-Ephesians 5:11-13
Electronic Frontier Foundation: Victory Over Cyber Spying This morning [Thursday, August 2nd], the US Senate defeated the Cybersecurity Act of 2012, a bill that would have given companies new rights to monitor our private communications and pass that data to the government. The bill sponsors were 8 votes short of the 60 votes necessary to end [...]
With just two co-sponsors (there should be 50!), Paul’s bill won’t see the light of day. Which means that government drones will be keeping an eye on you. But not to worry: you won’t even know it.
How’s this for a change: the House voted in favor of invading our privacy and ignoring our rights while the Senate might just save us from those threats! Isn’t the House populated by small-government Tea Partiers with the Senate infested with big-government supporters who have little regard for such niceties?
If you them an inch they will take a mile.
Big Brother wants to track your smartphone, but it’s for your own good. Trust us. Really.
The title of this article should be stronger. Something like: CISPA is just part of the game. White House threats are part of the game, offering token resistance and avoiding any conversation about the bill’s total unconstitutionality and that it should be rejected out of hand.
The ever-encroaching state means that the battle for liberty is never won, but easily lost. All it takes is for people to relax and think that the last battle was the last battle.
The pen is mightier than the sword. And so, it appears, is the cellphone. The right to video tape government officials’ bad behavior has always been a citizen’s right. Now the courts and, amazingly, the Department of Justice as well, are recognizing and confirming the right. It’s showtime!
We really know what’s happening here. Aside from conditioning us to the ever-encroaching police state, these searches are an indirect attack on the Second Amendment as well.
This was hard for me to write as there isn’t much good news. Both the Democrats and the Republicans overwhelmingly have voted to abrogate our rights enshrined in the Bill of Rights. That’s correct: our own elected representatives, who swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, are now guilty of treason by ignoring it and imperiously mandating controls and limitations on citizens never dreamed of in our founders’ worst nightmares.
