A few points...

I have read a few thing over the past few days that need to be put into one location to make a point.

First, what Jason Bowden posted:

Rick Moran at Right Wing Nuthouse shares my sentiment exactly:

"I’m sick of it. I’m sick of the exaggerations about the “danger” that the country is becoming a dictatorship, a word they throw around with the practiced ease of someone who has no idea what an actual dictatorship looks like. I’m sick of the ginned up outrage against anything and everything the Administration has done in the past 5 years to protect us. I’m sick to death of these immature, emotionally unstable, intellectually dishonest philistines whose foot stomping tirades have begun to resemble the wailings of teenage girls who put on melodramatic, angst ridden histrionics over the tiniest of slights."

You have liberals coming out and calling Bush Hitler all the time, saying committingitting the worst human rights violations in the history of the United States. Maybe, if the Left would just say, "Umm, can we look into this wire taping thing, we think things might have been done incorrectly" people would listen to them.

And no, no one is listening to you, you have almost 70% of the American people against you on this.

Then, liberals will cry out that Bush is breaking the law, as if it is a clear and 100% fact...
Then why do we get stories like this...

"The Right Call on Phone Records" - The Washington Post
"FISA judges say Bush within law" - The Washington Times

So, I will admit it is not clear if the administration is going over the line...but I am like most Americans, I don't care as long as they are doing their best to keep the country safe and not worrying about terrorists and criminal rights. When liberals constantly cry wolf and make false claims, theyridiculousculous. Along with the fact that their boy did the same thing years ago...

" The report ("Development of Surveillance Technology and Risk of Abuse of Economic Information") also alleges that Echelon is capable of monitoring terrestrial Internet traffic through interception nodes placed on deep-sea communications cables." - The New York Times, 1999

"The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of conviction, holding that "there is no constitutionally protected reasonable expectation of privacy in the numbers dialed into a telephone system and hence no search within the fourth amendment is implicated by the use of a pen register installed at the central offices of the telephone company." - U.S. Supreme Court, Smith vs. Maryland, 1979

The point of this post is not to argue if Bush is breaking the law or not or is he correct to wiretap...it is to show that Dem's yell and scream and say ANYTHING that might gain them political points...the American people are not falling for it anymore, but they don't have anyone else to vote for in Nov....that is where the Right has to become the Right again...

Yesterday Bush said this:

"The intelligence activities I have authorized are lawful and have been briefed to appropriate members of Congress, both Republican and Democrat."

This morning that whimpering commie symp, Senate Judiciary Committee Arlen Specter (R-PA) disagreed with that assessment. On Face the Nation, Specter said that Bush and others in the administration "still haven’t complied with the act to inform the full intelligence committees as required by law."

"[T]here really has to be in our system of law and government, checks and balance, separation of powers, congressional oversight," Specter added, and "there has been no meaningful congressional oversight on these programs."

Okay, but does the whimpering commie Arlen Specter know, or is he saying this because he thinks there is political fallout?

Legit question, since I have read links saying all this is okay, then some saying it isn't....anyone who is being honest must admit that it is unclear right now, but in my opinion is fine

Jim said...

Of course it's unclear. That's why we have to ask. That's why we need congressional oversight. Arlen is Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and that should say something about his knowledge of the matter.

Even if you TRUST this administration (God knows why with their record) you MUST verify.

Here is a interesting article from a site that I respect very much. This person is very intelligent and his posts are well-written and well-reasoned. I ask that you take 5-10 minutes to read it.
