(270 posts)The hypocrisy is having an expectation to enjoy a safe and secure America without A STRONG SECURITY APARATUS while such things exist as Chinese and Russian government sponsored hackers ATTACKING the US and its citizens, victims of war crimes who want to blow us up BECAUSE REPUBLICANS ARE ALWAYS PUSHING FOR WAR WAR WAR, MILLIONS OF ANTI-GOVERNMENT LIBERTARIANS WHO ARE ARMED TO THE TEETH, and Mexican drug gangs that have already killed thousands of people including U.S. federal agents etc etc etc.
You have to realize this isn't the America of yesterday when finding pedophiles meant years and years of undercover work. NOW YOU CAN FIND PEDOPHILES BY FOLLOWING THEIR INTERNET TRACKS. GOOD, our kids will be safer for it. Criminals and terrorists are using the internet to commit crimes! Shouldn't the internet be utilized to CATCH THESE CRIMINALS? If you don't think so I don't think we are ever going to agree on anything!
Explain the hypocrisy to me? WHY SHOULDN'T OUR SECURITY APPARATUS HAVE TIES TO THE WHITE HOUSE. I want it to have ties to the white house. IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR IT NOT TO HAVE TIES TO THE WHITE HOUSE! Obama is our President, I want him fully aware and connected to our SECURITY! That's part of his JOB!
You forgot to mention the part about being "in a post 9/11 world." Oh, I see -- it's now a "violent and deeply fractured world." Nice try whoever you are, but your agenda here is clearly not as simple as you'd have one believe.
Knee-jerk rhetoric? Post 9-11 world? We are in a post 9-11 world. THERE ARE A LOTTTTTTTTTTTT OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN TO SEE OUR COUNTRY COLLAPSE INTO UTTER CHAOS.
I love my country! I love my President, but I'm not an idealist. I'm a realist. ITS A REALITY THAT TERRORISTS ARE USING THE INTERNET TO RECRUIT INSIDE AMERICA. I would rather have the NSA catch my uber libertarian, Government hating, liberal hating, HOMOSEXUAL hating neigbor BEFORE HE BLOWS UP A SCHOOL OR A WELFARE OFFICE.
