To my (neo)conservative and Republican friends...

Really.... My library records? Without notifying me?

What part of 70,000 FBI National Security letters didn't you understand?

It's OK.. We've infiltrated their organization now.

 

[deltex1]

Who is outraged, Gertrude?

 

[Liberty]

republicans the country over are freaking out about their 4th amendment rights now, but when bush was doing the same thing...ya know what, forget it. 99% of voters love the status quo, yet keep bitching about it being bad. For fucks sake, get it together.

 

[jwoodie]

Bush wasn't collecting FBI records on political opponents, like Clinton did, or using the IRS as a political weapon. Do you notice a pattern here, or are you a complete moron?

P.S. I am not your friend.

[Dot Com]

good point. Bush II didn't fool around w/ pesky warrants either.

If democrats are so outraged now, why didn't they stop it in 2009? Not much room to talk. For fucks sake, YOU get it together.

 

[hortysir]

I was

Many others were, too.

Our government would never do anything against its constituents' wishes

 

[flacaltenn]

OMG --- The finger-pointing RIGHT NOW is awfully dam childish and annoying..

No cookies for you kids tonight.. I'm outta here..

 

[francoHFW]

They'll do anything Sean Rushbeck tells them to...

 

[ScienceRocks]

Both parties are working on taking our right away. They want to watch our every move like Cuba, USSR and China.

Both Republican and democratic members that support spying on Americans can kiss my ass.

you're an idiot for assuming I am a democrat. Keep buying into the false left/right paradigm like there is any difference and keep seeing your country fall apart. The tribal "MY TEAM IS BETTER THAN YOURS!" mindset is why these corrupt douchebag politicians can take advantage of us.

 

[OKTexas]

Can't blame me, I told my congress critters not to vote for the original or the re-authorizations. So carry on.

 

[AmyNation]

Not everyone is outraged. I've seen several conservatives who supported the PA then and support it now.

When there have been multiple opportunities to stop this law, and repeal it, nobody, AND I MEAN NOBODY took the chance. I apologize for making an assumption about your political affiliation, but you did call me a "neo-conservative." I can only assume since liberals use these terms as pejoratives. I don't buy into the left right paradigm, by the way. I am a staunch Libertarian, as many people on this board already know. No team is better than the other. We all need to be ONE team, hence the term "United" in United States.

Now, it is pleasing to meet a fellow Libertarian. Let us fight this battle together, friend.

 

[whitehall]

Blame Bush (again?). The left was outraged about leaks to the media that the Bush administration would monitor overseas calls to suspected terrorist organizations and now they are fine with the NSA monitoring everybody. The difference of course is a neo-socialist administration doing the monitoring.

Bush open the door and Obama walks right in.

 

[blackhawk]

Wasn't the NSA monitoring overseas phone calls to suspected terrorist under the Bush administration? Is this what the NSA is doing under Obama or they taken it a wee bit farther?

Well aren't you special? I know 6 democrats who are STILL for it.. ONe has a nuclear suitcase and the other 5 are on the Intelligience Committees in Wash, DC..

Guess I win this huh?
