Pretty damn coincidental if you ask me.

Or



?

1. What ever happened to our color coded terror

warnings. If this were the good old Bush Cheney times we would have orange bridge threats or something. It was a more colorful time I guess.

[Wilms]

3. Well, now that we're such a color-blind society...

...that old scheme no longer works. I miss it though. It gave me such a warm and safe feeling.

9. Yeah, you could always use it to gauge Bush's approval ratings at any given time n/t

[rhett o rick]

15. It was too complicated for Republicons. George never knew which color was good or bad. nm

2. freedom isnt free sometime it costs us lives

[-none]

4. Has the FBI ever caught a terrorist in the act before the fact,

without a sting?
I'm thinking that the sudden rise in ISIS threats, is just part of the "More Fear, All of the Time". You know like the changing color codes of old, to let us know when to be afraid... Or very Afraid!!!1!!?

5. Except that court didn't rule collection was unconstitutional.

The court ruled that NSLs created by the Patriot act couldn't be used to implement the collection.

What makes the metadata collection constitutional? An over-broad 1979 SCOTUS ruling.

You want to stop the collection, you either have to get Congress to declare phone records private ( ), or you need another case to reach the SCOTUS to change the 1979 ruling.

6. Home Depot must be overstocked on duct tape and visqueen.

Get down there and stock up right now!!11!

[upaloopa]

7. I think we are supposed to go shopping to

show the terrorists the freedoms we have that they love to hate. Or was that when we have a national disaster? I have completely forgotten what Bush and Cheney and Rummy told us to do and when we should do it.
We better elect Jeb so his brother can be in charge of terror alerts again.

[arcane1]

10. Bush also told us to go to Disneyland (in Florida, of course!)

Take THAT, Osama!

[bluesbassman]

11. Great idea! Shrub can sit in a soundstage holding colored paddles...

and Faux News can broadcast it live 24/7. WE'RE SAVED!!!!

8. Erecting bogeymen is stock in trade for the FBI.

[notadmblnd]

12. well I think I'm beginning to understand what may have been Ms Geller's motivation

for her little hate-fest over the weekend.

[historylovr]

13. Shh.

You're not supposed to notice.

[Octafish]

14. Meanwhile, Cass Sunstein says mentioning government criminality is a crime.

Mongering "conspiracy theories" threatens order.

Guess that makes noticing government criminality a crime.

Mentioning that the mass murdering war criminals Bush and Cheney, as well as their cronies, the Warmongers and the Banksters, walk free is probably treason.
