A reminder that there are big-government Progressives in
both parties. McCain and Graham are two other GOP examples.
They crave power and control as much as any Democrat, and are willing to use the rationale of "national security" to achieve their ends, which have little to do with keeping Americans safe.
Our enemy is not "terror" or "terrorism", as is currently pretended, but radical Islam. Building a massive data collection infrastructure that captures nearly
all private communications and stores it exclusively for government use in undefined ways is not going to do a
goddamned thing to defeat the enemy.
That would require identification, intelligence gathering, and infiltration of the
enemy, not innocent Americans. Let's start with the Mosques known to house and train members of radical Islamic groups and known terrorist training camps right here in America
It will, however assist in the domination and control of the American people from our overlords in Washington, DC. If Peter King was serious about national security, he might begin by asking what a major
Islamic training camp is doing in his home state of New York.
