#13  Probably because no one's having kids anymore.

The illegal aliens are having lots of kids. You can expect the bill on April 15.

#12  #3 It's for the children!

It's interesting how we don't hear this phrase as much anymore.

Probably because no one's having kids anymore.

Also interesting to note that today's Millenial neckbeards and neon coiffed SJWs are the "children" for which all the protections of the Eighties/Nineties were put in place.

#11  The tragic events of Waco convinced me of that BP. Everything since is just additional confirmation.

I'm still trying to fit the Benghazi pieces together, your Blue Mountain Security, Aegis, the Turkish connection, etc. It will all surface eventually I suppose.

#10  I'm beginning to suspect most of the security apparatus is there to protect the interests of the state AGAINST the people. It's just sold as protecting the people.

#9  Whenever there's a domestic terrorism incident, for some reason the FBI confirms they were monitoring the perp and that they did nothing.

I am reassured (That a suburban TX traffic cop can properly execute a headshot under duress).

#8  Wouldn't it be easier just to keep the Somalis, Chechens and Arabs out of this country in the first place?

Yeah right.... actually solve the problem and we won't have any more reasons for violating people's rights... can't have that!

See Also War on Terror, War ion Drugs, War on Poverty, etc...

#5  Feds get info from Russia on Tsarnev and do nothing. All they want to do is to intimidate the law abiding people who don't raise hell.

And they get a pass.

#4  What happened to the 4th Amendment? You know, the one that says:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The Feds having unrestricted power? All the more reason for Constitutional protections. It is not obsolete or passe but more important than ever.

#3  It's for the children!

We can't have them exposed to views and ideas which are out of alignment with their indoctrination!

#2  The FBI has a fundamental belief that the citizenry serfs exist to serve the state. Anything to make the masters duties easier overrides those old fashion 'rights' written up by a bunch of old white males.

What do they want to do? Be able to say they had (anyone) people under observation again before said people did something despicable? They got it now with dangerous people and do absolutely nothing till after the fact. Their problem isn't date collection, it's the internal processes to act upon what they already have.

#1  No.

You can't snoop in my stuff without a warrant. That is why we have the 4th amendment assholes.

The above is in plain text so you fucknuts can read it. As is the below.

Fuck off.
