At no time did I violate my oath to the Constitution of the United States.
At no time, during my 20 years of service with the Army Security Agency, the Intelligence Security Command, with the National Security Agency, did I, my fellow Army personnel, the Air Force Security Service personnel and Naval Securty Service personnel, that I also worked with, did we target, easedrop on, or open mail, tap into, etc., ANY citizen of the United States.
I'm sorry to break the news to you John, you just weren't interesting enough nor did you have anything of worth that would contribute to the National Defense of the United States of America.

I wish I could unionblue. I can't for fear of my own life, liberty and pursuit of property. His Excelllency has tasked his sychophants to monitor these boards constantly and log IP & E-mail Addresses and link them to what we say to whom when and where.
We may not know each other Ya'll, but THEY know US. Each and every one of US. They watch what we say. They coax US towards Sedition and all they while track US just waiting for the opportunity to crush our dissent.
You may be one of 'em unionblue.

Yikes!
By "THEY" do you mean Dick Cheney or those little green men in those pesky UFOs?
I guess if one is worried, one should stay off the internet, the telephones - live like the 'Unibomber'?
(I too am comfused, Ami.)

Just to try to get back to the Civil War, I find it interesting (in view of Ozark Iron John's comments) that it appears to have been the Confederacy (or the South Carolina secessionists, depending on where we want to place the responsibility) who first began using the "big-brother-is-watching" technique in the struggle when they started intercepting and reading Major Anderson's mail before they attacked Ft. Sumter in 1861.

That's a pretty good response.
I reckon the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were stepped on, trampled, violated and totally ignored by a whole bunch of different agents of the USA & CSA governments before, during and after the great unpleasantness. I ain't never said it was any other way. In fact, I think I said it was pretty much going on all around.
I think that's why alot-o-Southern folks fought. They saw our rights bein' trampled and they fought against it. They didn't fight "for" slavery and they didn't fight "against" it. They didn't fight "for" Jeff Davis, they fought "against" Abe Lincoln.
Modern day Reconstructionist Revisionists want to shove the evils of slavery and the glorious union down our throats. I think that's cause it makes 'em feel good, but that don't make it so.
If it is agreed that both sides committed 'war crimes' what is the point of trying to quantify competing atrocities or determining whose hands were 'more' bloody than anothers?
