Any truth to this article? I believe so

All that surveillance and Obama can't find terrorists or illegal al...

Did I say "can't?"

I meant won't.

Because to Barack Obama, terrorists and illegal aliens are not a priority. Tea Partyers, Conservatives, and Patriots. They're the priority.

He vowed to "fundamentally transform" America.

And boy oh boy, he sure has.

The amount of surveillance he's unleashed on American citizens would make J. Edgar Hoover blush. Thanks Verizon, yes the NSA can hear you now. And don't for one minute believe that AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Skype aren't also cooperating. As are just about every major internet company and search engine.

According to the Post, the National Security Agency and FBI are "tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading US Internet companies, extracting audio, video, photographs, e-mails, documents and connection logs that enable analysts to track a person's movements and contacts over time." The program is code-named PRISM, and was leaked to the newspaper by a "career intelligence offer" who said, "They quite literally can watch your ideas form as you type."

Also feeding into this Orwellian database? Credit card transactions. And supermarket loyalty card info. Undoubtedly along with a whole bunch of other stuff we haven't heard about yet.

So riddle me this Batman.

With all that data, and given that the Russians told him about the Tsarnaev brothers, why didn't someone stop the Boston Marathon bombing?

Because Barack Obama refuses to consider Islam to be the source of terrorism, that's why.

A correspondent to Breitbart News writes in frustration: "The FBI and NSA were reading [Nidal] Hassan's emails to [Anwar] Al Awlaki and monitoring his phone calls and didn't think he was a threat at Ft. Hood. The FBI was also monitoring the phone calls of the Times Square bomber and didn't do anything. So much for the value of phone call and email monitoring. Check the old news clips on these stories. It's all there."

We know who Obama's real enemies are.

And then comes a reminder of which information the government has been most interested in: information about Tea Party and conservative groups, information about individual activists in the conservative movement, information about the prayers of pro-life groups — information, in other words, about its political opponents, who have been treated since the beginning of the Obama administration like the real national enemy.

Welcome to Chicago politics coupled with Soviet tactics.

This is not the America our Founding Fathers envisioned.

But it's exactly what Obama promised us we'd get.

Yes it is what he promised, but the majority of voters did not pay attention(2x). I never voted for him or a Republican, ever. Always anyone but those two groups. Because they are the opposite sides of the same coin, so really the R's won't be any better, remember it was bush who installed the PATRIOT act.

[easymoney]

Its true that Bush started the Patriot Act, but, he was only monitoring calls to middle east countrys and those they felt were affiliated with terrorist groups. Not every American citizen.

Neither Republicans or Democrats (parties) are dedicated to the principles of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, but some individuals of both parties are.  Rand Paul is doing an incredible job as a Republican, just like his dad did, but philosophically he's on the same page as our founding fathers.

If they put this much effort into find online child stalkers, pedophiles, and terrorists and uman traffikers they would have great results. But instead of using it for something with a point for all of humanity, they are spying on real americans for nothing!

The best paragraph in the article above is;

"So riddle me this Batman.

With all that data, and given that the Russians told him about the Tsarnaev brothers, why didn't someone stop the Boston Marathon bombing?"

The sad thing is even when they do have the information, they wont use it as we saw with the Ft Hood shooting... they knew the guy was up to something but because they didn't want people to think they were going after the muslim guy, they just let him be.... of course we see how well that turned out.

[easymoney]

And, to call Ft. Hood work place violence is utterly absurd. This guy is still being paid for god sake.

Yet, the soldiers cannot collect battle pay.Financelly, they are getting killed.

Thank you Bill Clinton
