National Security Letters Reform Act Reintroduced
eldavojohn writes "A bill introduced today, similar to one that died in 2007, would reform the plague of National Security Letters and greatly narrow their scope. On top of that, it would mandate the destruction of any wrongly obtained information discovered in audits by the Inspector General that uncovered widespread improprieties in NSLs."
Obama, puppet of the oligarchs and banking cabals. Throw the proles a "bone" but tighten the noose everywhere else.

- Russia on an new world reserve currency: It is necessary to work out and adopt internationally recognized standards for macroeconomic and budget policy, which are binding for the leading world economies, including the countries issuing reserve currencies - the Kremlin proposals read.
- President Barack "The Teleprompter" Obama is deeply connected to corruption. Rahm Emanuel, his Chief of Staff, is radical authoritarian statist whose father was part of the murderous civilian-killing Israeli terrorist organization known as IRGUN who is obsessed with gun control and compulsory service to the country in a capacity which he has yet to define. (Think brown-shirts.) Barack is intimately connected to disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (Rahm inherited Rod's federal-congress seat). Barack Obam
Was the best movie of all time.
Why is "hate crime" legislation a good thing again?
If I beat you up and leave you for dead, that's one victim.
If I beat you up and leave you for dead because I don't like your hair color, and it's known that I belong to a large group of similarly-minded people, then not only have I victimized you, but everyone who has your same hair color is now going to be looking over their shoulders, in fear that one of my compatriots is after them next.
That's why "hate crimes" deserve special punishment - because they have the intent and effect of victimizing not just one or two or a few people, but a whole group. It's a whole new level of unacceptability.

Your sig is a common bible misquote.
Money is the root of all evil?
It's "The wont of money is the root of all evil."
Wont of money is being utterly accustomed to it, completely in the habit of wealth.
Thus it's the Marie Antoinette "Let them eat cake", I'm entitled to a $37,000 antique
toilet that doesn't even flush type -- the rich pig who never earned it -- that's the one
being condemned. Not the productive capitalist who produces something useful and prospers.
Nonetheless the Ayn Rand that you linked to is great, fascinating reading. (And unlike
the bible, I've actually read every word of Atlas Shrugged.)
Dude, if there's anything less productive than arguing with an AC, it's arguing with an AC that mouthing racist right-wing crap that somebody has already modded down.
And yet I still have far more relevance than you, someone who chimes in well after the fact to futilely point out the unimportance of things that don't matter.
When you die, not a single soul will mourn you, as is proper and right.
You spend half your waking life writing post after post on a web site you claim to despise, and you say I'm irrelevant?
Look at my posting history. I actually convince people of stuff. When was the last time you convinced anybody of anything, except, "This guy is so full of himself"?
