FoxNewsInsider: Radio talk show host Mark Levin got more than a little worked up on Thursday's Your World, telling host Neil Cavuto that in light of revelations about the NSA tracking Verizon subscribers' phone records, "...we have the elements of a police state here, and I'm not overstating it."Levin segment starts @ 4:42:
"That's not how national security works ... I don't care what the Supreme Court said 30 years ago or what some judge said 15 minutes ago," he shouted. "This is America, and our government is collecting way too damn much data on we the private citizens!"
President Obama's claims of ignorance in the recent slew of scandals also raised the ire of Levin, who said of the commander in chief, "'He doesn't know what's going on?' Well, he knows what's going on right now, for God's sake! What's he gonna do about it, anything?"
He then elaborated on this revelation in the opening monologue of Thursday evening's program:
Mark discusses how the government is continuing it's growing surveillance over the average American - be it the drone program, or citizen wiretaps thru major communication companies, or Obamacare health records demands. It's time our Congress got serious and not just hold hearings but really make an effort to reverse the course the government. Mark says we're essentially turning into a police state when you look at the facts of what's happening. All these measures aren't about protecting us from a national security threat - if that was true, they would secure the border but they won't.
I know I mentioned it earlier, but it's worth repeating: Today not only marks the 69th anniversary of D-Day, but a little dystopian novel steeped in Big Brother surveillance and rule by the totalitarian state, simply entitled '1984', was published 64 years ago to the day.
