More than half of the techno-narcissistic, ignorant, feeble minded, public school educated masses in this country think it’s wonderful that Big Brother monitors every electronic communication they make. They actually believe they are safer because unaccountable government sociopaths shit on the 4th Amendment to the Constitution every day. The ignorant masses had to really work hard to become this ignorant. Freedom, liberty, personal responsibility, hard work, and critical thinking are concepts that mean nothing to more than half the willfully ignorant morons in this country. Safety, security, iGadgets and entitlements are all that matter to the vast ignorant majority. We’re finished as a country. Ben Franklin nailed it two centuries ago:
“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Unbelievable. Maybe it’s because the NSA always “likes” them on FarceBook.
How wonderful that the NSA is keeping us safe.
Thank you Ben. Absolutely unbelievable. Reset please!
Wait till they find out NSA really stands for ‘No Shit, Asshole’.
While the number is going down …….. 79% of Americans are STILL “satisfied” with the level of freedom in this nation. Stoopid American sheep.

Michael Snyder says ….
Most Americans don’t seem to care that the TSA is fondling thousands of women and children in airports all over the nation every single day.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that the NSA is recording billions of our phone calls and emails.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that our police are becoming increasingly militarized. There were only about 3,000 SWAT raids in the United States back in 1980. But today, there are more than 80,000 SWAT raids per year in this country.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that a baby was recently maimed for life when a police officer threw a grenade into his crib during a SWAT team raid.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that police recently tasered a man 18 times. In fact, it barely made a blip on the national news.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that the Obama administration has discussed making gun owners wear RFID tracking bracelets.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that a new California law would allow police to confiscate guns based on accusation alone.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that our public schools have been transformed into “Big Brother” indoctrination centers.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that the U.S. border is considered to be a “Constitution-free zone” where officials can freely grab your computer and copy your hard drive.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that people are being sent to prison for collecting rain water on their own property.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that facial recognition technology is being installed all over the nation.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that the Obama administration has expressed a desire to establish a national DNA database.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that our cell phones are essentially high tech surveillance devices.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that if you type the wrong thing into a search engine that the police could come knocking on your door.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that local governments all over the country are now using automated license plate readers to scan our license plates.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that the federal government is grabbing hundreds of thousands of acres of private land all over the country.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that Bible-believing Christians are regularly identified as “religious extremists” in official government training materials.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that the federal government has identified dozens of different categories of Americans as “potential terrorists“.
Most Americans don’t seem to care that we have a president that is treating the Constitution like a piece of toilet paper.
WTF unbelievable… speechless at the stupidity
Like I said previously, it’s a damn shame Snowden wasted his life to reveal the spying. I’d love to hear his reaction to this poll.
I hope I live long enough to see the collective “oh shit” look on everyone’s faces when the finally realize that it most certainly was not acceptable!
I am SO fucking glad I never had kids!
Our owners sure knew what they were doing by co-opting the nations children at such an early age. Kids are probably the only ones who won’t deserve what’s coming but they’re going to get a giant helping of shit sandwich anyway. Oh well, if parents won’t teach ’em, the state happily will!
Doug Casey said that he left this country because he didn’t like being ruled by stupid people. Idiots who want to be “kept safe” will invariably vote for demagogues and scoundrels.
Is anyone surprised that the UFSA is full of dumbasses?
It’s important to note that the survey focused on what people think about the US spying the country where the person taking the survey lives. Obviously, that will result in stronger objections by people in other nations, which creates a more stark contrast with the US sheeple responding to the survey. But 49% of Americans not finding it unacceptable is still shocking. We have much work to do people. Don’t just read stories like this and get disgusted. Get active, politically. Start talking to people you know if you are not doing this actively already. Taking this country back is going to take hard work, but it can be done.

Pirate Jo and I.S. need to have kids and raise them to read TBP. Without an informed and pissed off new generation, who will make the changes necessary to shake the government fleas off our backs?
Most people have been trained by the institutions they’re involved with (State, church, school, media, family, etc) to have a subservient, slave mentality. The rich (my alter ego, IraK), trash (*R*O*D*N*E*Y*), and supposedly independent thinkers (No Shit Sherlock) are all the same. The bottom line is that they bitch and wiggle but they’re all followers.
Ask yourself… are you curious about everything, critical of what you’re told by the institutions, and always questioning authority?
Litmus test: What do you think about the “great presidents,” Keynsian economics, and the seminal events of our times (JFK’s assassination, DP’s fascination, and the Patriot Act.) What about the Kellogg-Briand Pact, the UN Charter, the Nuremberg Principles, and the Torture Convention?
Most people have been trained to approve of their government’s views on these matters. NSA spying is only another of the me-too policies all are learning to accept.
Administrator… Keep your sharp needle pricking at the State’s bubble. Yours is one of my favorite sites.

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
War is when the government tells you who the enemy is.
Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.
