...then the state cannot perform its proper function which is to protect you from enemies.

The Utility of Metadata

So they say they are not collecting much information. But the information they may collect could be very interesting. 

Think of the blogs you read. Could someone discern your politics based on reading such blogs? Could they choose you for an audit based on your blog reading?

Par for the course, Dems...

... But shame on us Republicans

http://reason.com/blog/2013/06/10/pew-democrats-cool-with-nsa-data-diving

Our only defense is that, in the meantime, we have had an IRS data leaking scandal that proves that we cannot trust the government with our private information. 

"Well I've Got Nothing to Hide"

Oh really?

Here is a thoughtful essay. 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ixk09zb6vqhze3g/SSRN-id998565.pdf

If you could be sure that your surveilled information would be kept private then perhaps you wouldn't be so concerned but with the recent disclosures about the IRS you would be a fool to think that private information would not be used against you. 

Obama won his Senate seat by getting disclosure if his primary opponents sealed divorce records. 

Another Big Split in the Body Politic

We quickly see an unholy alliance forming between RINOs , the WSJ and the Obama administration around a defense of the Total Surveillance State (TSS).  The Tea Party and the Occupy movement are finding common ground!? 

"Oh you're just hyperventilating, NotLiberal," some may say. "It isn't total". 

Not yet. But surveillance has one logical direction--more.  There are so many gaps in what we know that it is hard to imagine the effectiveness  of the expenditure. The TSS abhors ineffective surveillance. A politically correct TSS needs even more surveillance to claim effectiveness. 

We can't even have a debate on this subject because the terms of the debate are secret. 

This is going to hurt. 

Anguish

I would be okay with some sort of electronic surveillance but every strategy I can think of to assure that US citizens rights are preserved requires a level of knowledge about me that requires yet increased surveillance. I am baffled.

What is the relevance of email to preventing clandestine correspondence? Someone could post coded messages on a public blog and a reader could get the message. Do they track every page view? That would be mind boggling. Is every computer in every foreign location associated with a user that can be tracked? I have serious doubts about the real effectiveness of such mass data gathering. There is no end to the surveillance that will be required to be safe. Can we trust the government to only use the surveillance in narrow ways? What does the IRS case tell us?

Secrets

I am okay with keeping secrets from our enemies. Sometimes that means ordinary Americans can't be in on the secret. But when Obama and Holder know it why should I think that our enemies don't know it? Why does it feel like the only people that don't know are ordinary Americans? For example: Why does it feel like the US, the terrorists, Egypt, Libya, and Syria all knew what was going on at Benghazi but we don't?

Dems: The Party of the Low Information (Idiot) Voters

Conservatives Deserve Some Blame

Support for the Patriot Act has been pretty largely bipartisan. I sense wishful thinking among conservatives that it wouldn't be abused. Now I can't say what the difference is between what is being reported and what Congress authorized, but to some extent we're going to have to say we got here complicity. 

Now we have an IRS that leaks information selectively in ways calculated to damage, and picks on conservatives for audits we know that government cannot be trusted. What will we do about it?

Their Tiny Heads Must Be Exploding

My poor liberal friends. Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS, Sebelius solicitation of contributions from regulated entities, DOJ subpoenas, drone strikes against US citizens etc. etc. had them scrambling to cover for their man. Okay blame Bush, it was the GOPs fault, look the GOP did this too and so on. 

But they wake up today to PRISM and the Verizon subpoena and who only knows what else and what can they say? They either have to retreat to catatonic denial or their heads will explode. How far can you go with Bush did it too? At some point why not just vote for Bush if the only distinction is that your hopy change guy is less competent than Bush?  

Poor silly suckers.

The IRS Scandal to Date

When did IRS become a racist epithet?

http://hotair.com/archives/2013/06/05/martin-bashir-when-republicans-say-irs-theyre-really-dropping-the-n-bomb-on-obama/

The key tale away is that, to a liberal, all criticism of black men is racist. This is because liberals infantilize backs and pander to them so that they can feel morally superior. 

Obama, Damn Hypocrite and Harry Reid, Filthy Lying Stooge

Should I tell you how I really feel? Packing the courts and judicial filibusters.

Another hmmm...

Was the IRS mess all driven by concerns that voter fraud would hit the radar screen harder?

Hmmm...

Debating Liberals

The first rule is don't debate a liberal. It is like a game of Calvin Ball. They make up the rules as they go along.  

All the rules of rhetoric apply to you but none apply to them. Just like the brilliant infant Calvin in the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.  Humoring infants is a no-win proposition.
