Democrats love to spy on Americans?

I'm not sure I agree on everything in this article, and some of it is misleading, but I

mainly think Democrats are just plain cowards and are scared of the fallout that

they may face if they ever give up their power. Most dictators are, and have been,

cowards throughout history. It's their nature and the only way they know to govern:

by direct rule, nothing but absolute tyranny. When it is apparent they are about to lose

their power, they usually act like a cornered wild animal, or just run away.

The problem with spying on everybody is that all statists, regardless of political stripe like it.  What they have to do is to keep it quiet.  Snowden messed that up; and with the light shinin in, the rats are running.  That is why some Democrats are aghast at this reprehensible behavior.

 

Most everybody understands the Fourth Amendment.  You cant square what's goin on with PRISM phone and email surveillence monkeybusiness with the Fourth Amendment, and most everyone understands that.  You simply are not "safe in your person, papers, ect..." with this program lookin at your phone calls and e-mails without a warrant to do so.  That's the problem.

 

Some Democrats and Statist Republicans are makin up fanciful tales about how we are somehow "safer" because they are listening.  I say "baloney"; and i believe lots of other folks are sayin that too.   The fact is that anyone who backs this sort of stuff is lookin more and more like "Uncle Joe Stalin" and less and less like "Uncle Sam"; and most people understand that (...with the exception of the "low information" folks and the political hacks...).  Popular political opinion is turnin against these clowns, and it well should. 

 

I remember when the Democrats were all for the First and Fourth Amendment.

That's the basis of the "hippie revolution" and protests that changed the american landscape.  I think it is hilarious that the same nasty haired, smelly, long haired, mangy questioners of the immutable laws have now got a haircut, got elected to government office (...or worse, became bureaucrats...), stole a bunch of money, gave up their "ideals" (..assumin they had some...), and then became what they professed to hate some 40 or 50 years ago.  

 

The time of the democrats bein able to stand up with the mantle of indignation wrapped around themselves sayin that "bush is a facist and is spyin on us" is over.  They've got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. The same goes for the stinkin republican jackasses like Linsey Graham and John McCain.   The "how can we fool 'em today" and the "Sam the Eagle" protecting us delightful rustics by spyin on us is back-firing bigtime.

 

I say let the voters identify the guilty and eliminate them.  The only thing that the defenders of thes programs are doin is that they are protecting their stinkin jobs.  You simply cannot "trust" the untrustworthy to do the right thing and keep you safe.  You certainly cannot trust the untrustworthy not to use highly sensitive data that should be protected by the Fourth Amendment from being used to punish your real and imagined political enemies ALA the IRS and NSA messes.  I think more and more folks are wakin up to that fact.

It is not the Dems, it is the progressives that are behind this.

Both party's are eat up with progressives, they have to have power so they

can push their "better ways" on us.

As an FYI, he was a Republican prior to 2007 when he switched parties to run for (and win) the seat as a Democrat. Who says he won't switch sides again when it is to his benefit?

This isn't about progressives, it's about statists.  Clearly, many times these two groups are one-in-the-same, but it's certainly not an absolute.  Both major parties are focused on using the power of the federal government to push their own agendas.  This is why I gave up on the Republican Party several years ago.

Speaking of that, ET, Mark Levin was tearing a new one in our one and only Bob Corker about the

immigration bill, this afternoon. If you get a chance, listen to his broadcast, today. I'm sure it's on his website.

 

Corker is one fine statist. He's also a flat out liar.
