They also helped stop an alien space invasion too. Yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket!
Immigration Activists March on Kansas Secretary of State’s Home, Leave Behind ‘Shoes of the Fathers That He’s Deported’

May find out if he takes them to civil court in a law suit for property damage. Looks to me like this constitutes a hate crime of intimidation, coercion and public threat against a government official on private property.

When they can’t run from their racist past they rewrite history. Wallace, Byrd, Lester Maddox. And it wasn’t just in the south.

Explosive: Rep. Louie Gohmert Gets FBI Director to Make Stunning Admission About Convicted Terror Supporter

They don’t know squat about Muslim terrorists except to kiss their ass but justify spying on the rest of America? With that policy German would be the international language today.
Be Aware: Car Thieves Are Using Some Kind of Universal Car Remote…And Cops Are ‘Stumped’

In reply to BlackCrow.

Exactly. PBS had segment on young guy in Washington who hacks things for a living so manufacturers can find out security holes. He demoed hacking a car. First he found one by having an accomplice blink the lights, unlock the doors then start it. Next he demonstrated how he could apply the brakes to a moving vehicle. It took a few months to accomplish this but he proved it could be done. He said that vulnerabilities to devices are wide open and a dangerous threat to safety.
TheBlaze TV Rewind: Ever Wonder Who’s Listening In? Extent of Government’s Domestic Spying Revealed in Debut of ‘For The Record’

Good point. Boehner is out in front trying to lay it on Obama who did vote for it and signed the reauthorization. Boehner voted for it 3 times. 2001, 2006 and 2008. James Sensenbrenner who is trying to run from it now like a dirty diaper sponsored the Patriot Act and has voted for it every time. The Patriot Act existed before 9/11. They just had to update it to incorporate new tech advances. From 9/11 it was “debated” and passed in 6 weeks. And that POS Lindsey Heinreich Graham would love nothing better than to implement a full police state with martial law. I bet he got a b*ner as he watched 9,000 LEOs descend on Massachusetts after the Boston incident.

Capturing the data is the easy part. Using the right products to filter it with meaningful results is the real challenge but those products exist. Predictive analytics, ontological data bases, content analytics and taxonomy software can all be applied to the data and filter it down for analysts to work with. Being that DHS views a hunch as cause to conduct a search then how long before the same protocol is applied to the NSA data? They add an ontology, taxonomy and begin going after patterns that may indicate any potential criminal activity whether true or not. It opens up a whole world of abuse and corruption. Who would know? It’s a classified program with no watchdog because Congress is even kept in the dark and must accept what they are told as credible. Why would they lie? LSD experiments, Tuskeegee, Gulf of Tonkin, financial crash. They lie every day. They have to or there would be anarchy.
Ghost of Columbia – Part II: Legendary Columbia Professor Never Heard of Obama

June 7, 2013 at 12:12pm

So who at Columbia 30 years ago created this ghost? How does an average student go from Occidental to Columbia then on to Harvard? He did nothing on the Harvard Law Review either. Nothing notable while practicing law. Were his legal skills so bad that he had to resort to teaching? Even his community organizing had no substance. Nothing notable in Illinois senate other than being present. U.S. Senate? No stellar leadership accomplishments there. He’s the greatest snake oil salesman and impostor of all time and actually pulled it off.
Intelligence Chief: Disclosure of Our Secret Surveillance Program Puts Americans’ Security at Risk

The IRS told Congress there was no targeting happening too. Benghazi was a spontaneous demonstration.

In reply to Rowgue.

You are correct. However the law is written and cloaked in secrecy and national security so that its almost impossible to challenge.
