The government knows what kind of toilet paper you buy

Think those supermarket loyalty cards are a great deal? I'll bet you didn't know that Uncle Sam is snooping on your shopping habits.

CDC uses shopper-card data to trace salmonella.

The CDC data-mined supermarkets' consumer purchase data, then traced a recent salmonella outbreak to tainted salami made by a Rhode Island company.

Remember when the privacy nuts went bananas because the feds wanted to use a secret warrant to look at library card information? They're pouring over your grocery lists and nobody is batting an eye?

So when Obamacare kicks in and Barry's wife says that we gotta stop eating so many donuts will the CDC mine the data again so she can chastise anyone with a sweet tooth? Will that carton of cigarettes you bought at CostCo mean no more lung cancer drugs in your future?

Think that's fascist? Get a load of this. Comrade Obama wants your DNA.

Again, where is the outrage from the anti-Patriot Act agitators? Their silence is deafening, isn't it? The Obamessiah wants our DNA and that's OK because he's their Great Progressive Dear Leader and he'll only use it make those magic unicorns just that much more fantastic?

Whatever happened to the Fourth Amendment? The one that Barry's Justice Department lawyers spent so much time working to ensure is applicable to Islamic terrorists? Once again our enemies get more rights than you or me. Forcing terrorists to listen to loud music in a brightly lit room is verbotten, but analyzing a DNA sample on a piece of toilet paper and tracing it back to the supermarket where it was purchased is just another day in the office for the Obama Administration.

Warrants? "We don't have to show you any steenkin warrants!" Unless of course we're investigating murderous terrorists.
