      ^^^This guy truly deserves to get beaten in the face with a cricket bat. Besides what comes out of his retarded mouth, just looking at him makes me want to commit violent, painful assault.

      Get him, boys... he's one of them.

          He looks like he is from Alabama or somewhere else that's similarly behind the times.

              So I assume that this guy still uses a paper filing system, a full filing cabinet, communicates ONLY via letter or telephone, has never bought anything online, and still drives a covered wagon...

                He's a congresscritter, what else do you expect? Seems like a lot of them think a horse'n'buggy is a good transportation method.

                    This goes into the corrupt vs. incompetent conversation.

                      The answer to that would be: Yes.

                            It's always shocking how little it takes to get American politicians in your pocket.

                                The digital world is actually quite a bit more secure than the one that it replaced. In most cases.

                                  I don't think they care about "security", as much as they care about "making it harder to figure out the terrible stuff we're doing."

                                    In Sensenbrenner's head this makes sense because he doesnt need to use the internet. At all. He tells his servants to gather all information he needs, print it out, order his food, buy shit for his family, post garbage on twitter or facebook, read his emails.

                                        This is to the likeness of saying that "we don't need air because nobody breathes".

                                            Problem is, only people in his local, backwards district get to vote on him and they probably like what he is saying.
