antithetical to human nature. It's the same with homosexuality - - it will always give normal people the creeps, just as it has for thousands of years, and there's nothing the liberals can do about it.

Yet here we are. Rationality and gut instinct are once again on a collision course with liberalism.
Like matter meeting antimatter - - sooner or later there will be an explosion. There has to be.

I fear you are right. However, a righteous man will always fight for what is good even as a wise man prepares.

Is it possible to be both?

Have Americans stood up to the systematic hand rape at the airports? Not even when they terrorize a little girl in a wheelchair and her helpless mom and sister. Not even when they stick their dirty hands in the wounds of surgery victims. As far as Americans are concerned, being sexually abused by government agents at the airports is keeping them safe.

We are like any other third world stink hole of cleptocrats with no freedom and nearly half the people in this country are immigrants from the third world. They know no different. They are happy to have their heads and free food and housing.
