So Obama stopped the NSA mass collection program during its administration?
- 0xfeba 10y agoNo, but he pushed to implement net neutrality and the rules in question. Sorry, I'd have to agree. "Both sides do it" is an easy platitude, but Democrats aren't trying to teach the Bible in schools, that Evolution is a lie, that Climate Change is a lie, that wealth trickles down, that more of the "free market" can somehow solve our gigantic healthcare problem, that smoking doesn't kill, that abortion is murder but somehow women who have one shouldn't go to jail for it, that there's no such thing as a wall between church and state, oh wait--Islam?! Yes there's definitely a wall between Islam and state; that keeping guns regulation free makes us all safer, the list goes on. I'd agree the left has some problems and they do the same emotional manipulating just to get votes. But they also just happen to be manipulating people about issues that are mostly factually supported.
- cortesoft 10y agoThat is a completely separate thing?
- st3v3r 10y agoNSA spying is far, far, far different than having all your info available to the highest bidder.
- adrr 10y agoNSA spying on citizens wasn't because of corporate interests. Obama was extremely paranoid that a terrorist attack would affect his legacy and reputation.
