[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]According to this article:

The Obama Administration was essentially spying on the Associated Press, secretly obtaining telephone records in response to an article about a CIA operation to stop a terrorist attack originating in Yemen.

The Obama Administration's continual spying and even assassination of Americans have been things that I have frequently criticized. Unfortunately, liberals seem to go along with it because they trust Obama and conservatives go along with it because they think it only affects Arabs and Muslims. Now, maybe people will realize this is worth some attention.

To all of you outraged by Benghazi and the IRS, I submit that this is far more serious. When the government spies on it citizens without impunity, we are not living in the country we thought we were.

I agree that this isnt making any sense and I hate the excuse most of us (dems) give in that we "trust" Obama or said Dem so we should ignore it. Well the same will be said of conservatives and a republican president, so when does it stop?

Ive said plenty of times on here that this selective outrage people tend to have because of the R or D after someone's name needs to stop. Sometimes, we need to act clear headed here and just see things as right or wrong without determining if the person is on "our side".

If you cant equally get upset about this if you are a conservative and a republican president did this, you might as well stop. all you are doing is being upset cause it obama.

i havent read responses but im sure weve gotten to the back and forth on republican or democract president x did something similar (and its probably not similar but you need something to pull out your ass) and the constant back and forth on the tit for tat which brings us to nothing[/quote]
