NSA collecting Verizon customers' data

[Zundfolge]

I guarantee you that EVERY telecom company has bent over and grabbed the ankles for this administration, not Verizon.

If Americans weren't worthless, weak, cowardly children this would not only push them to impeachment, this would push them to drive Obama and his ilk to the nearest Esso station.

This is the third place in the last 10 minutes I've said something similar ... I wonder if I'll get audited by the IRS now.

You're probably being "audited" by DHS right now. I'm sure I've got a little file going somewhere at various alphabet agencies.

Casually whistles and flips the bird their way...

The bad news is these are government employees doing the data mining.
The good news is these are government employees doing the data mining.

LOL expertly done.

Eventually everyone will either work for, or be supported by, the government.

That's already the case. The government has no money without taking from the productive. Anyone supported by "the government", is simply receiving the redistribution of the wealth produced by others, minus of course the huge bite from government overhead. If nobody is working in the private sector, there's no money to redistribute.

Ask the former Soviet Union how well that works when there's a disincentive to being productive.

If you don't think every text, email, call, and web search isn't already recorded and saved I've got a bridge to sell you.

Hello, giant NSA server farm in Utah.

As someone who works for the government... Yes.

I get the urge to go make a ton of crank calls to terrorists right now.

"Excuse me, is your refrigerator running?" "We don't have one in this tiny cave!" "Oh...never mind then."

I, for one, welcome our new totalitarian overlords.
