There were drips and drabs in 2006 and 2007. What Snowden did was pull it altogether.<br /><br />So where is the conservative media on this? As far as I know, Fox and the Murdoch empire are not pushing the story. It's being left to The Guardian and Der Spiegel, with the American press occasionally chiming in. (Part of that is because there is no bigger statist than Murdoch.)<br /><br />But no. The conservatives are worried about Obamacare, not the NSA. Which is akin to being concerned about a facial pimple and ignoring a sucking chest wound.Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-18623197891104848132013-10-03T19:27:20.557-04:002013-10-03T19:27:20.557-04:00I think a lot of what motivates the Tea Party is a...I think a lot of what motivates the Tea Party is a sense that the Fed.Gov has grown recklessly and dangerously. Obamacare is part of this, but only part.<br /><br />The NSA's "Eye of Sauron" program hasn't yet sunk in, partly because the Media is trying every way it can to shield Obama. Elect a Republican President, and you'll suddenly get NSA all over the headlines.<br /><br />But to your global point that the GOP doesn't give a damn about it, yeah.<br /><br />We'll leave the discussion of state's rights for another day. I do think that there's a case to be made for that, and I say that as a Yankee born and bread, with a great-great grandfather who was in Sherman's army.Borepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029434172945099693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-61246757734478989222013-10-03T15:52:22.381-04:002013-10-03T15:52:22.381-04:00yep... bears repeating, and repeating and... hope ...yep... bears repeating, and repeating and... hope you don't mind that I posted it verbatim to my blog and linked it to facebook cuz doing a straight link into facebook creates such a big header nobody ever gets past it to read the guts... hanshttp://hanshowe.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-38271409352034959252013-10-03T14:54:30.778-04:002013-10-03T14:54:30.778-04:00"They need to be beaten like gongs."

The Tea Party caucus...Moe, sorry, you are wrong. <br /><br />The Tea Party caucus has been talking for months about shutting down the government unless the ACA was either defunded or delayed. In essence, they said: "Nice government you have here. Shame if anything were to happen to it, so do it our way."<br /><br />The Democrats, for once, are showing some spine. <br /><br />But hey, if you want to blame the store owner because an extortionist trashed his store, feel free.Comrade Misfithttp://eb-misfit.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-29300421023285379852013-10-03T12:55:38.179-04:002013-10-03T12:55:38.179-04:00Defending the liberal position makes even a smart ...Defending the liberal position makes even a smart person seem a little slow-witted.<br /><br />Harry Reid(a.k.a. self-endorsed asshole) is responsible for the shutdown. <br /><br />-MoeMoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464046406342523552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-7511371769330749192013-10-03T08:23:32.906-04:002013-10-03T08:23:32.906-04:00"Them" are the people who believe in sta..."Them" are the people who believe in states' rights and nullification-- the theories that were dreamed up by the defenders of slavery.
