Default Cash for Clunkers Scare

I found this a little bit interesting and a tad bit scary.

Nice to know that the government can search around your computer and see everything you do. I hope this isn't real but I would not be surprised.

in before lolfauxnews.

Yeah I've heard about this. I think that the US is becoming quite a scary place to live in. Where are all the people who were screaming at Bush because of the Patriot Act now?

The woman in the video mentions how this is legal. I am just curious if they could actually use anything they learn through this method of snooping around against a person in a court of law. I was unaware without consent that they could look into your own personal belongings.

Glenn Beck is a borderline pscho, a "reformed" alcoholic & drug addict who became a Morman and was saved, what an ass. Here is how much people trust him.

if that's true, Glenn Beck's credentials aside, is an astounding invasion of US personal rights.

That's RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing absurd if true.

If it's not true, lol faux news.

The US is getting a ton of cameras installed, usually at the town government level. I heard they were coming up with a new type one where if you don't have your mouth closed while driving (no singing to music, yelling at the kids, etc) you'll get automatically fined for talking on a cell phone.

Fun stuff.

BTW, Beck is more or less a libertarian now because the conservatives elected to washington started acting like liberals.

Metriod, there are certain places the government doesn't belong. We've got this little thing called the constitution so you might want to look up the 4th amendment. The US government cannot search or seize your belongings without either a warrant or probable cause allowed in some cases.

Furthermore, the white house wants people to rat on people who don't agree with its health care package by sending what the white house deems as questionable content... ie using your free speech rights to disagree with the health care package and is being accused of compiling an enemy's list. This is eerily reminiscent of when the nazis convinced schoolchildren to turn their parents into the government for not being good enough nazis.

True but that doesn't mean the similarities are or aren't true.

Places of liberty, like america was at its founding are not the rules, they are the exceptions and you really have to look after them because it doesn't take a whole lot before your liberty is lost.


Anyways the cash for clunkers program was bunk because it ran out of money too fast, took a lot of working cars off of the road, and most people ended up buying Japanese (Gogo Japan Auto Industry). I also have a concern with it because in the auto industry they usually make things fuel efficient by stripping weight off of the car. However that has a nasty little drawback of making the car more dangerous to be in when you are in a crash.

lol faux news

Read the article and see how Beck intentionally deceived his audience. This is the same thing we see from all moronic talk shows like this conservative or liberal. They jump to unverified conclusions just for the shock value. Look back at the whole obama birth certificate myth, and how they played that up with zero solid evidence.

You are wrong to say he intentionally deceived his audience because the wording was not understandable. In the article you posted they even change the wording to make it easier to understand so instead of jumping to conclusions and saying he is trying to brainwash his viewers maybe you can just look at it as he was mistaken, because that is the fact. Beck was mistaken.

That is if the article you posted is even true.

They took a privacy message from a different part of the site intended for dealers and made it look like it applied to consumers. How is that not deception?

If you need verification there's a link to all the sources.

THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT ACTED STUPIDLY/SOTOYMAYOR/HEALTHCARE PROGRAM.

Obama's on track to be one of the worst presidents we've ever had. This coming from me, who believed that Bush was certainly in the top5 worst.

Also awesome sauce, the "please report comments we don't believe reliable" thing is just horrific.
