   Biggest load of BS I have heard in a long time … dances better than Fred Astair. He needs to be replaced; ignorance abounds! Stupidity, stupidity, stupidity. The people who voted for Gingrey are getting what they deserve.

   This guy is so out of touch with everything. He did the same thing with his stupid gun comments and every time you ask him anything. You get a big dissertation on nothing and by the time he’s done you forgot your question!

   Sad how uninformed our elected servants have become.

   At the following link, watch 4 videos on how the NSA is spying on Americans. http://www.indefenseofliberty.tv/index.php/2013/06/nsa-spying-on-americans/#.UgW3kWjD-Uk

   1 – Interview with former FBI Counterterrorism Agent Tim Clemente
   2 – Interview with NSA whistleblower Mark Klein
   3 – Report and interview with NSA whistleblower William Binney
   4 – Interview with NSA whistleblower Russell Tice

   Snowden is not the first. There are others like Thomas Drake.

   The Patriot Act allows government agents to write their own search warrants without review by a judge and it’s illegal for you to even discuss with your attorney. (Search YouTube for video presentation by Judge Andrew Napolitano regarding natural rights and the Patriot Act parts 1, 2, &3.) And again, under the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, the provisions of the NDAA allow the federal government to arrest and detain U.S. citizens without ‘due process’ until the ‘end of hostilities’ on the order of the Executive Branch. Without due process means, no judge, no jury, no lawyer.

   When you combine the above you will see that we are losing our God given rights under natural law and under the Constitutional protections of the Bill of Rights. Specifically, the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments. The right to freedom of speech and thought; the right to privacy and to be secure in our persons, houses, and papers; and the right to due process. We are losing our system of checks and balances. We are moving away from the rule of law to the rule by men.

   So, considering all of the above, there are two approaches. We can either retreat and allow the controllers to continue to implement a surveillance/police state tyranny. Or, we can make a stand for liberty. If we don’t stand up for our rights and freedoms, we will lose them.

   “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

   He sounds just like Saxby Chambliss to me. Right now they are working on ways to limit the NSA’s right to our communication.
   We don’t need another condescending elitist in the Senate.

   Phil has been out of touch for quite some time. He does not read legislation before voting on it or supporting it. We do not need him in the Senate.
