Well, at the risk of sounding stupid, it seems that liberals are okay with whatever the Obama administration does.
The surveillance done by the Bush administration was outrageous to liberals because it was being done by Bush, not because they were outraged at threats to civil liberties. Likewise, liberals are okay with this happening under Obama, because it’s happening under Obama.
NSA data collection is nothing compared to IRS intimidation of a legitimate political movement.
That’s police state criminality.
Imagine if Bush had done that to MoveOn.org.
The riots would still be going on.
When ever did the Left give a damn about civil liberties?
The Left is a gang of commies that live to constrain.
The power of fascism is intoxicating. The leftists see a chance to dominate and they are all too excited.
Well DUH! Leftist socialists aren’t exactly known for honoring or preserving the rights of individuals. Idiots voted for these Constantine wanna-be’s, so they can’t complain when they get just exactly what they asked for.
Maybe if journalists like Milbank hadn’t spent the last 10 years likening Obama to the Messiah, people would be much more distrusting of him and his agenda.
Milbank is very wrong in his assertion that conservatives, by and large, thought Bush’s attacks on civil liberties were just hunky dory.
Maybe McCain and Grahamnesty were fine with it, but folks on FR and other conservative sites were incensed about it. They knew, rightly so, that in the hands of a Democrat regime, freedom would be further eroded.
Just like conservatives, they stop playing libertarian for public consumption once they have the power.
Voters (see Exhibit A: California) still hear only the lofty rhetoric long after the deeds have stopped matching the words.
Former Director of NSA Intelligence reveals the full extent of PRISM capabilities. MUST SEE!
Another William Benny interview about PRISM and the NSA
This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, and at this point, I am afraid only a general uprising by the American people themselves will be able to stop it.
‘’Where have all the liberals gone?’’
Where have all the liberal NEWSPAPERS gone, like the one Dana Milbank works for?
When Republican president Richard Nixon was engaged in wrongdoing, the Washington Post exerted every ounce of energy and resources it could muster to expose even the slightest inappropriate behavior on the president’s part. Yet when Democratic president Barack Obama commits crimes that are ten times worse against the Constitution and the American people, the Washington Post has been virtually silent.
Whereas, the hero of Watergate was the Washington Post, the hero of Obamagate has been the Guardian of London, which exposed the truth about what was going on in the American government because the liberal American newspapers have refused to do their jobs.
