President Obama will seek sweeping laws enabling law enforcement to more easily eavesdrop on the internet. Technologies are changing, the administration argues, and modern digital systems aren't as easy to monitor as traditional telephones.

The government wants to force companies to redesign their communications systems and information networks to facilitate surveillance, and to provide law enforcement with back doors that enable them to bypass any security measures.

Anyone who supports such legislation is an evil, fascist-socialist.

Like me. I care. I even care enough to post about it on Dave's.

Seriously, though, this sucks.

Not only this, but Obama wants all money transfers to be monitored, not just those of $10k or higher. Meaning you'll need to give your social security number for any transfer of money.

And also the assassinations.

Actually, to respond to caniff's point, I really feel diminished merely discussing this on a forum. There has to be something we can do.

Makes me wanna grab a soapbox and start frothing at the mouth over on Boston Common (I'm back in the US - yay!).

My soapbox and I would probably be arrested.

It was your idea! I was just trying to help.

Besides, I know you can take a joke - as well as dish them out.

Can't depend on Congress or SCOTUS. The executive is a bankster/neocon dedicated position.

Americans have states rights left to check this growth, I reckon.

Cass R. Sunstein, who is (surprise) in the Obama admin wrote a book that the state should penetrate domestic groups who don't completely fall in line. That's entirely against the American system as it was designed. He was apparently #2 behind Kagan for the SCOTUS position. That's how far this has gone.

Cass Sunstein is an ultra-radical socialist law professor who's been placed into one of the most powerful positions in the federal government. In addition to calling for a COINTELPRO-style effort to sabotage patriot movements with agent provocateurs and ban such "conspiracy theories" as 9/11 being an inside job, global warming, etc. (and no doubt any suggestion that the government is corrupt in any way), he's stated openly he'd like to get rid of the 2nd amendment. Here's a clip of him lecturing against the right to bear arms and predicting our rights will be repealed in the near future: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flfHZgT-SeI&feature=player_embedded

As the information and regulatory affairs czar, he (a radical fascist-socialist lawyer) has been put in an extremely powerful position (by his fellow lawyer friend, Obama), effectively in charge of all executive enforcement of law. He has openly stated and written books that the president, not the courts, should interpret all executive law. He was advocating this stuff even during the Bush administration and supported the president's creation of military commissions without congressional approval, as well as the illegal spying on the American people (both of which have continued under Obama). http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/03/26/court

He's now leading the charge to ban free speech on the internet, which of course is all announced by he and his ilk in their mild-mannered, simpering liberal tone, as if it's all normal and for our own good.

Among other things this nut job also thinks that any use of animals by people is morally akin to slavery, that hunting should be banned, and that animals should even be allowed to sue human beings in a court of law (with human lawyers representing them, paid for by the taxpayer). No joke...

Last but not least, here's an essay he wrote in 1999, where he says we should all celebrate tax day and literally declares that we owe everything to our loving government, and without taxation there could be no private property or freedom Rolling Eyes Yes, extreme Marxism is still very much alive and well, in the highest levels of our government. http://home.uchicago.edu/~csunstei/celebrate.html
