I agree. The fit that the Republicans have been throwing over the last year about the IRS, Benghazi, Obamacare, is ridiculous in light of what NSA is doing. Yet, try to get one of them to focus on a real issue such as our government spying on us and our allies, and they are silent. Reason? Republicans are eyeball deep in support of the NSA programs. It's all smoke and mirrors yet most Americans can't see that. 

 

I hold most of the Democrats in office responsible too. Its time to clean house in our government. We should pay close attention to how Egypt has taken back their country. I don't advocate for a violent coup by no means, but they have shown us that we can take back the power if we stand together. Those that continue to be distracted by petty scandals will never see the big picture. 

 

 

The only two congressmen that have continuously fought against the spying and spoke out against it are Udell and Wyden. Both Democrats. They were sounding the alarm long before any of us had ever heard of Snowden. 

 

Seems that now we are back to the days of the Bush administration and the fearmongering that was used to get Americans to accept the Patriot Act. Make Americans scared of a terrorist attack and they will allow the government the power to take any measures they want to make us "safe". Even taking away huge chunks of our rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
