Yes it’s true, the Pentagon’s National Security Agency is researching data mining online sites like Myspace and Friendster.
Big Brother is watching you! “So be careful what you say” to quote the White House. With a vastly unpopular President presiding over an administration that sees itself as all powerful (using the emergency war powers of the constitution), this is a scary time to be posting personal information about yourself online. Information you post today about yourself could end up in a database at the NSA, and someday, when you grow successful, some crooked politician could “somehow” get information about your ignorant youth.
I know that sounds a little far fetched. Just think for a second how far-fetched it was to even imagine that the NSA was wiretapping American citizens without a warrant, or logging millions of American’s phone records, but the plain and simple truth is that it happened and will continue to happen. Especially as long as Democrats can’t get the investigation of such illegal actions through congress.
Come this Fall however, that can change. Do what all good American generations of the past have done when they are being run by crooked politicians, through the bums out! In this case, the Republicans have run this country in to the ground.
If we are a society based on liberty and freedom, why don’t we stand firm for these beliefs? The government was able to stop several terror attacks under Bill Clinton, but Bush gets to take our freedom away because he failed to stop 9-11, even though they had all the evidence in front of them that an attack could occur and even had several of the highjackers in their sites? Where is the logic in that?
Hey, it’s your freedom, you are free to watch it destroyed. You are free to watch a new aristocracy of dictatorial proportions rise to power if you so wish. Just as I am free to do everything I can to oppose such a rise. Well I am for now. Who knows, this may end up in a government file somewhere.
