LMAO….Wile E. Coyote….LMAO….

What has FITS and the democrat party F*#K#D to this point: No one has been hacked…

I’m likely much more safe now..and the government is taking money I GAVE them, and paying for my cyber security…

I would not be surprised to see you desperate Idiots make a bunch of fabricated claims close to the election, to try to make hay. But to this point, you have really looked like the Dumb@$$#$ you are…You’re reduced to hoping for South Carolinians to get robbed, so you can get political points for liberals and liberal-tarians…LMAO….

Are you suggesting we have not been hacked? Are you suggesting this is not a serious matter? Are you suggesting we do nothing to protect ourselves? This is a serious matter–not a silly dialectic debate. You need to get some perspective.

Dude….you are debating BigT/GrandTango.

How can I put this?…….

Let’s just say that he probably is not well versed in Hegelian political philosophy.

*cough* T is the Rachel Jeantel of FITSNEWS posters.*cough*

Perhaps you could have said :

“This ain’t no party…
THIS AIN’T NO DISCO….
THIS AIN’T NO FOOLIN’ AROUND!”

or you could have just called him a “dumb@$$ motherf##ker”.

Fabricated claims, like,

“I wasn’t allowed in the Miss Bamberg pageant because I was neither Negro or White”, or,

“My daughter won first place in her school pageant”.
That kind of fabricated claim?
You make it too easy.
Also, please note, no keyboard kussing contained.
Let me end with one of your favorite quotes, followed by an up and comer:
YOU BETCHA!
YOU BETCHA!
Let Allah figure it out.

This is one of the biggest failures of government I have ever seen. We in SC will have our financial information forever in jeopardy. Thanks, Nikki Haley.

Whether the CFPB and its operations are Constitutional is a matter for SCOTUS. CFPB, rightly or wrongly, exists as a result of legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President. If you want to test its Constitutionality, I suggest you petition SCOTUS. Ranting on an internet blog will not settle the matter.

Technology is a good reason to clean house in legislature everywhere. We have legislator that have to have staff to explain “What’s going on” and hacking is not clearing your throat. No senior needed

Are the people objecting to collection of telephony metadata by the US government pleased when a police investigation of a crime is able to solve it because that metadata can be accessed?

Yeah, when there’s a warrant.

A warrant is worthless unless some agency has collected the metadata in the first place. Do you trust a private corporation to hold this data — for how long? their call? — or for a government agency to hold it?

We already know that private corporations are selling and trading their data on us for private monetary gain.

Private corps don’t have the legal use of force at their discretion. Govt. does. That’s the prob.

Tom, a warrant can be obtained and this information obtained after the fact – it is kept by the phone companies already for the most part for months. Also, these programs are costing the tax payer tens if not hundred of billions – yes, that is the cost of Obamacare and the Bush wars put together – we better be solving a lot of fucking crimes I’d hope.

This is also the technology they used to catch Gen. Patraeus – who along with this girlfriend was using an old spy method of just typing draft e-mails then the other would sign in, and read/delete it. The government is ALREADY reading and obtaining THAT information from private e-mail accounts. And you are totally okay with that??? Amazing.

Yes sir. I am objecting to the collection of metadata for any reason except for billing purposes. With that data they can determine where you were, who you called and how long you talked. With that what you talked about can then be grabbed and looked at when desired.

These current and controversial surveillance behaviors are essentially GOP formulations from the Bush W. years; they are also nothing new. Our national security establishment has massive installations all over the planet that eavesdrop on telephone, wireless and military transmissions. When you fart in Russia, the CIA can smell it. The FBI has been in bed with Ma Bell for decades.Then there are those picture-taking satellites. Sad that Obama doesn’t have a fresh approach to all this.

What Huxley and Orwell, not to mention Terry Gilliam, warned of is also being done to a turn by private enterprise–and there is much more to be feared from TRW, Experian, Checkpoint, Google, Yahoo and your local ISP than by the boys at the NSA–who, even with the FBI in tow, couldn’t prevent the horrible maiming and the deaths during the Boston Marathon bombing.
