But...that's not my point, either. The Obama administration isn't hell bent on spying on every American. That's the product of journalists who feel privy to everything. And I'm dead serious in my comparison of the paranoia in our nation today compared to the McCarthy era. That scares me far more than a low level CIA agent reading my nonsensical emails. Which isn't happening.
I disagree partly. No gov't, including Obama's should be spying.. and when caught lying about it the way they've been... well, heads should roll somewhere along the way. Nutty is exactly right in his anger over this issue. We have a right to privacy in this country, we have the right to slam the door in the face of the police that show up at our door for no reason asking to come in, we have a right to turn around and walk away when stopped for no reason on the streets and questioned by police-stop and frisk is a blatant violation of the law. we have a right to drive thru any state in the country without having to produce our 'papers' all because we may be tanner than the next guy.. and we have the right to have a conversation about bombs or anything else we want on the telephone without black SUV's coming to our houses to investigate us..
Obama is just as bad as Bush was and in some case worse because the tech is better for him than it was for Bush.
and don't forget, the next guy in office could easily be Ted Cruz, are you happy with allowing him the same spying power that we've ignored under Obama? Are you ok with the amounts of new 'tech' his presidency would see and use? if that doesn't scare you then you're not taking it seriously enough..
not that your assessment on the media freaking out is wrong because it's not and they are.. but there is a major issue here that shouldn't be ignored... the same way those other issues (gay/abortion/guns) shouldn't be ignored either..
