- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -1/+19this is why we needed ron paul not mcain or obama who voted for patriot act
- verzonnen, on 05/06/2008, -6/+23The purpose of the wiretapping is to spy on your "enemies" Those can range from religious extremist (other then your own religion) to political opponents, to your partners lover. The reasons for independent oversight I would have imagined to be obvious.
Oh well, just my $0,02 - inactive, on 05/06/2008, -3/+18Every comment is at 0 because every comment is inane.
- zephalim, on 05/06/2008, -0/+13It's pretty disgusting how quickly our rights are being violated, and in some cases, completely ignored. What's even more disgusting is that Americans, what I'm assuming is the majority thereof, are blind to what is happening. The state of our government is not 'normal', what it meant to be a citizen even twenty years ago is vastly different from what that means today. Spying on any citizen under the terms of 'preemptive' is a violation and is without just cause. Don't believe this National Security Patriotism ***** - Presidents create War in order to generate more power for themselves; this is proven in history. When the next conflict breaks out, watch how more of your rights are stripped away...
- smotpoker1, on 05/06/2008, -1/+13They said terrorist but instead they went against our citizens.They probably tapped all the senator and reps,while they were at it.If this is true then they are traitors.To hell with tar and feathers to them out back and come back alone.
- Genshinx, on 05/06/2008, -0/+12What's really horrific is were not doing anything to stop them; including myself.
- mrzeero, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8Relax everybody. They are just figuring out who to send to the KBR built detention centers when they declare martial law.
- oldgal, on 05/06/2008, -1/+8and if you put elephant traps in your front yard, I bet you won't have a problem with elephants in the garden, coincidence?
- PeppermintPig, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6This was supposed to be for finding Terrorists, not for catching drug users or dealers. This is fraud, but that's besides the point since they're focusing all these resources on harming non-violent individuals.
You might like what the government is doing today in one area, but tomorrow it will be abused.
Your consent doesn't matter. Don't resist, it's for your own good. - Murdats, on 05/06/2008, -1/+6valid
- PatrickBrown, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4The problem is that such legislation will _never_ be put in place by a ruling party, the party that has such ability.
What the US has is a problem in its system. The US needs proportional representation to be established. Unfortunately, such a change would require some major amendments to the Constitution and that presents a problem:
1) Congress will never vote for such an amendment because it takes away the power of those who would be voting in favor of it.
2) A Constitution Convention is near impossible and has never happened. Additionally, those in power in State legislatures belong to the same groups as those in power in Congress and thus would vote such a measure down.
Therefore, the proportional representation that the US needs is impossible without overthrowing the Constitution (since amending it is impossible as shown above)... and few would go for that.
The situation is enough to make you sick when someone suggests that the US is the "best democracy in the world". - Dustin00, on 05/06/2008, -1/+5That keeps in line with the 20% increase of terror attacks on US soil -- what's the concern???
- PeppermintPig, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3I see what uuiU did there.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -2/+5MEANWHILE, SOME DUMB HICK IN GEORGIA
...is saying "I'm glad terrorists isn't attacking my woodshed". - inactive, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4So now the government is blackmailing private citizens?
- motters, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2America seems to be rapidly turning into a modern equivalent of the former USSR, where everyone is under constant state surveillance and fear of counter-revolutionaries justifies everything.
- dealseeker, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Yes, and this elephant repellent I picked up on the home shopping network is keeping elephants away from me right now.
- dacheetah, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2You sir have a good point. Are you willing to sell me some of these elephant traps?
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -1/+2IN other new.
A man was hung today for admitting the world might not be flat.... - inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1At least the comment wasn't removed.....mysteriously....
- Kindjal, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Maybe it is time for another revolution. I know it is easier said then done. I agree with you 100%
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1At first glance of the pic of the disappointed guy and happy blonde, I thought that the thumbnail said "It is a trap!"
- locojones, on 05/06/2008, -1/+2How sad that Poor OffPiste is too naive or brainwashed to understand the difference between coorelation and causation. Well guess what OffPiste, I haven't worn a pair of black underwear since 2001, and there hasn't been an incident either. Coincidence?
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1There are not any that have not already been taken away on paper. Maybe next time they will just start enforcing the limitations without debate.
- Sinnic, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1There...are solutions.
- Kindjal, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1I would if i could, i see the same happening slowly over here in Europe. i wish i could help you Americans but i can't. I fear we are the next.
- fromonesource, on 05/06/2008, -1/+2That was original in content and execution. Congratulations.
- jflm3, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Seriously. If terrorists only target those against anti-terrorism and got their asses handed to them, America would be a much safer place.
- Kindjal, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1I think that the problem is that there is no institution acting in the name of the citizens that is able to regulate this kind of surveillance. This has been introduced starting back at the patriot act if i remember correctly. Since then US civil rights have been eroded and the government in power has bent the constitutional rights into a mere joke by passing bills that are clearly not constitutional.
As a german i have to say this does look a lot like what the Nazis did. They staged an incident to gain more power (burning of the Reichstag), instilled fear into the people.
Don't get me wrong, i am not saying this is the same, i am saying this is the same strategy. - vasilovitch, on 05/06/2008, -0/+0horrible..thats all i have to say
- kemp34, on 05/06/2008, -2/+2Tin foil hat comment = head-in-sand syndrome
- Murdats, on 05/06/2008, -1/+1I didnt say that, but you said "Why assume the government could give two ***** about "spying" on law abiding citizens? I'm sure our privacy could be invaded by them, but they are only concerned with getting more of our MONEY."
they would give two ***** about spying on law abiding citizens because they could use it as a source of money, they (probably) havent chosen to exploit it as such yet but that doesnt negate the fact that spying on citizens can yield money, and as you claim they are only concerned with getting our money. - Me1000, on 05/06/2008, -1/+1nothing gets past you!
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -8/+8kiss your rights bye bye. Anyone who votes for anyone besides Ron Paul are as good as traitors and even they are wishing in one hand and ***** in the other.
- monsterette, on 05/06/2008, -2/+2...things that make you want to say: "....hmmmm"!
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -1/+1To say that there is no economic advantage in having increased control over society is asinine.
- Kennerk, on 05/06/2008, -2/+1and the name, rickastley fan...
- BrosDuCK, on 05/06/2008, -2/+0I know that URL, the uuiU is a big giveaway you failure.
- fitqueenb, on 05/06/2008, -9/+7of course no one knows anything about warrant-less surveillance.... why would they? LOL
- Murdats, on 05/06/2008, -5/+2blackmail pays well.
- Sonof8Bits, on 05/06/2008, -8/+5Gave you a thumbs-up, and it stayed after several refreshes.
I guess digg isn't hacked. - inactive, on 05/06/2008, -9/+4I think MrBabyMan is a spy, he seems to be 'in the know' quite a bit around these parts...
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -7/+2Weak.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -6/+1More BabySpam
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -10/+4Support a candidate that is truly for civil liberties and doesn't flip flop.
Mary Ruwart 2008! http://votemary2008.com - inactive, on 05/06/2008, -8/+2At the risk of getting dugg down, I'll say this: Why assume the government could give two ***** about "spying" on law abiding citizens? I'm sure our privacy could be invaded by them, but they are only concerned with getting more of our MONEY. If listening in on our phone calls doesn't bring them any more money, they aren't interested.
- jflm3, on 05/06/2008, -9/+2Dugg up for the Ron Paul comment, but patriot act is helpful to preventing terrorist attacks
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -11/+2kiss your rights bye bye people who vote in this election are as good as traitors.
