Your displeasure with this Democratic President and your favoring of S. American countries' gov.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by pacalo (a host of the General Discussion forum).

is duly noted.

We get it. You have problems with authority of any kind.

[sabrina 1]

1. Do you have a 'LIST'?? Where will it be posted??

[Marr]

4. No shit-- this is bizarre.

YOUR UN-AMERICAN OPINION HAS BEEN "NOTED".


lol

[sabrina 1]

9. Well, this is what happens in a state that spies on its own people. Ask anyone who

ever lived in such a state. People want to please the state, they become willing to turn in their neighbors and even family members. They keep 'lists'. It brings out the good and the bad in people.

Someone would have to torture me or one of my loved ones before I would become a despicable informer. There is no lower form of life. It was informers who got so many killed in Nazi Germany and elsewhere, and for what? A pat o the back from the 'authorities'? Out of some kind of misguided 'loyalty'?

This OP sickens and frightens me frankly considering how many people I have known who were unfortunate enough to come from oppressive countries where this was a real fear.

'The List'!! A shameful, unless it's meant to be a joke, OP to see here. Sickening actually.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

11. no. just disgusted with the wash, rinse, repeat of the Snowden alcolytes bashing Obama

reallly sick of it. This topic is already old, but something tells me there are posters here who have fully invested themselves in Snowden Fever and will feverishly translate every missive from South American capitals and help us understand how it is another nail in Obama's coffin.

blah.

[Skittles]

25. I know who sounds "feverish"

[Skittles]

16. gawd, do NOT ask them for "THE LIST"

it must be five feet long by now

[avaistheone1]

2. And

[freshwest]

3. I like South America. You know, Texas.

Viva Tejas! And all the rest of them.

[hrmjustin]

5. HUH?

[Fumesucker]

6. FDS

Firebagger Derangement Syndrome.

[hrmjustin]

12. I wonder if there is a list.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

15. undoubtedly. you Snowden keyboard jockeys are the vanguard of freedom fighters and naturally

would be at the very top of any hypothetical list.

[hrmjustin]

19. I am not a snowden fan or detractor. I could care less about him.

I care about what the NSa is doing.

[liberal_at_heart]

20. +1

[sabrina 1]

22. So who has 'noted' this 'disloyalty' pray tell us?

I love South America and love how they have gotten out from under the thumbs of their Western backed Dictators who were selling their resources, torturing their dissidents, and impoverishing their nations. NOW that is over, it's quite amazing how fast it happened after so many decades of oppression, with Western backing of course.

So I KNOW I am on 'The List'!

Your OP is very much expected in a country that has lost its way so spectacularly.

Homeland Security has a website, you might want to turn in your list to them. We pay them enough to keep them in operation, may as well at least give them something to do.

[hrmjustin]

26. No fair I want to be on the list to.

[Kurska]

7. Oh god I've been noted n/t

[BainsBane]

8. I am not now nor have ever been a member of the Communist party

Now how many friends do I have to rat out to save my skin?

[freshwest]

17. Start with Rand Paul. Please, pretty please!

Wait, he's with those guys...

We are sooo screwn, BB!

[avaistheone1]

10. Chill~

[Pretzel_Warrior]

13. lol

[woo me with science]

14. "You have problems with authority of any kind."

Our representatives are public servants. They work for us, not the other way around.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

18. and we've vested in them the authority to enforce their own laws

the laws of our land. if you've got a problem with it...work with Congress to change the laws.

[woo me with science]

21. Bullshit. Mass surveillance is a big FU to the Constitution and to all of us.

They obviously need a strong reminder of whom and what they are there to stand for.

[sabrina 1]

23. BS! We invested in them only one thing, read the oath they all took. THAT is what we employed them

to do. And they have failed, most of them, to do the job they were hired to do.

And their employers, that would be the American people, are not happy. Seen any numbers on Congress' popularity lately? On the US Government anywhere in the world??

This is a government OF the people, FOR the people, and BY the people. How quickly people forget these things and suck up to those who they view as some kind of 'authority'. They are employees, that is all. No better and some a whole lot worse than most of the people themselves.

[avaistheone1]

24. Is it okay?

[Comrade Grumpy]

27. This is stupid.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

28. no. you know what is stupid? people automatically going to "a list"

that's some paranoid shit right there. All I said in normal society would be construed as "yes, we've heard your complaints. we get it."

but the rabies-infused strain of posters now conflate my statement into "an enemies list" and "informing on people".

uhhh....if you went there.....you need your head examined.

There is only white space between the lines.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

31. I will admit it. I was number 2!

And proud of it!

[Pretzel_Warrior]

33. thank you!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

34. You are quite welcome!

[Cha]

39. I wondered who that was..

So happy to see you in our jury pool.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

32. :D

yay! permission to speak freely!

[liberal_at_heart]

35. yes indeed we all have the freedom to speak freely including those of us who feel the

NSA is violating the 4th Amendment. If you don't like it, you can ignore the posts, you can filter threads so that you don't have to read them or you can outright put people on ignore.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

38. I'd rather call b.s. when I see it.

i don't need to wall myself off from other people or opinions. I know. How open and progressive of me!!

[Cha]

40. And, you do

such a good job or they wouldn't be trying to shut. you. down.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

43. thank you again. I can only hope to rise to the level of being accused

of earning my living from DLC or the Obamas by posting here on good old DU.

[liberal_at_heart]

45. then we can call you on your b.s. as well. Myself I tend to state my opinion and move on.

I guess my pet peeve is when people get aggressive and insist on arguing with someone until they force them to change the way they think and agree with them, which never happens. If you don't feel the government if violating the 4th Amendment that is your freedom to do so. It is also my freedom to think they are and to put pressure on the politicians I vote for, and to vote for someone else is I am displeased with the way they represent me.

[Cha]

36. lol..

Yes, sir! You've earned it.

[quinnox]

30. Alrighty then

And to add to this, I just found RT television is available on my satellite tv, and I have been watching it and am happy to watch it. RT stands for Russian TV.

[sabrina 1]

37. I love RT. You get real news, from all over the world and some great liberal voices we don't

get to hear on the Corporate Media. Larry King just joined them btw.

Thom Hartman and Max Keiser both have shows on RT, but their documentaries, their interviews with famous and infamous world leaders are excellent. No shouting over someone who is being interviewed, and few commercial interruptions.

I cannot watch what passes for news on the corporate media. All our 'news' people are nothing more than entertainers.

Have you noticed the number of young women reporters, real reporters they have? And who intelligent and well informed on so many subjects they are? I wonder why they couldn't get jobs on the corporate media? Too smart I suppose.

[quinnox]

41. yes, I have noticed, There was one reporter who I was impressed with

and not just because she was pretty either. She really seemed to know her stuff, and had strong opinions. And they were progressive opinions, which was refreshing.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

42. yeah. I really appreciated the guitar solo Brian Williams did the other night

he is nothing if not a consummate entertainer.

[pacalo]

46. Meta -- Locking.
