Why I'm not all worked up about PRISM

[mrjarrell]

Because the majority are fighting for their team, not liberty. Most that are angry now will go back to sleep on this issue once their team is in control again.

Am I worked up about this? What for? Nobody in Washington is going to do a damn thing about it besides campaign on the issue and then step right back into formation once elected.

Yep. And this issue points out the main reason I refuse to listen to the talking heads on TV or radio.

This crowd in control now are using the government AGAINST the people that don't agree with them.

They were and are using the IRS as a voter suppression tactic.
They are using it to punish their enemies. NOT FOREIGN ENEMIES.
Their domestic enemies, you know... people against socialism.

And you're working on the assumption that no-one in previous administrations has done the same thing? Hate to burst your bubble Print, but it's been done before by reps and dems alike. It's a favourite tool of theirs.

And thus the real reason that none of us should care about it. Others have done it before. So who cares?

Does this include politicians on both sides of the aisle? Even the ones on your team?

It would, and even though it sounds cliche, I vote for values and conscience of the individual...just so happens one party tends to be better aligned with my personal beliefs.

Care all you want. Nothing's gonna change. Focus on things that are changeable.

The hypocrisy is so obvious. Why can't more people see it?

Because it's innocuous when my guy does it.

As you say, nothing's gonna change so nothing is changeable.

I didn't say NOTHING was changeable...just THIS issue. Neither party is truly willing to give this up. Since we are a 2 party system, who is going to stop it? It will just go black again and quickly forgotten, like it has been all these years prior.
