The US doesn't really CARE about freedom, or democracy, or any of those talking points the republicans keep bringing up. The ONLY thing that matters to the government is the almighty corporate dollar. So WHAT if china is using US technologies to oppress their own citizens, as long as we get paid, all is good. We even outsource all our jobs over there, but the fat cat executives and corrupt wall street pigs still get their new ferarri's and beach houses. Capitalism without concerns for the consequences, that's what REAL american patriots support.

Why is it that people get so up in arms about Chines spying on their own people?

But yet, when the US does it it's in the name of "terrorism" and OK.

The government is an extension of our corporations it seems. They are partners in US, Inc. Most of the people of the US do care about freedom and democracy. Those talking points coming from both republicans and democrats are shallow and worthless. It's the actions from both parties that indicate to me that neither represent most of us in a meaningful, honest way.

Capitalism is still the best option, when it is not being abused and left thoroughly unfettered. It is the power-crazed few that have little or no scrupulous qualities that are destroying many of the monumental efforts and sacrifices that helped to establish this great nation. This notion that we must always expand and grow our businesses no matter the consequences is just ridiculous and it needs to be regulated as was originally intended when this country was born.

Clearly our politicians are not doing their jobs and have abandoned their civic duties and responsibilities. And this has nothing to do with an elephant or a donkey pinned to a person's lapel. And it is not something that is strictly a phenomenon of the policies of the US. It is a global issue, as can be confirmed by this Skype story.

The problem, quite simply, is that the US Capitalist ENABLE the chinese communist to oppress their own people. We don't really care WHAT kind of government we sell our stuff to, we don't care how badly it screws middle america by outsourcing our jobs. The only thing that this administration cares about is making the rich, even richer.

Very true tho the right is prone to this due to their dependence on corporate money.
