The NSA are a bunch of juvenile wankers who live in their mothers’ basement and are de-selected Beta “males.”

No.

The NSA members of Congress and the President are a bunch of juvenile wankers who live in their mothers’ basement and are de-selected Beta “males.”

The NSA were hired to do a job. It's not one I'd want to think I would do. But keep the responsibility where it belongs. Our government is doing this to us.

Has anyone done a return on investment analysis....

Not to get off track, but that reminds me of how I shake my head everytime I hear Obama talking about "investments in our future". Government never met a negative ROI it didn't love. And that's the beauty of it - the program thus never has to go away, it just needs more money thrown at it.

But the accused has to prove it.

You go ahead and keep believing that.. They may have young minds, but their idea’s on warfare are from very old school and not all of them are basement dwellers.

Exactly how many terrorists has this allowed us to capture?

At least one. They used the phone records of the Boston Marathon bombers to identify the third throat slasher in the previous murders.

Then they shot him eighteen times when the eight hour interrogation was slowing down.

I’ve long suspected that many amazingly lucky traffic stop drug busts weren’t lucky at all.

But that's okay, because they are druggies and drug abusers shouldn't have rights. Except when it's an overweight guy on AM radio that we like....then it's a political witch hunt and the rules shouldn't apply to him. But them others can rot in a jail cell. Or Hell. Or something. Because they're bad and didn't do as they were told.

Re: The Lives of Others

At my parents’ house, Holder is referred to as “Markus Wolf”.
Due to the Pajama Boy crap, the name Obama was not to be uttered at the house on Christmas Day. Instead we referred to him as Party Secretary.

CW2 close, but the authoritarians want us to fire the first shot. They’ll need to stage something so that the drones can lend popular support and shout USA, USA!
Kristalnacht occurred after a French Jew killed a Nazi ambassador Paris. We all know that the Reichstag was staged; a low IQ Dutch guy was set up as a patsy, and the incident was blamed on Hitler’s major opponents- the communists.

James Otis:
The use of writs of assistance (general search warrants) in Massachusetts 1761 , “ Everyone with this writ may be a tyrant; if this commission be legal, a tyrant in a legal manner, also, may control, imprison, or murder any one within the realm ... it is perpetual; there is no return...Every man may reign secure in his petty tyranny, and spread terror and desolation around him.”

No, I only mock conspiracy theory nonsense. The NSA chief is blowing smoke. He’s trolling people like you, and you’re falling for it. But don’t listen to me, go back to reading Infowars and reciting that corny “First they came” poem.

I think you’re being way too optimistic. Lot of people here see the coming danger, and it doesn’t do anyone any favors to A) attack them as crazy,
B) Deny the obvious.

It’s not tin foil hat stuff to see what’s plain as day.

LOL, yeah, like conspiracies about the NSA trapping and keeping all our emails, all our web activity, all our electronic communications. You know, like the stuff they admitted. Conspiracies, you know. Tin foil hat stuff.

Wow.

I take it back. When the whip does come down, I *will* smile to myself because I will know that you will be feeling the boot across your neck, too.

And that will make me very happy.

Tin foil hat?? For thinking we are in a police state?

Well I have a little personal horror story for you. I’m a pain management physician in WI. I prescribe narcotic for chronic pain, so I need to do urine drug testing for obvious reasons. The Medicare Nazis hit me with a coding violation and they are threatening fines of 200k and accusing me of fraud. This is despite the fact that our claims were never denied, AND, my billing person frequently and routinely checked with the local Medicare carrier in Madison to verify that the codes were correct. Medicare never published any coding changes with the carrier in Madison, but they are contending that we should have known. Hopefully, I can settle with them.

But if I can’t, and they start going after my liberty all I can say is come and take it. There are so many laws and regulations now that a federal violation is nearly impossible to avoid. Those imprisoned under such regulations are really no different than political prisoners in a concentration camp.

This government is certainly capable of great evil, and if something isn’t done to turn things around real soon, we are looking at a new dark age.

If you are carrying your phone with you, they don’t need to stop you at a state border or the nation’s border. They’ve got you covered.

If you are not carrying a phone with you, then you become suspicious and a unknown threat.

Unapproved books? They are educating most of the children in the USA and they are patient and thinking long term when the book reading population fade to dust.

The firearms still present a problem to them.

I'm not sure what you're on, but my comment had nothing to do with the validity of drug laws, nor the disparate fan bases of crack addicts and Rush Limbaugh. To my knowledge, I've never read a single post of FR condoning illegal searches of scumbags.

The conspiracy theory is in thinking that this is leading to jackbooted thugs on every street corner, breaking down doors and rounding up undesirables. This isn't the next Nazi regime, Obammy isn't Hitler (he couldn't plan a takeover if you gave him a roadmap), the NSA cheif isn't Himmler.

Just for the record, regardless of how dire you think things are, it's really hard to take you seriously when you use phrases like "may the chains rest lightly" and "when the whip comes down".
