Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...
While the MSM is overrun diffusing the latest smokescreen (OMG teh CIA did MEAN THINGS TOO BAD GUYZ!!!)....You know, when the pull Dick Cheney out of mothballs, they must REALLY need to divert your attention...
Take a look at what they (the Media) are purposely ignoring - Specifically what Congress is up to right before they walk out the door for the holidays: http://investmentwatchblog.com/h-r-4...teroid-levels/ http://amash.house.gov/ In order to keep the government from shutting down, they've added a provision into section 309 of H.R. 4681 that essentially removes any and all restrictions on monitoring US citizens. >>>Sec. 309 of the new Intelligence Authorization Act permits the U.S. government to acquire, retain, and disseminate nonpublic telephone or electronic communications to or from a U.S. person<<< Congrats! You officially have zero privacy! And now it's all nice and legal-like!! Not that anyone has anything to hid anyway, of course. Thanks to Justin Amash (R.- MI) and the other 99 true American Patriots who voted against this. |

absolutely awful
and then there's the banking regulation that was changed.... DODD-FRANK: Democrats agreed to make some of the biggest changes yet to the 2010 financial regulatory reforms. In a deal sought by Republicans, the bill would reverse Dodd-Frank requirements that banks "push out" some of derivatives trading into separate entities not backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations. Ever since being enacted, banks have been pushing to reverse the change. Now, the rules would go back to the way they used to be. But in exchange, Democrats say they secured more money for the enforcement budgets at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CAMPAIGN FINANCE: The bill would dramatically expand the amount of money that wealthy political donors could inject into the national parties, drastically undercutting the 2002 landmark McCain-Feingold campaign finance overhaul. Bottom line: A donor who gave the maximum $32,400 this year to the Democratic National Committee or Republican National Committee would be able to donate another $291,600 on top of that to the party’s additional arms -- a total of $324,000, ten times the current limit. Read more on this here.

Wanted to determine who was behind the amendment to the original bill and now I can't breath!
And shame on you Paul Ryan Rep. WI for voting yea Quote:
Surely Obama will veto it and send it back, um to Feinstein. And how ironically noble of her to scold the CIA for human rights violations against terrorists, none U.S. citizens, on the same day she enacted an amendment that violates the constitutional rights of virtually every U.S. citizen using an electronic communications device. |

well, we kinda did sign a treaty against that.
but to have anyone calling out others, for stuff they knew about as well...and then when you've got pols turning this into yet another political football, and then arguing on one hand that metadata collection of u.s. citizens is ok, but other stuff isn't (looking at you diane feinstein), well.... i'm sick of the whole g**damned group. they all try to point fingers at other for doing stuff they do as well. and then we all sit here and watch everything go to hell in a handbasket, while they all do nothing, and blame each other for nothing going right, and everything going wrong, and saying 'he did this' when he knew full well it was going on, too. and signed off on it, or voted on it, to boot. they run for office saying they're going to fix this, repeal that, and none of them do a damned thing except pocket money and complain.
