I'd like to know where the anger was when the fucking Patriot Act was first passed. Holy shit these fuckwits were getting hurt climbing all over each other to kiss GWB's ass when this atrocity was "debated". And then again when they made it permanent. You reap what you sow, and this is the harvest.

Now that they've been caught out, after approving every step of it they start this kind of bullshit.

They've never heard of it, fuck that noise all the way to every Congressional district in the fucking country.!

Anybody, and I mean anybody, that's been paying even the most basic attention to the security apparatus in this country since 2001 isn't the least bit surprised by any of these "revelations". The phony fucking outrage is more infuriating than the actual NSA. I claim that any Congressperson or Senator that says they've never heard of it is nothing but a fucking liar.
