- slowmo, on 11/09/2007, -8/+204I'm not doing anything bad so I have nothing to worry about.
If you have said that to yourself at any point than you are part of the problem. - jlhoben, on 11/09/2007, -3/+168Are people really that stupid that they can't understand the need for constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures? Of course, they will inevitably find some wrongdoers but that's not the point morons.
- SeethisPass, on 11/09/2007, -4/+130Highly important to everyone no matter what their circumstances
- sophia269, on 11/09/2007, -3/+87I'm not surprised. I just wonder if this type of ***** will stop after January 2009 or if the next President will continue to ***** us like King George has.
- Shigatsu, on 11/09/2007, -7/+73"This just reaffirms my plans to emigrate to Canada. I'm not just saying that. The noose on our necks can only get so tight before we decide to attempt an escape or just give in and die. Just working on the details to leave makes me feel better, like I can literally breathe easier.
Get out now. While you still can."
....3 words... NORTH AMERICAN UNION
....3 more NEW WORLD ORDER
When your dollar finally crashes, watch for the push for "ECONOMIC SECURITY" under a single word currency...
Thats what I'd be placing my bets on.
Sounds crazy... but look at the last 8 years... - SignorDildo, on 11/09/2007, -4/+58There's an Iron Curtain descending over North America...
(Oh, deja vu.) - falseleftright, on 11/09/2007, -1/+48Was there ever a doubt that the tip of the iceberg shown initially was in fact just that? Give them an inch and they will take the internet. But wait, surely, we can all see how this is keeping us safe from islamo-fascist extremists who hate us for our freedom and are hell bent on destroying our way of life...ooops, too late.
"to support and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC".
Me thinks the enemies are inside the gate. - kronzdigg, on 11/09/2007, -31/+71RON PAUL
- AriaStar, on 11/09/2007, -9/+48This just reaffirms my plans to emigrate to Canada. I'm not just saying that. The noose on our necks can only get so tight before we decide to attempt an escape or just give in and die. Just working on the details to leave makes me feel better, like I can literally breathe easier.
Get out now. While you still can. - thefandango, on 11/09/2007, -1/+36Dugg for using emigrate instead of immigrate.
- damonic, on 11/09/2007, -0/+34Of course people are that stupid. When we were attacked on 9/11, Bush told us not to worry about it; go shopping, go to the movies, we'll take care of you... And thats exactly what happened. We all went shopping in record numbers. Look where we are now. People don't care - they have the attitude that "if I'm not doing anything wrong, I have nothing to worry about." Well, what happens when you go shopping online with a business that is being investigated? YOU get investigated, YOU get wiretapped, YOU get searched and seized. WAKE UP AMERICA!
- AriaStar, on 11/09/2007, -1/+32If we're going to all be treated like criminals and terrorist to begin with, we may as well act on it.
I claim dibs on the monkey in the middle. - Idowhatiwant, on 11/09/2007, -1/+30No one will care about this untill it affects thier shopping, but then watch out.
- bowens44, on 11/09/2007, -0/+28His charges are well documented with internal AT&T documents but you keep your head in the sand if it makes you feel better.
- gmiley, on 11/09/2007, -0/+27I was having a conversation with my parents a couple weeks back, and my mother actually said that "I don't have anything to worry about if I'm not doing anything wrong." I looked right at her and told her how disappointed I was. That was the only time I have ever said that to her, and I really meant it.
People have fought and died for these freedoms, we should not and can not simply give them up like this. - Waterrat, on 11/09/2007, -2/+28 I saw it on PBS,it's not far fetched at all.
- ByteGuerilla, on 11/09/2007, -1/+26You are aware you said ''AT&T technician'' and not ''Subway Sandwich Technician'' right? An AT&T Technician is in exactly the right position to have witnessed this.
- TRINITY777, on 11/09/2007, -0/+24America: home of the brave OK ,but as for land of the free, my left sack! this crap hole gets worse by the day. i hate people who say i have nothing to hide so i don't care, that's the talk of Germany while Hitler did all the things bush is doing. soon he will demand worship and shove a rfid chip in your hands and then people will say " but its for our safety", wake up idiots the time has come to fight back!! or are you too busy getting coffee at Starbucks and putting gas in your Richie SUV to care
- lnf69, on 11/09/2007, -7/+29You're assuming King G. will allow elections. Not a safe assumption IMHO. I'm starting to get the strong (fearful) feeling that marshal law in most, if not all of the USA, is not too far away.
- windyridge, on 11/09/2007, -6/+27We're a police state, this comes as no surprise
- damonic, on 11/09/2007, -3/+23One of the signatures on my email is just a list of words that I forward between personal email accounts in the hopes that is screws with their system. Its the same idea that the spammers had when they started adding random text to their email messages to get thru the spam filters.

What ever happened to When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation?" What happened? In a few measly centuries we went from Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Quincy Adams to Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, W. Good God! Maybe it is time for a new American revolution! Maybe it is time for a Declaration of the Dissolution of Federal Tyranny.
"A little revolution now and then is a good thing; the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -Thomas Jefferson
"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." -Thomas Jefferson
"There is something rotten in the state of Denmark" -Shakespeare
"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Ben Franklin - AnarkeIncarnate, on 11/09/2007, -0/+19The price of freedom is too high for it to be sold for so little
- heartcoldfusion, on 11/09/2007, -3/+22How about instead of jumping ship, you start bailing instead.
- CheeseburgerBro, on 11/09/2007, -0/+18Well, you're welcome to come on up here, but you should be fairly warned: the Canadian powers that be get their idea of what constitutes acceptable governance by taking cues from down south.
In short, that means that Canada can be expected to emulate (if trailing temporally) the political attitudes in the United States. While it may be true that some of the more jingoistic, religio-politico-insanito elements might be buffed down to a polite Canadian polish, the essential underlying betrayals will be foisted without hesitation once the American precedent has been set.
Meanwhile, though, it's still a pretty damn good place to live if you can't afford Sweden. - TheInfamousOne, on 11/09/2007, -4/+20I'm not a RP spammer in the least, never even made a comment about him on digg (check if you don't believe me). However, from what i've heard from his mouth, all of what you just said is silly. Making something a state level decision is not the same as "would overturn Roe v. Wade in a heartbeat" That takes care of: "pro-life, anti-gay" because he's said he would make those decisions a state level decision. As far as pro-gun...do you remember a little thing called the constitution? Remeber where it says we're all allowed to own guns? God forbid a canidate actually stick by the constitution. Also, as far as being anti-spending (We are the most in debt country in the world right now) and anti-social programs, it comes down to this. Helping people who can't help themselfs is fine. But our system right now is helping people who know how to minuplate it it so they wont HAVE to help themselves. I'm all for getting more of my paycheck every month, and letting me decide to put it into my own savings fund.
Did you even do any research? Or just copy and paste that line from foxnews? - inactive, on 11/09/2007, -0/+15I trust this guy more than I trust the government.......
- paganmonkeyboy, on 11/09/2007, -1/+16see you all in the camps...
- inactive, on 11/09/2007, -2/+17"Other causes will not alone account for many of our heaviest misfortunes; and, particularly, for that prevailing and increasing distrust of public engagements, and alarm for private rights, which are echoed from one end of the continent to the other. These must be chiefly, if not wholly, effects of the unsteadiness and injustice with which a factious spirit has tainted our public administrations.
By a faction, I understand a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a minority, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adversed to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community."
James Madison, The Federalist, Number 10. November 23, 1787
The factions are now the Bush administration, the Council of Foreign Relations (CFR), Skull and Bones, and every other secret society that wants global power, gain and control at the expense of citizens' rights. - PA42, on 11/09/2007, -1/+16I don't know how you are getting diggs, Islam is not a language, dufus ... You mean: You need to have those words converted to Arabic.
- nblsavage, on 11/09/2007, -1/+16This is not, repeat not a republican/democrat issue. Do you honestly think that the government will never use this system to spy on non-terrorists? The government as a whole has show itself incapable of restraint.
- insllvn, on 11/12/2007, -1/+15"When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.
When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.
When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out."
First they came for the Arab-Americans... - damonic, on 11/09/2007, -2/+16More annoying than unwarranted wiretapping? More annoying than eliminating the writ of habeus corpus? More annoying than being whisked away to an unidentified prison in another country? You are probably one of those people that feels you have nothing to worry about since you do nothing wrong. WAKE UP!
- Chaoticfist, on 11/09/2007, -2/+16lmao....piss poor health care, you clearly have not a clue, Canada actually has some of the best health care in the world, ya we pay higher taxes, but i beats walking out of the hospital with a $30000 bill.
- insllvn, on 11/09/2007, -0/+13Morality, a sense of civic duty, an adherence to the ideals of the constitution? Nevermind, I am not making any sense here...
- pintomp3, on 11/09/2007, -1/+14that's like saying all mail that travel over public roads is public knowledge, even mail that is sealed in an envelope.
- PA42, on 11/09/2007, -0/+13Quoting the fourth amendment "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated," IF the government has looked at my private emails, then I have been searched. If they did not have a specific warrant, then it was warrantless.
- blackturtleus, on 11/09/2007, -1/+12It's funny how we used to point at the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s as being exactly what we didn't want to become. Well it looks like we now enjoy no more freedom than those who we saw as oppressed way back then! I guess we can boast now that we are "The Land of the FORMERLY Free" - Don't it make you proud to be an American???
- elvisB, on 11/09/2007, -1/+12They are profiling all of us with very sophisticated software that uses algorithms and looks for key words. It categorizes us based on it's findings and if your deemed an "enemy combatant", if you will, then your red listed and will be amongst the first to go to the FEMA camps for either forced labor or orderly extermination. Welcome to the ultra-hightech American Inquisition. They track the internet in the same manner. Make no mistake, this is tyranny and our lives are on the line. Don't be scared! Dig your heals in, prepare yourself, and DO NOT go quietly into the night. One more thing, you better elect Ron Paul or we will keep sinking into the abyss.
- BlacklabelSAR, on 11/09/2007, -4/+15***** you.
- scorchedearth, on 11/09/2007, -1/+12ECHELON monitors everyone.
- weeeezzll, on 11/09/2007, -2/+13Then why are you asking?
- gabrielg01, on 11/09/2007, -1/+11Running away is not a solution to the problem. Stay and fight!
- inactive, on 11/09/2007, -1/+11Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
-Benjamin Franklin - bowens44, on 11/09/2007, -0/+10Are you really so dense that you believe that the 4th amendment should only be protected when we are personally violated? If the rights of anyone of us are violated, the rights of all of us are violated. Unbelievable, you call opposing the violation of our most basic Constitutionally protected rights 'silliness'.
- guinnessstout, on 11/09/2007, -0/+10Artie you need to really stick to that diet.
- damonic, on 11/09/2007, -1/+11No. Actually, I am exersiing my freedom of speech while I still have it.
- weeeezzll, on 11/08/2007, -2/+12I agree. The dictator like actions of the current US policy makers should scare the ***** out of everyone around the world. This country currently has the power to do some pretty ugly things just about anywhere in the world we choose. If the current administration is willing to treat their own citizen with such disrespect you can just imagine how it feels about the rest of the world.
- betterth, on 11/09/2007, -0/+10Right so how do you fix America? Write to your senator/congressmen? You're not a lobbyist, they don't give a *****. Run for president? You're not the rich, social elite. Complain on digg?
Come on. This country and it's elections are a sham and we all kinda know it by now. Even if the votes are relatively accurate the candidates are all hand picked. You can't fix America, unfortunately, without the deaths of a lot heads of industry and government. We're talking most of the boards of top fortune 500 company and the majority of the leaders in the federal government. While they hold power, any of them, this country is "unfixable". - Bushlied, on 11/09/2007, -4/+13I would welcome them with my Remington 870 and Kimber 1911 45 ACP. But all guess must remove their shoes.
