RINOs Pass Bill to Spy on Americans. Here’s Who They Are

In a move that’s bound to have traditionalists spitting out their morning coffee in disbelief, the House of Representatives has just delivered a gut punch to Americans who value their privacy and constitutional rights. In a scene that could only be described as “RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) on Parade,” a significant number of GOP members joined forces with Democrats in a vote that effectively keeps Uncle Sam’s eyes and ears wide open, snooping around without needing a warrant. The bill in question? It’s all about FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) spying powers.

Now, for those who haven’t been keeping tabs on the ins and outs of government surveillance, here’s the lowdown: FISA is supposed to allow U.S. agencies to monitor foreign targets abroad. Sounds reasonable, right? Except, it’s been a slippery slope, with past abuses showing that this power can easily be turned inward, spying on American citizens themselves. And not in a cool, James Bond kind of way, but in a creepy “Big Brother is watching you” manner.

The real kicker came when a commonsense amendment requiring a warrant to spy on Americans was thrown out faster than yesterday’s news. That’s right, the idea that the government should need probable cause and a judge’s signature to peek into your personal life was deemed too radical. Many Republicans, who one would think would stand up for individual liberties, instead voted for what can only be described as authoritarianism. Speaker Mike Johnson, bless his heart, cast the decisive vote. Talk about a plot twist nobody asked for.

So, what’s next? This legislation, now with a green light from the House, is off to the Senate, where it’s expected to pass with flying colors and then land on Joe Biden’s desk for a signature. This isn’t just a defeat; it’s a full-blown retreat from the principles of civil liberties and the Constitution.

Amidst this debacle, some patriots are so incensed they’re contemplating withholding taxes as a form of protest against the government’s apparent misuse of funds. A bold move, sure, but then there’s the small matter of property and license seizures. Not exactly a walk in the park.

States like Idaho and Utah, traditionally conservative bastions, are facing their own battles against leftist influences. The conversation is shifting toward nationalism and identitarianism as potential counters to the prevailing winds blowing through Washington D.C.

In essence, this vote wasn’t just about surveillance; it was a litmus test for who truly stands for American values. And sadly, it seems many have failed. As we look ahead, it’s clear that the fight for our liberties is far from over. It’s time for true conservatives to stand up, speak out, and bring back common sense to Capitol Hill.

In case you’re wondering which Republicans voted for spying on Americans, here they are organized into a convenient table:
