Chad, I hate to tell you this, but the private enterprise that is doing all this spying is a close neighbor to your bud, Dave44. I don't think they are a part of the "left" as you call them.
Does it not amaze you that the (our) government outsources intelligence collection to private corporations where there can be no scrutiny, nor FOI requests? I was under the impression that you supported free enterprise, and what is more free enterprise than collecting tax dollars to perform a job government employees used to do? I'm willing to bet the honchos of B-A are making a hell of a lot more than any old GS-14, and I'm willing to also lay odds that employees like Snowden, who was making over 150K a year, are doing better than any file clerk at the drivers license bureau could ever hope to make.
This is what you end up with when small government is the battle cry.
What's your take on this?
Dang, I'm confused now.
You talk like I used to when I drank. Wife taped me once.
What I said made perfect sense to me, but no one else knew what the heck I was trying to say.
When I sobered up, I didn't know what the heck I had been trying to say either.
Are you chemically enhanced?
