Someone started a thread saying that criticism of the TSA is about union busting. Now would that be right winger saying that or someone from your side? The TSA comes up in the gun control debate, you should love them.

I'm pretty sure that it's a "right-wing" position to oppose the TSA, if you can only think in those terms. Really, it should be a matter of common sense and citizenship, to oppose someone delaying the shit out of transportation, and x-raying your genitals for no actual benefit.

For most of the Bush admin, the neocons defended that pile of elephant shit.

They created it. Along with the NSA.

This constantly making everything about righties, and lefties, as if it is a game gets old, and it only really serves to deflect efforts to solve our problems. It really serves the wealthy, the big financial interests, and the political leadership in both parties.

If we can not agree about the TSA, nevermind the Border Patrol, DEA, and the ATF, because we are too busy making points off the other side, we're just screwed.
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

The answer to your problem is embedded in your post. You try to conflate legitimate concerns about the TSA with your open borders hoo hoo. No, we don't need to shut down border patrol. We need to build a wall and to ramp up spending on border patrol and ICE.

TSA and Border Patrol are not equivalent in any rational universe. Go back to burning trashcans and chanting your kindergarten slogans on the street.

Whatever party created a particular abomination, both parties are happy to use it once they get into power. Stop being tricked. It is not about one's inclination towards conservative, or liberal, thinking. It is about the acquisition of wealth, and the power, and status, that it gives, and the use of whatever ideological BS that allows them to sleep at night.

I keep hearing how they are so different from each other. one party is like chocolate, and the other is tutti frutti, but really they're both variations of the same poison, like plain vanilla, and french vanilla. With bonus arsenic in both. Or the neoliberals, and the neoconservatives. Same evil, just slightly different flavors.

The NSA has always done this. They were spying on Americans all the way back to when they were first created. Nor are they really weaponized on behalf of any particular party. They quickly became a force and entity to themselves.

These guys are not the friends of either party. I don't see how you can witness what has happened in recent weeks and somehow still believe that.

Well you're a self proclaimed socialist and I identify more with the Alt-Right than anything else. What does that tell you?
