Political blinders

Getting tired of hearing about the conservative outrage about the current NSA surveillance programs. Where the hell was that outrage when the patriot act had a 75% approval rating with republicans in 2006?

And why is it that 63% of democrats approve of NSA surveillance now that it's a Democrat doing it, but only 37% approved of similar programs under Bush?

This country needs to start thinking outside of political boundaries. Our media is attempting to force these political blinders on all of us, and the only way to get rid of them is find the information for yourself. The internet is a much better source of news than Fox or CNN if you know how to find the information.

Better yet, watch some international news. Might surprise you how differently other countries view our issues.

I can't think about anything else but a video I saw , almost 10 years old showing people already telling " yeah sometimes we were bored at work so we would listen to some randoms phone calls ". And then explaining that every communication were already hijack just around 9/11.

Yeah, this is probably the biggest issue with American politics - far, far too many people are only okay with things done by their party or have a far different level of tolerance for their own party's decisions.

I think it might partially be because they think its under control and that their leader is doing things carefully, so they have some trust in their president and how he runs things even if the underlying laws are the same.

It's way easier to identify yourself with a given color, than to have to think every issue by yourself.

It's sad but true.

Wait wut. Really? That seems kind of surprising to me.

I wish our political system were conducive to having more than two main parties

where are your polls coming from and how are they conducted

you can make any group of people say whatever you want in any number of ways and make it seem legitimate to people who dont know anything about acceptable statistical methods
