Why isn’t Big Brother watching me?

LETTER TO EDITOR

It has been revealed that the Department of Homeland Security has for 18 months been monitoring blogs, public forums and social networks on line through its “Social Networking/Media Capability” Program . I checked the five page list and I was not listed. Early in the Obama administration he asked citizens to report ‘fishy people’ who did not support him. I, along with million of other Americans, self reported myself to the government. In embarrassment they shut it down. Now they are back with the new program. So I wish to say I am still giving my shoutouts to liberty-loving American, up in arms to replace President Obama with a better friend of America in the White House. There. I’ve said it. Yet somehow I’ve escaped since last November having not appeared on their five page list of suspects. Are my fellow Americans aware of this invasion of privacy and free speech? No Jihad sites are on the list but several anti-jihad are. Do I smell ‘political correctness’? I wanted to be listed proudly with the anti-jihad and patriotic American who oppose the Obama administration road to socialism.

My advice, therefore to concerned citizens is ‘throw caution to the wind,’ by expressing your opinions wherever needed because as far as I know, it’s still a free country.
