Imagine
President Scott Walker
Vice President Paul Ryan
Senate Majority Leader Ted Cruz
House Majority Leader Steve King.
Now imagine them in control of all these "legal" surveillance tools.
Feeling happy?
Feeling secure that all they can do is legal and that you are safe in their hands?
If not, perhaps it is time to rethink your position with respect to all the national security legislation and the reorganization of our agencies that have been put in place since 9-11. As everyone knows before 9-11 the whole system was inadequate, yah really.
Feel happy with their access to:
Secret courts?
Establishing secret precedent?
The databases of all businesses?
I'm just wondering because many have stated.
If I have done nothing wrong, what do I have to fear?
I would say it depends upon your own definition of what "wrong" means, this may not fall within what other people would determine to be "wrong".
Joining a trade union?
Joining an environmental group?
Joining any "political action" campaign?
Visiting Planned Parenthood?
But, but it is all legal.
Oh indeed it is, since the laws enabling it have not been repealed.
We have tortured in the recent past.
We have pardoned torture in the recent past.
So since the penalty was so high for torture this will surely protect us in the future.
Drones flying over the US.
They are keeping us safe!
From who?
But, but the general assures us there is adequate oversight! Their own.
Yep, Eisenhower had something to say about that one.
But, but nothing like this can ever happen! The Republican Party is broken.
Yep, if I was to say, President G W Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney; this was all just a horrible hallucination?
