Does it bother you even one little whit as a Democrat ??

65. The OP never refers to Obama. That was YOUR conclusion - a little defensive, are we?

You accuse the OP of "disregard for truth", without backing up that accusation. It is a valid point of debate that if FISA rubber stamps over 99% of warrant requests, it is basically a kangaroo court. Here's a link for that from Wikipedia. I do hope that you don't consider Wikipedia a giant, anti-Obama plot. Bottom line: over an entire 33 year period, the FISA court has approved all but 0.03 percent of warrant requests.

It is also rare for FISA warrant requests to be turned down by the court. During the 25 years from 1979 to 2004, 18,742 warrants were granted, while just four were rejected. Fewer than 200 requests had to be modified before being accepted, almost all of them in 2003 and 2004. The four rejected requests were all from 2003, and all four were partially granted after being submitted for reconsideration by the government. Of the requests that had to be modified, few if any were before the year 2000. During the next eight years, from 2004 to 2012, there were over 15,100 additional warrants granted, with an additional seven being rejected. In all, over the entire 33-year period, the FISA court has granted 33,942 warrants, with only 11 denials – a rejection rate of 0.03% of the total requests.[5]

Note that Wikipedia references the Wall Street Journal for its statistics.

Meanwhile, the OP lists over a dozen other issues, none of which you replied to. Try, if it is possible, to separate your knee-jerk defense of Obama, even when Obama has not been named,to consider the realities of what's going on in this country, and whether you approve. The way to do this, is to ignore who is president, or which party controls either chamber of the US Congress, and look at the reality of what this country's government is perpetrating upon its own citizens and the citizens of the world.

An easy place for you to start would be with evaluating GOP Governor Walker versus freedom of speech, or the possibility of losing the right to vote, as per the GOP controlled states passing draconian voting requirements.
