I am willing to bet that many of the critics of the NSA methods would be the very first in line to complain where was the FBI, the CIA, the police…the NSA!!!

if another big terror attack occurred on US soil. Both the ‘nuts and the ‘bro’s would be howling like hyenas. “They should have known…they can’t protect us!”

That’s seems to be the standard American’s most recognizable trait…bitch and moan, cry and blame…damned either way. And maybe not even have any of it right, but it sounds bad…they are spying on little ol’ me!

Yet, I still see a ton of people that have no clue with any of this. Most seem to think someone is reading everyone’s stuff…no feel for what meta data is and the fact that everyone collects it. But by god, it is our ‘merican right to bitch while ill-informed.

You know with a Democracy we get what we are. And this is it.

I give any politician that thinks he can change anything all the credit in the world. Anyone would be just as well served to bash his head against a column at the Capitol building in Washington.

Snowden exposed something all right. As discussed above…we let a cheating, lying, deceptive, mole-like spy get into data. So, I credit him for that…it will cause more and tighter security. But hero? If he is a hero, we as a country and society are screwed.

But hey, Duck Dynasty IS the biggest thing on TV! Woot!

Nah… they’d be the first to say it was an inside job to scare us into submission so the Government can continue spying on every little aspect of our lives. The irony? They’d be posting this all over FB and Twitter.
