Maybe it's because I've held a Top Secret security clearance once...

the man's [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]an idiot[/FONT]. Pure and simple. However, the mere fact [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]that he received a security clearance[/FONT] and a job at a big time contractor
[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]is highly problematic[/FONT], in that it's a clear demonstration that the system is so hopelessly bloated that just about [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"] any idiot can become part of it[/FONT]. There are just too many people with security clearances out there.

Here's a man who took a [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]doofus who was shocked about common knowledge[/FONT] in the field of which he was supposed to be working and [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]
sen-sen-sation-sationalized[/FONT] (echo) it because sensationalizing things is his stock and trade. Especially, if it's anything [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]to make the present administration look bad[/FONT].

Our Constitutional rights are important. The issue, unfortunately, is that a lot of people are using [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"] 18th Century standards[/FONT] to a problem that's as old as the 20th Century. [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Your rights were destroyed even before most of us were born[/FONT]. This is an extension of the [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]1947 National Security Act[/FONT] and has been tweaked and bloated ever since.


[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]repealing that god-damned PATRIOT Act[/FONT]. The only people for whom that thing is doing any good are the contractors who are cashing in big time because of it, and the politicians whose careers depend upon getting the American people to cheer them on while they slip the contractors a nice, friendly hand-job under the table while they're having their lobster bisque and arugula.


Better yet, stop listening to [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]the fools in the media[/FONT] who should know better than to sacrifice a rube or two in order to try [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"] getting everyone to go straight into panic mode. If it bleeds, it leads, Baby[/FONT]. Even if they have make shit up,

[FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]sensationalize common knowledge[/FONT] and use it to troll whomever mercilessly, you need to fucking chill.
