(11,495 posts)I have said from day one that "if" there is abuse in the NSA programs then something needs to be done. There should be an investigation, and congress should then "change" things since they are the ones who can do that, not the president.
As for the paranoia, your are right, it has gotten way out of hand. I have seen it in the past, but never to the extent it's at now. I think part of the reason it's gotten so bad are the trolls the have taken up residence here, and who only want to keep the board divided, and cause problems. The continually post crap with no facts, kick threads that push everything else of the front page, and sadly they have a lot of DU members who fall for their BS.
We can't even have a real debate because as one Greenwald Snowden groupie put it, if you don't admit "I" am right on this point there is no use to debate. So I guess if you aren't a Greenwald, Snowden groupie you are just plain WRONG, no matter what the facts say, or no matter that their idols really don't have any facts to back up what they are saying.
