http://www.mediaite.com/online/glenn-greenwald-to- testify-before-congress-on-nsa-surveillance/ One of the hearings Congress organized in June on the NSA programs was titled “How Disclosed NSA Programs Protect Americans, and Why Disclosure Aids Our Adversaries.” It’s easy to see why that might have bothered civil libertarians looking for fairer hearings. There is something to consider. While it certainly seems that most of Obama's & his loyal minions goals are absolute power and the oppression of their enemies, ( us ) it is also true that a spy program that is known is useless. If the "enemy" knows about a program, it's a failure. Revealing that there is a program to watch you, normally, in America, cause that program to STOP. Because it's illegal. Except when it is run by those defiant of all law. When the NSA minion lies before Congress with no fear of punishment, when the AG shows he is a serial liar, again, with no fear and utter contempt of Congress ( to be fair, most of us have utter contempt for Congress ) and this Admin. is openly suppressing the investigation into the incompetence and callousness of Benghazi.......... no one in power is worried because the Dictat will cover them. As long as they are useful. Obama is nothing if not fickle. "Under the Bus" has been used in this admin. more than every President combined. So is debt. More Deficit than Every former President since 1776. Combined. More prosecutions of "traitors to Obama" ( whistle blowers ) under the 1917 statute, than Every US Government, ever, combined. More laundered money than ever in history. More bribes from foreign powers to a Campaign, than ever seen on the planet. More treason than ever. How's that tingle now, Chris? | ||

Make no mistake - the NSA has had your cell phone since day one. It is an FCC Radio Transmit device SIGINT is their lane of travel, foreign or DOMESTIC. your saving grace was that there is alot of data - esp when every 13 yo has at least one cell phone, a twit account, a FB, and oodles of what ever the hell else is on the digital land scape.... And the data is SO much.... that in a preventative measure - it is worthless. completely and totally, utterly worthless. It is like trying to get get a pot of coffee from a water fall NOW.... where it is not worthless. Is when they throw the switch and target the scrubbers, and make search directed, specific, and targeted. And in that instance - your life is PWN'D every data point, at the hint of a whisper of 'subversion' 'etc' *put in what ever 'fn key words they use this week to decide I am an enemy of the state. What can they get ? simply everything and damn near anything they want. Your best bets: stego, random binary code, book cypher, emcon. keep your powder dry - point, aim, click , repeat. | ||

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obama-top-tax- rate-should-be-28-corporations-40-small-business_7 42312.html This makes perfect sense. Large corporations pay far more in bribes to Obama. ( see GE ) | ||
| Cityxslicker |
it makes further sense, if you can get smaller entities to get bought out big bigger corporations, or to fold in bankruptcy that the government can expand its importance in the sector share despite the 'sequester' hiring for the gov has not slowed. just keep banging that drum until collapse | ||

despite the 'sequester' hiring for the gov has not slowed. It's safe to assume the majority of federal employees vote Democrat, yes? | ||

Obama's "sequester" was a deal made to continue spending without a fight before the election. I'm pretty sure the Prez had no intention of keeping his word on the small reduction in spending increases that the "sequester" really was, but obviously also planned to blame anything on His Enemies if it actually happened. There Are No Cuts ( Except for the Military ) When His Enemies didn't back down, but instead offered Obama the power to be selective on the tiny reduction in increased spending Obama "turned them down" and then was selective in causing as much pain to the people as he could, while blaming HIS actions on His Enemies. Since Obama has never signed a budget while president, ( though he Did vote for the last budget signed by Bush, while announcing Bush spent too much money ) he's been running the US illegally ever since that budget ran out his first year in office. H Reid has refused to bring a budget other than the one submitted by Obama before the Senate, and Obama's are so insane that the vote is usually near unanimous against. In any rational world, this is malpractice, dereliction of duty, and a coup against the rule of law. But, no matter what outright lies Obama tells you, and the "media" parrots, spending has not gone down, well over a million new Federal Workers have been hired, and will continue to be hired, as Obama seeks a Holy State where everyone is either a Servant of the People, or a servant of The State. ( in other words, Federal Workers & Welfare Collectors. Although the technical term, is "masters & serfs". ) At this point in the Obama Transformation Of America ( notable that Never is it mentioned into what? ) to return to the Pre-Obama spending levels would require firing well over a million people hired under Obama, even though the Defense part of the budget has gone down. ( and, just to make you feel even better, every Federal Worker is probably making more for that job than his Private counterpart, even the Women in the White House who make 16% less than the Men. This means that they absorb the taxes of millions of actual working Americans since it takes the taxes of what? 3-8 Real People to pay them? ) | ||
| Aesquire |
Clarification on that last. I make about average pay. I pay over 55% in taxes. ( I'm in New York, in one of the top tax counties in the Country ) Only 30 some% is Federal Income Tax, so to pay the salary of One Federal Worker, who makes Above average salary, is going to take about 4-8 people's federal taxes. On average. If you are in an Obama Appointment Executive slot, it's more like 20-50. ( the Bureaucracy absorbs a lot between the IRS and the Federal paycheck ) So every person Obama hires effectively reduces the available budget of Aircraft Carriers, Roads, Bridges, and Giant NSA Data Storage for your phone calls and Facebook page just like 8 people lost their jobs. Yep, A million Federal Hires equals 8 million more unemployed on top of the 90 million+ actually out of work. ( under Obama Alone ) | ||

Sorry, I get carried away. If I was twitting pics of my privates I could run for NYC mayor. If I was a user of high cost prostitutes, I could run for Comptroller. If I bribed, ahem, contributed to, Obama's Campaign, I could get a multi million $ Federal "loan" for my Unicorn Alternative Energy company and take the cash home after we fold. ( darn EPA regs on Unicorn Farms! ) I guess I'm just not Obscene ENOUGH. They canceled White House Tours For Children so Barry could make a propaganda point, but they didn't cut any Bunny Inspectors. To be fair, I complained at the time, and to be fair, Obama complained at the time, that GW Bush spent too much money. Sometime this year, IIRC, Obama will have accumulated more debt while President than every President since George Washington, Combined. | ||

If you yawned and said, "Too bad, so sad" and slithered off to bed so you'd be fresh for your "I love ME!" party in Vegas the next day while four brave Americans were being murdered in Benghazi in real time right before your Situation Room eyes and you did NOTHING about it, well, except to order our forces to stand down and go grab some beauty sleep, well.... ....you could be President. If you subsequently LIED, over and over and over and over, about some lame-assed video that no one has ever seen being the cause of the murders, well.... ....you could be President and get elected to a second term.

"Sometime this year, IIRC, Obama will have accumulated more debt while President than every President since George Washington, Combined." Pelosi has already passed that point as speaker of the house, and nary an eye was batted. | ||

Splitting hairs, I know, but Pelosi hasn't been speaker of the houser since 2010. | ||

Not strictly about Obama, although he's a product of the culture, since Mom was raised & schooled Seattle Commie. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/08/02/seattle -officials-call-for-ban-on-potentially-offensive-l anguage/ Government workers in the city of Seattle have been advised that the terms "citizen" and "brown bag" are potentially offensive and may no longer be used in official documents and discussions. .....The New York Post reported in March 2012 that the city’s Department of Education avoids references to words like “dinosaurs,” “birthdays,” “Halloween” and dozens of other topics on city-issued tests because they could evoke “unpleasant emotions” among the students. Dinosaurs, for example, conjures the topic of evolution, which could rile fundamentalists and birthdays are not celebrated by Jehovah’s Witnesses. Halloween, meanwhile, suggests an affiliation to Paganism. As a Citizen who's actually reads books, I find this Ungood. My natural response to these folk is a hearty "•••• You", and the battle cry "You have a right to be offended, but no right not to be....grow up". I do have to snark this bit. "For a lot of particularly African-American community members, the phrase brown bag does bring up associations with the past when a brown bag was actually used, I understand, to determine if people's skin color was light enough to allow admission to an event or to come into a party that was being held in a private home," Bronstein said. So.... someone told you this brown paper bag ritual existed? I admit I never heard of such a thing, not being raised in a Democrat Party Klan family, ( although the folk down the street had issues with me and the Indian kid I was friends with.... had some fist fights in school about that........as I recall, they had trouble with both the kid from the Blackfoot tribe and the kid from Pakistan. ) While there may have been such a "brown bag" open racism, it's new to me. Barring the phrase Seems like cowardice to me. Scary when I agree with the Perjurer General, Eric Holder. And judging by Elliot's words, he'd never heard of it either, and I suspect someone took advantage of the obvious fact that Elliot is a moron. In other news..... In the DUH! dept. ( aka the obvious results/"unintended consequences" no one mentioned before the vote..... ) http://kdvr.com/2013/08/01/report-colorado-now-a-m ajor-exporter-of-illegal-marijuana/ Again not too much about Obama, but hasn't he gone there far more often to raise campaign funds since the legalization? There's a perfectly innocent reason for that ( after all, Barry can get good weed from the DEA ) Obama Donors in Colorado know probably forgot they already gave, so he can hit them up again. ( unintended consequences, eh? ) | ||
| Aesquire |
Let me also point out the writer of the Colorado Pot story was stoned, since several things don't make sense, ( blaming legalization for things that took place before it happened, is one kinda OBVIOUS point ) I bet that "Rocky Mountain High" stuff is pretty good, judging from this article. | ||

That Jim Crow laws were done by Your Party? That the KKK had a Senator until very recently? And he was in Your Party? At the touching eulogies for his passing, Impeached President ( but not convicted ) Bill Clinton praised that high ranking Klan member, and commented that being in the Klan was a must for Democrats.

My ex went to Seattle public schools, was in highschool in the late 80s. The would NOT teach the Civil War because it was 'offensive' damn near took me five years to get a book into her hands about the damn topic; and another two to convince her it had not a g-damn thing to do with slavery. Ignance runs deep up here, and it is worse on the west side of the state. | ||

Washington state is a very strange place. Weird lefty thought pervades there... What is it about the west coast? I was raised by a very liberal mom, and she never came up with some of this "tampering with history crap" some teach. Sick people with a dangerous agenda... Our founders would "S@#t a brick" at what some of our country has evolved into. | ||

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/355097/cringi ng-superpower-mark-steyn Once more I have to Congratulate Obama on his success in Transforming America. This is pretty obviously a reaction to the callous behavior shown by Obama during the assault on what now appears to be his secret gun running op in Benghazi. You remember? When he told his minions to deal with it and went to watch tv and catch up on beauty sleep before the truly important part of his life, Fundraising in Vegas. Said minions then told the military to stand down, twice, and let Our Ambassador and those far better than them die. On purpose. Then lied about it, TO THIS DAY, because, in the words of Hillary, "what difference does it make?". ( use a screechy angry voice for that. Just check any recording of the Next President ) The message being sent by the embassy closings is we NOW have to accept that "Obama cares" about us. Past experience is that he does not, but who you going to believe, Barack or your lying eyes? | ||

I agree. Many argue that Congress should be forced to obey those laws it has exempted itself from. I disagree. That attitude is childish. It is the attitude of the spoiled brat. The attitude of Communism. The attitude of the Enemy. I believe that WE should be exempt from all laws Congress is exempt from. That is the attitude of an adult. The attitude of someone who believes in equality. The attitude of F789 you. If a law is so bad that the elite don't want to be subject to it, neither should we. So far as I'm concerned, equal = equal. We have no King. Or Barons. ( we do have a multitude of tiny dictators ) No matter what those who would rule say, they work for us, and occasionally have to be fired. We have a lot of people to be fired. | ||
