NSA and FBI Co-Opt the Deadliest Sin of All (And Still, the Tea Party Careth Not)

Greed.

Companies are lining up to sell anything and everything about you to the government, for a good price, of course. Companies invent new surveillance and wiretapping technologies and sell them to eager governments, ours included.

Emperor Alexander and the NSA, not satisfied with vacuuming up everything we do online, capturing our locations by tracking our cell phones and listening into our phone calls wants more power. To keep us safe, of course.

The Russians are going to vacuum up every bit of electronic information they can during the Sochi Olympics. And the difference between the NSA and the KGB FSB is what, exactly?

Meanwhile, the NSA, Senator Feinstein, Rep. Rogers and the rest of the national security state apparatchiks are doing what they can to ensure that any "reforms" are neutered before they hatch.

And notwithstanding their promises to be "the most transparent Administration in history (no shit)", Barry and his Boyos are turning out to be the most secretive and paranoid administration since [drum roll]... Richard Nixon.

/while all this goes on, the Tea Party and the GOP keeps wrapping themselves tighter and tighter around the axle of Obamacare. Because having a government that watches every fucking thing you do is no big deal, but making healthcare available to the 15% of Americans who didn't have access to it is treason. They've taken a stand and, regardless of how stupid it is, they can't walk away.

Given what the NSA is going, and the de-facto gun registry compiled by the ATF, and the IRS using audits against political opponents, and the Justice Department using the Sedition Act of 1918 against whistleblowers and journalists ...

... what will they do when they control health care?

Government providing health insurance (not health care) to 15% more Americans is Tyrrany!!"

`Zat about it?

The ACA passed two houses of Congress, was signed into law by the President and survived court challenges. It's survived over 40 votes to repeal it.

But the Batshit-Right keeps losing. so now it's "change Obamacare or your government gets it."

Your side has lost this fight. But it keeps digging itself a deeper and deeper hole.
