More scandal news

Congressman Mike Rogers (R) supports the NSA looking into our phone, credit card purchases, internet activity and whatever else we do through using electronic equipment.  He even claimed at least one (1) terrorist attack has been prevented.  Whoopee!    

Of course he conviently forgot to mention the shoe bomber, underwear bomber, Ft. Hood massacre, Times Square bomber and the Boston bombing.  All of these appear not to have been prevented through government agency snooping, but through luck and being in the right place at the right time.  And, I forgot the murder of the Army recruiter in Arkansas by an Muslim convert approximately 2 years ago.  All this great electronic snooping and yet, some of these terrorist attack were prevented either to the terrorist being dumb or the public taken action.  Yet, Russia gives us information on the Boston bombers, but we fail to connect the dots.  It would have been better if Russia made a phone call to someone in the states and we may have picked it up.  Even better, Russia could have called a Tea Party group and it surely would have been picked up.   

This snooping by the NSA has gone beyond the original intent of the Patriot Act.  Is this administration and the NSA claiming that 300 million citizens are potential terrorist and must be monitored when the original program only allowed this spying on those calls going from and to countries or individuals known to house terrorist or individuals.  Not 300 million people.  With the new NSA spy center in Utah do to be fully operational this fall, we will have no privacy, unless you purchase all items with cash or use snail mail.  Of course if you make a large purchase with cash, the IRS will be notified and we know how good they are. 

In keeping with the allegation that it is necessary to monitor all electronic communication, we must remember what Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said nearly 4 years ago.  That we must be watchful for returning veterans, Tea Party groups, bible reading Christians, supporters of the 2nd Amendment and other conservative groups since they have the potential to engage in terrorist activity.  With thinking like this, you now understand why this administration is trying to monitor everyone in this country.  This is right out of George Orwell's 1984, only 30 years late.  If you doubt this, there were movies made on this book, one was in cartoon format and others were made in 1984 and 1954.  But to get the accurate version of this book, you must read the book since we all know how the liberals in Hollywood would change the content in the movie to suit their own political ideology.  An informed educated public is the only way to defeat these threats to our constitution and way of life.  This is not limited to only one political party.  It is just that the Obama administration has taken it beyond what the Bush administration did and we know as electronic equipment for snooping improves, who knows where it will it will go.  But as usual, after 5 years in office, Obama is still dropping President Bush's name as responsible.  This man and his administration will not accept blame for anything that goes wrong in his administration unless of course it shines a light on some good deed, like killing of Osama Bin Laden.  There is no end to the I did this, I did that, I ordered this and I ordered that.  Listen to his speeches carefully and you see a narcissistic, self idolizing person who only takes credit for good events that others perform and blames Bush or some low level employee who is actually clueless to the event.
