I just saw Obama on TV saying how their spying programs were only going after "terrorists" and they weren't listening in to private conversations. And my reaction was "bullshit."
He went on to relation a story about how sometimes when he would tell his wife he did the dishes, she'd be skeptical and while he'd like her to believe him, sometimes he still had to show her the dishes.
And as for the spying programs? Now we know damn good and well that they are going through the contents of our private communications. And it isn't just the DEA that is getting a peek at what we're saying.
Everyone else from the FBI to the
fucking IRS is wanting access to these spy programs to launch their criminal investigations. They're violating the 4th Amendment, 5th Amendment and 6th Amendment. They're spring on us and, yes, reading our e-mails and listening to our phone calls. They're using that ill-gotten info to launch criminal investigations, not to supplement them, and then they're hiding the origins of their investigations from the courts and thereby disallowing the accused the right to face their accuser.
Obama, if you're going to tell me that you're only going after "terrorists" when we now know otherwise and expect me to believe you then I have one thing to say; show us the fucking dishes.
