THAT is who will be thrown under the bus and Obama et al. will pretend the problem is solved.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Yes but only after they gather all the intel on naysayers.
That is unless the server gets overwhelmed WITH THE REQUEST or something.

Someone asked about this on yahoo answers

Someone said the ACLU has made a statement KINDA against this. Color me shocked.

But the [ACLU] added, "While it is unclear at this point what the government is doing with the information it is collecting, critics of the administration's health care proposal should not fear that their names will end up in some government database that could be used to chill their right to free speech."

Remember the Patriot Act and the contortions these same folks displayed when it came to library books?

inserting their addy is even better than forwarding them all the spam. Great idea! Hell it’ll be rotary as nobama is probably the sender of all those Nigerian get rich emails.

Obama is a disgusting thug! We will stop him.

[sanjoaquinvalley]

He can if we retake the house and senate. If Bush had even suggested something like this they would have him in leg irons by now.

Did you guys and gals know that Hitler used to be a community organizer before rising to power? hhhhhmmmm????

[WoofDog123]

exactly. I am pretty sure the DHS report naming vets and others as being worth special attention etc. was the same thing, they knew they would have to ‘withdraw’ the report; the intent was to create an ambiance of intimidation and fear, even just a little. The message is there for all to see..

The Lives of Others is absolutely outstanding. Everybody on this thread should see it. Not just for the obvious look at surveillance issues, but for its expose on communism in practice: the personalities, the apparatus, the corruption, and the death of humanity. We'd be in a far better place right now if the idiots in Hollywood would have the balls to release a film that dared to eviscerate Lenin and ideologues the way "Lives" does. The entire film revolves around Lenin's statement about the Appasionata and the violent death of ones humanity in the face of ideology.

I've been telling everybody I know about that movie for the past several months. I watched it for the 5th or 6th time last Saturday and it really got to me in the wake of the White House's citizen snitch program. I was drafting a new thread to promote it on this site, but didn't want to be a noob posting a vanity thread.

“We’d be in a far better place right now if the idiots in Hollywood would have the balls to release a film that dared to eviscerate Lenin and ideologues”

The idiots in Hollywood are neo-Marxists. See, e.g., Robert Redford. Don’t expect anything out of them except movies praising communists.
