Our government is scarier than bad guys

It’s official. I am more worried about my Government than I am from any “terrorist”.

In the name of “keeping you safe”, the National Security Agency obtained a secret court order to spy on EVERY American who uses a Verizon phone. But don’t worry, they pinky-swear it’s all in the name of catching terrorists, bad guys and people that want to hurt you. I call BS.

As an American citizen, your chance of being impacted, injured or killed by a terror attack are as likely as you getting to walk on the moon. The odds of your Government spying, snooping and using your private information against you are becoming as likely as the sun rising in the morning.

In the name of the “War On Terror” the Federal Government has trampled on the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and most sane people’s idea of personal privacy. And only the sheeple who think every bump in the night is an Al Qaeda plot will defend the Draconian tactics of this (and previous) administration’s intrusions into your private phone calls. Oh, and if you think they are only tapping Verizon customers, I have a bridge to sell you.
