The Problem(s) With TBogg And David Simon

First, TBogg puts his kneepads on and goes balls deep for Obama's police state bullshit, but the fun part happens when a hated commenter goes seven (7) years in the past and skullfucks TBogg with his own words by posting a link to Mr. Bogg's old post.  Well, that didn't go over too well with the scumsucking TBogg fanboy fluffers.  Still, good shit and a nasty takedown of Tebow TBogg.  Surely, Mr. T Bogg should be ashamed.  But he ain't.

Then, the not so fun.  The problem with David Simon and his (and TBogg's) position on this bulllshit is that Simon is the most established of the establishment guys.  He was a crime reporter.  He states that he supports the police and courts and justice system on principle; he believes that the police and the courts are doing what they do to protect average Americans.  He claims that the data mining is only a way to begin an investigation.  (He also conflates the retarded mad bombers in Boston with international terrorism and the 9/11 WTC attack, which is Fox "News"-level fucktardery in its own right.)  Simon's nonsense sounds terribly naive, but of course, it is not.  It is a fundamental, and consciously rock-ribbed support of the operations of a police state.  Simon even says in his comments that if a few more judges had a different opinion, all this shit would not be happening, but since they don't--all of them reliably loyal to the State before they (those judges) were appointed, to be sure--it is what it is, and we Americans will have to live with it.  And that's not so bad, Simon says.  Simon is, as TBogg sez in his FDL post, being nuanced as best he can, BUT, David Simon is still a believer in the system in his heart of hearts.  That's the real problem, and it's not that Simon is being a crazed wingnut statist asshole.  No, Simon's a believer--and so is TBogg, apparently--and that's worse.  A police state is very, very peaceful--and very, very safe for a certain (small) segment of the population.  Being a top guy, Simon would be one of those privileged and safe people--and TBogg being a loyal fluffer will be there to cheerlead and put up with whatever indignity his sort of people have to endure to preserve his ideas about people like Simon and Obama.  Simon was responsible for The Wire, which is a fine, fine thing, but he also started Homicide: Life on the Streets which was easily one of the finest tee vee shows ever.  For that, he gets a certain amount of cred for managing to obliterate not only the tee vee cop show but also cop movies, and on NB fucking C, no less.
