(3,284 posts)A Government that collects vast metadata to SPY on all its citizens on a continuous basis
to troll for "terrorists", as claimed, is the very epitome of big government.
And doing it in secret, and lying about it to Congress as well.
We are not talking about desirable and needed large government services FOR The People,
like healthcare, infrastructure rebuilding programs, Social Security, food stamps, low-cost education loans, etc etc.
No no. All that stuff is either being attacked, not done much at all, cut or "reformed" (i.e. CUT).
NSA spying is Big Brother watching us all, profiling us all, treating everyone like suspects.
I mean, do I really have to explain this to you folks?
Honestly?
Sheesh.
Dense, much?
Sorry if I haven't been clear enough.
Or do you just love authoritarian Government that distrusts its own citizens, including YOU?
I assert, once more:
Snowden is a hero to people who value their freedom, and realize that without the right-to-privacy,
there is no freedom.
Are you folks Cheney-bot neocons, or what?
Must be a communication problem.
