Moonbat Moral Equivalence Alert: Alice Walker Begs Alicia Keys to Boycott Israel
by Shifra on June 18, 2013Singer/songwriter Alicia Keys is scheduled to perform on July 4th in Tel Aviv, Israel. And apparently, this is causing “The Color Purple” author Alice Walker to see red. Calling Israel “cruel, unjust, and unbelievably evil,’ Walker penned a letter to Keys, asking her to cancel the Tel Aviv appearance: via The Wall Street Journal: (The abridged article can be read here) … “you are putting yourself in danger (soul danger) by performing in an apartheid country.” The writer then compared the plight of the Palestinians to that of blacks in the American South prior to the civil-rights movement. “You were not born when we, your elders who love you, boycotted institutions in the U.S. South to end an American apartheid less...

Stay Tuned — Cameras In Cable Boxes Watching You
by Pat_S on June 17, 2013Last year Verizon filed for a patent for technology that would have infrared cameras and microphones monitor TV viewers behavior. Cameras in Your Cable Box? According to the patent application, the technology could detect ambient action, like people eating, exercising, reading, sleeping and more. “This may sound preposterous but it’s neither a joke nor an exaggeration,” Capuano said in a statement. “These DVRs would essentially observe consumers as they watch television as a way to super-target ads. It is an incredible invasion of privacy.” At least one member of Congress, Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass) is trying to stop this. The bill, called the We Are Watching You Act of 2013, would prohibit video service operators from collecting visual or audio...

Who’ll Take The High Road?
by Pat_S on June 16, 2013Dick Cheney defended the NSA collection of phone records on Fox Sunday News. He said we need all our military capabilities to prevent another terrorist attack which could very well be a deadly weapons attack such as a nuclear device or biological agent. He pointed out that all the NSA is doing is collecting a bag of phone numbers which are nothing more than common business records. He then goes on to say that divulging this program reveals crucial information to our adversaries. Are you kidding me? Even ignorant low-level drug dealers know enough to use burner phones. If you don’t watch the news you’d know phone records are routinely searched just by watching any episode of Law & Order....

Trust The Government
by Pat_S on June 14, 2013“Trust the government” is becoming the functional definition of privacy in America. It’s all a matter of what laws government passes to constrain government activity and what methods government uses to monitor government behavior. In the old tech days, the government couldn’t follow you around taking notes on your activities and then seal the file until such time you were suspected of being involved in planning a crime. That was a violation of the Fourth Amendment. Today’s technology gives government the ability to gather every breadcrumb of your life, every minute of every day. “Gathering” data, the government tells us, is not the same as “collecting” data. To collect date, i.e., view the details, the government needs a court order....

Presenting ==> The Obama Doctrine
by Shifra on June 12, 2013It was all so confusing, in the beginning of the Obama Regime. I mean, what exactly was O’s Foreign Policy? First, it looked like the “Give-Back-Your-Friends’-Gifts” Doctrine (Remember the Churchill Bust?) Then came The-Apology-Tour Doctrine. Followed by the “Bow-Really-Low-to-Foreign-Heads-of- State-Especially-If-They-Hate-Us” Doctrine. Then, the “What-Me-Worry?” Doctrine. (Remember Neda, who bled to death in the streets of Teheran, as the Iranian protesters begged for Obama’s support?) This was followed by the “Hey-Let’s-Back-The-Wrong-Guys-To-Ensure-That-The-Muslim-Brotherhood-Throws–The-Entire-Middle-East-Into-Chaos” Doctrine. So many shifts, so many different stances. And now, we have two more versions of The Obama Doctrine: via National Review Online — Charles Krauthammer: Obama’s Dorothy Doctrine “This war, like all wars, must end. That’s what history advises . . .” — Barack Obama, May 23 Nice thought. But much as...
