Ran across this little nugget this morning: DOJ Docs Reveal Facebook And Email Digging Without A Warrant

The United States government has become the enemy of freedom and the fact that they have global influence and unlimited funds is really frightening. The irony is that the 700 billion that America has spent since 9/11 hasn't made us any safer and in every case they were actually warned that they should investigate certain suspects which they blatantly ignored causing massive injuries, fatalities and suffering to the populace. Many years before 9/11 the government received that infamous report that basically told them in plain English that terrorists were looking to fly plains into buildings and of course as we all know they completely ignored them. The same thing happened with the recent Boston marathon bombing in which it came to light that Russia had warned them that they should investigate the older brother which again they ignored. These were simple things that could have been done that wouldn't have cost any money, any loss of freedom, any invasion of privacy and would have actually prevented the events that came after. Instead they call for more and more money and we surrender more and more freedoms. The government must be held accountable just as they hold their own citizens and the rest of the world accountable and even more so because our lives are shaped by these very policies. You want to go around acting like the righteous policemen of the planet then get ready to have that spotlight shoved up your own ass.

 

"700 billion that America has spent since 9/11"

just think if we spent all that money on education and social services instead..

 

Exactly Frito! What really annoys me is when people bitch and moan about the welfare state yet they seem to have no issues whatsoever with money being spent on the military or on "security". They have no problem wasting money so long as it doesn't go to actually helping people because that's the REAL problem in America. Please.
