If this was really a game changer killer app the dims would be keeping it top secret.

In reality, this is just part of the standard dims are super smart techies and the GOP are stupid luddites meme. I don’t buy it at all.

Jimmy Carter with a tan can spin this all he wants but his record shows he isn’t qualified to manage a lemonade stand.

It should tell us something if the people around the Obama people are watching Obama’s porn-like fascination with drone assassinations and saying things like this:

“The Old Man said it – this is a war we are fighting here. Call it us against them – good vs evil…whatever. Call it whatever. I don’t give a sh-t what you wanna call it – just as long as we win and they lose, because if they win – it’s like Obama said himself – the fundamental transformation of America. They gonna tell us what to think. What to eat. What to drink. What to read. What to watch. And if somebody don’t like that…then you’ll be on a list now won’t you. And an order will be given. And later, sitting up in some second floor study will be that skinny ass Manchurian piece of sh-t playing it over and over again.”

Basically what we’ve got here is people recognizing that the foreign enemy combatant in our White House is about to make the 9-11 attack look like a walk in the park, if we give him the “latitude” of a 2nd term. Right after 9-11, party affiliation didn’t matter. For a short while we were just Americans - except for the people like those in Dearborn, MI who were dancing in the streets and the people like Jeremiah Wright who was telling his large “flock’ in Chicago that those people deserved to die in that way. For a while it didn’t matter to me that Rudy Guliani (sp?) was pro-choice; it only mattered that he recognized that the American way of peace and freedom was under attack and must prevail.

Obama was supposed to be this great uniter. Well, he is uniting people - uniting those who actually love what America stands for, like cream being separated out and gathering at the top. But he’s also an extreme divider, because his vision is so extreme that there is no way to sit on the fence. Either you favor drones flying all over America with Obama having the ability to use them to assassinate any American he wants to, at the touch of a button..... or you don’t. There’s no wiggle room there.

All they can do is try to hide from the public the reality that this is where we’re at right now. And that’s exactly what they’re trying to do.

Everyone should do a FOIA request to view their own personal files that the government is looking at.

I think a lot of Americans are getting beyond sick and disgusted at what’s going on but a person can’t start a rebellion all by himself. And how to vote out liars who regularly practice election fraud? And with a R party many (most?) of which are establishment gravy train riders and power mongers who double deal with Dems just to keep it all going and lining their pockets?

IMHO sooner or later a line will get crossed and then hell will break loose.

As I was surfing yesterday, many times when going between sites, a box in the upper quadrent would start running:

“Dashboard” while the computer was redirecting to my requested site.

Reading on Drudge that Dashboard is Zer0’s new data gathering operation, a little while ago I googled “Dashboard” and lo and behold up came Zer0’s hope and change logo, and sign-in instructions.

The bastard is data mining all of us!


Take a look at what Noob1999 said above.

The action figure is too ‘meaty’, and the ears don’t stand out.

And please, no swords/katanas of any kind. He probably only uses the Xbox controller (for any action role playing).

I sure hope that you used an untraceable email account to send those.

And thank you for sending them.

But they can’t handle the truth. :/

“More and more accurate data means more insight, more money, more message distribution, and more votes.”

So how is Romney raising more money than Obama?

Thanks for the Pings.

So, Team "Obama" can data mine to discover what I had for lunch yesterday, but can't put together a decent forgery. Go figure.

"IMHO sooner or later a line will get crossed and then hell will break loose."

That's where we're at, and that is what [unfortunately] I am hoping for. Let's clear the air...

Right on with your analysis... it’s all posturing by the propagandizing Politico.

The theory behind the data mining fails when you consider the scale.

Custom tailoring the webpage image (or robo-call) to the person being bothered with the advertising is a daunting task when you have to reach 130 million people.

Let me suggest (cynically) that taking this highly sophisticated approach and dumping it into robo-call technological capability is like pouring vintage wine into a dirty "red solo cup" that has a hole in the bottom.

The message will not be well received!

Bingo my kids 15 and 13 keep asking “ why are you guys prepping so much why so much ammo, water and food?” I just tell them what if? What if there is an earthquake or a natural disaster of some sort. We want to be prepared for anything. They still think we are nuts. LOL

One of these days, they’ll have it down to the point where they can identify the couple thousand or so voters that are needed to swing the election to their side.

They'll be on stand-by like swat teams.
