PRISM, Spying and Government Overreach

by Jessica B. June 18th, 2013 Democratic Deliberations
It always surprises me when people claiming to be against big government seem to give spying programs like PRISM a free pass. It seems that big government is totally welcome to violate our freedoms when it is in their interest, but when they disagree with the philosophy behind it, big government is un-American.

As someone who generally tends unplugged to support big government when the purpose behind it is to improve the living quality of the people within the country, I tend to fall on the opposite side of the fence. I have no problem with income tax and federally funded

Return Of “The American Way”: A Hollywood Victory!

by Eric M. Blake June 17th, 2013 Conservative Considerations
flag starThis past weekend, Ronald Rowe and I joined forces once again for a one-two punch of film analysis — or in this case, a one-two-three, as my esteemed colleague’s triumphant return to Camp Campaign has allowed him to dedicate the upcoming "Winners & Losers" column to the film in question, in addition to his always-superb FlickRev review.  Keep an eye out, folks!

Now … for my thoughts.  And folks … I feel absolutely elated as I write this — the fact that I’m listening to John Williams’s classic Superman theme is of little consequence, of course….

The film,naturally, is Man of

A Statement on PRISM and the NSA Issue

by Jason Lightner June 13th, 2013 Independent Ideas
keypadThis past week it was revealed that the National Security Agency (NSA) has been using its influence to spy on millions of Americans through a secret data-gathering program called PRISM.

Initially, the only report said that the NSA had access to millions of Verizon phone records; not calls, mind you, but metadata like duration of call, GPS location, and the other party's number. Many were shocked,

A Winner in Exile

by Ronald A. Rowe June 14th, 2013 Winners & Losers
hkThe City of Atherton, California – Loser – The City of Atherton spent $8,000 on security and cleanup for one of President Obama’s fundraising events in April. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised $3 million at the event. Atherton officials thought it reasonable that the DCCC kick back .0003% of their haul to cover the costs incurred by the city. They billed the White House. They billed the Democratic National Committee. They billed the Secret Service. This week Town Manager George Rodericks made it clear that Atherton is not

President Obama’s Anti-Privacy Campaign

by T Akery June 11th, 2013 Republican Reflections
hands n phonesBack when President Obama was campaigning for the Presidency, he criticized Bush’s view of national security. Yet as the leaks keep coming, it is clear that he has kept up and expanded on many of Bush’s policies. Perhaps, history will remember him as both the Food Stamp King and the Anti-Privacy President.

The whole thing is frankly a huge embarrassment for the President. It seems he is quite incapable of controlling any government entities. His claims of having no knowledge of the recent scandals make him seem completely uninterested in his own administration. What’s worse is that he keeps making
