Using "Cash for Clunkers" To Confiscate Computers.

Glenn Beck exposes the dirtiness of your government at work. When accessing the government website for the Cash For Clunkers, the following message pops up, in a fashion similar to a privacy statement:

‘This application provides to the DoT CARS system. When logged on to the CARS system, your computer is considered a federal computer system and it is property of the United States government,'" Beck read. "‘Any and all uses of this system and all files on this system may be intercepted, monitored, recorded, copied, audited, inspected, and disclosed to authorized CARS, DoT and law enforcement personnel, as well as authorized officials of other agencies, both domestic and foreign.'"
[emphasis added]

Also,
Kimberly Guilfoyle, a legal analyst for Fox News interpreted the language to mean the government has very broad authority over your computer - including the ability to seize personal and private information.

"Could it be any more broad or frightening?" Guilfoyle said. "Here you are trying to be a good citizen and make a charitable contribution, do something that's good and guess what - they are jumping right inside you, seizing all of your personal and private information and it's absolutely legal Glenn."

Guilfoyle also said legally the government can use Web software to track your computer any time they want once you've logged into the site.

"They can continue to track you basically forever," Guilfoyle said. "Once they've tapped into your system, and the government of course has like malware systems and tracking cookies - they can tap in any time they want."
[emphasis added]

Because the only ethic for the Alinski Left is "success, regardless", we can expect that EVERY program, decree, and 1000 page bill will contain language that allows the government to confiscate property and nullify rights. And like this case they will be camouflaged as privacy statements or other benignities. How much more not-privacy could this confiscation be than to seize your computer files and give them to foreign officials?

Nothing is exempt from an ethic-free culture and its government.
