    "Im still watching ALL of you from the Oval Office"...your friend Bush

    Dear below,
    Sir, I am proud to call myself a Liberal and I take the word literally, Check the dictionary if you are unfamiliar with language. I'll address you issue by issue. Are liberals poking into peoples lives when they want abortion. Perhaps you know reckless men who have sex at every oppurtunity. I know I am. Well, what about women? Shouldn't they be able to make the same mistakes as men? Sir! In any nation, people are falsly accused of crimes from murder to dissent. Thank god for bulldog lawyers who fight tooth and nail for justice no matter whaqt a fearful, hypnotised public thinks. Crying to mommy? I am a card carrying liberal and cut myself with a chainsaw and cried to neither mommy or daddy. Perhaps your grief is not with Liberals but with small minded people of both parties. Think before you speak.

      Mudd Im assuming you are directing your comments toward me?..First off a bulldog lawyer that accepts a case regarding prayers in school, or christmas colors of red and green being banned from cookies during the holiday hardly counts as justice..Telling me I cant fly a flag on my own property and a lawyer taking a case to try to ban anyone from doing so is called bullying, not bulldogging....They are only fighting to put money in their pockets because ambulance chasing isnt paying the bills..In reality it isnt just the lawyers fault, its the poor bullied boohoo babies out there that have nothing better to do but cause problems for the average American who is trying to make a living...Figuring, as I pointed out earlier, how to make up a lawsuit to get some cash. "Im injured from looking at the halloween decor in my neighbors yard, I need compensation for my mental distress, and demand they take it down. Its sends the wrong message to MY child"..Stay proud to be a Lib...America needs something to laugh at...Maybe you can sue the internet provider for allowing you to view what I just typed.."It offended me to see someone ELSE typing negative comments about Libs, heres my card Mr. Lawyer, it proves Im a Lib." Im SURE you will find one to represent you for the sake of justice, and a little cash ofcourse..:)

    I know you insecure boobs in the government are watching and reading everything on the the net and the phones, sounds vaguely like Stallin, and Mussollini since 911 we are becoming more like the USSR if you are old enough to remember then you know what I am talking about call it liberal or what ever the facts remain the same we are loosing our individual freedoms dailey , My opinion Iraq was created just for that purpose to gain more control over the population and use terroisom as the mask behind the truth what has Bush done since being in office nothing substantial the war has been the reason so as to hide his incompetance , and gain control over the masses,stop and thik about it. This country has always been a easy mark with our relaxed borders and trust it finally bit us in the ass and we will be paying the price from here on, I live 80 miles from mexico and we have illegals crossing the ranch periodically so do not tell me the over priced fence is going to work and how secure Homeland Security is making us all if you believe that youk are seriously mis informed WAKE UP America Revelution is in the air someday we will get fed up with this misuse of power and do something about it I"m Mad how bout you. Hi SAM

    Dear below,
    I know some "retarded" children and I would let them head the NSA before you. I am proud to be a liberal and I take the word literally. Please allow me to confront your rhetoric. First of all, some times in this country, the people wrongly accuse are innocent. Thank god for bulldog defense attorneys who fight for the rights of those who are meek. I'm a lib and I've cut myself with a chainsaw and not cried to my mommy or daddy. Libs are fighting to end dim-witted dug policy that are not only racist but wrong and propagate a drug war across south america and south east asia. Perhaps liberal antiwar sentiment seems like an attack on the troops. But I served four long years in the Army. Does my opinion matter? I'm ready to end this. I wish we were sweden or luxembourg and could sit back and shack a finger at countries that are fighting to clean up the mess of the Cold War. Instead, we are a victim of of our own military industrial complex that was built to defeat the Soviets. The future will require both muscle and might. Apparently you only possess aggressive muscle. Please don't vote so you won't cancel out the vote of someone who thinks.

    I have a question how are we to keep the USA protected if things like this can't happen. As long as they have guidelines to what they can and can't do privacy is a privilage not a right if they can stop terriost attacks like 9/11 before they happen. More power to them.

    • Posted By: observer101 @ 07/18/2008 9:02:47 PM

      The misinformed liberal boobs who want to control every aspect of everyone else lives are the ones who are worried about this. THEY know THEY will be caught doing one thing or another and not be able to snow ppl with their rhetoric...Between them and criminal lawyers there will always be some type of disagreement over this. Thats what liberals and criminal lawyers do, start discontent and investigations into the most useless of things...9/11 hearings? Come on! Steroid scandal? Gimme a break, nothing better to argue about, like the economy that is supposedly in ruins? The Dem lawyers that got fired?..Um I dont remember that being a scandal when Billy the adultering liar got rid of some.( which by the way all president admins do )...Yup this is one more thing we can rely on libs to cry about until they get there way..Libs are the ones who when younger cried to there mommies because they didnt get christmas gifts at the school party...So when they grew up they got the word Christmas taken out of schools out of spite and no other real reason, no more Halloween parties for the kids, cant play tag cause their children wont get picked first...So they take it out citing possible injuries...If your child competes in anything they have to get a trophy for losing or else the mommies will sue for their child being left out.Trophies for not being able to compete with more deserving hard working kids! What they hell?..Flags, Crosses or Christmas ornaments in your front yard? Dont let them catch it...Itll burn their eyes, and they will sue you for forcing them to look at it and damaging the frontal lobes of their puny brain...Praying in school or at a restaurant?...Not on their watch!..You will first get the stink eye then possibly served with a summons to court to explain why you physically caused them to vomit their bean curry, and caused them to go deaf upon forcing them to listen to your dinner prayer. ....Pledge of Allegiance? How dare we make our kids stand up and say it in respect of those who lost there lives for it! They should just expect there freedoms...Just likes liberals expect a free ride at the expense of hard working conservative Americans....Those are examples of a lib in case anyone is wondering.

    "...you must be doing something that you are afraid of being caught at" (sic). Precisely what the Nazi's said as they searched private residences in Germany. Fascism here we come!!!

      The far left is pretty good at it too. I think it's time for a Constitutionally central 3rd party.

    uncle sam can suck my 12 inch ***

    If you have done nothing illegal and you are not a terrorist then you have nothing to worry about, so I guess all of you who are so worried about this must be doing something that you are afraid of being caught at.

    • Posted By: dtbham @ 07/18/2008 1:49:20 PM

      Define Terrorist. Where will it extend to? If you speak out are you a terrorist? Don't be so ignorant. So if we are all sheep we have nothing to worry about?

    • Posted By: rjkardo @ 07/16/2008 3:13:44 PM

      in that case, we should put a live, streaming video camera in your bedroom. If you are not doing anything illegal, you should not mind your activity being broadcast live...

  • Posted By: dtbham @ 07/18/2008 1:41:10 PM

    I can't believe this! Are we so blind that we don't see what is going on. This is unconstitutional and we are one step away from the Gestapo. Just because one group of George Bush's business partners got through and attacked the U.S. we no find it justifiable to spy on each other. Listen to what we say or we will jail you, you no longer have any rights.

    OBAMA's stance in Iraq is correct.THE IRAQI's must take control of their own security and U.S. troops must begin comming home by 2010. The nucleus of Al Queda is in AFGANISTAN AND PAKISTAN. IF they are defeated then there is no more AL Queda in IRAQ. Obama's assessment of refocusing the war on terror to AFGANISTAN AND PAKISTAN was most impressive.

    What shocked me was his stance on the wiretapping bill. This is a clear violation of our privacy rights as AMERICANS. Unfortunately, this is just the tip of the iceberg. In 2010 REAL ID's will become law. Eventually the government will have all our personal information on a chip. I WAS VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED IN OBAMA's vote on this issue.

    OUR CONSITITUTION IS ALL WE HAVE TO PROTECT OURSELVES AGAINST GOVERNMENTS WHO OVER REACH THEIR POWERS. WHAT MAKES OUR COUNTRY GREAT IS THE CHECKS AND BALANCES THAT ARE IN PLACE.

    THE RATIONAL behind voting in favor of this bill cannot really be justified. I guess OBAMA is trying to show he can work with Republicans and is willing to comprimise. Inotherwords he voted for this controversial bill and will be able to use his vote as leverage for a bill he really wants passed in the future.

    OBAMA has a fifty state strategy and has a good chance of winning four states which are traditionally republican strongholds, in the fall. He can make the case that he can work with Republicans and Democrats to get things done. IT is inevitable that one day these wire tap laws will be abused at the expense of our privacy. What is the big deal in getting a warrant. THIS IS WHAT PROTECTs US AMERICANS AGAINST POTENTIAL GOVERNMENT INTRUSION.

    I DO NOT THINK AMERICANS REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS USING TERRORISM AS AN EXECUSE TO INVADE OUR PRIVACY. WE ALREADY HAVE PRIVACY ISSUES WITH CREDIT CARD COMPANIES AND CORPORATIONS WHO TRADE OUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AMONGST THEMSELVES TO INCREASE THEIR PROFITS.


    THERE has not been one attack on AMERICAN SOIL SINCE 9/11. DURING THIS TIME WE DID NOT HAVE A WIRETAPPING BILL. SOMEHOW A CITIZEN GROUPS NEED TO ORGANIZE OURSELVES AND START FIGHTING TO GET OUR PRIVACY RIGHTS BACK.

    If you don't have anything to hide-why worry?
    We need to keep close tabs on the spies that they stick to the AlQaeda types.

  • Posted By: sjbrock80 @ 07/17/2008 6:28:58 PM

    Republicans and Democrats are basically the same - greedy, slimy, and self-serving. This isn't an issue of which party is better. They all like the spying.

    Hold all elected officials responsible,All Americans need to pay attention to all elected officials.They work for the public and it is time they answer to us.We need to know everything they do we need to gather as much information about them as they gather about us.Make all of their time accountable.Lets put a magnifying glass on their ass and see how they like it.

    • Posted By: sjbrock80 @ 07/17/2008 6:24:07 PM

      I'm not sure I really want to see their magnified asses.

    The fact that a citizen wants government to refrain from listening to conversations intended to be private and to refrain from reading messages intended to be private, does not mean that such a citizen is hoping to hide anything improper. Suppose you are communicating with a relative or friend abroad or here in the United States about a personal matter, such as your own health problem, or your fear that a third party (a mutual friend of yours & of the person you're communicating with) may be suffering from alcoholism. Do you want some stranger employed by government to covertly read, or eavesdrop on, your private communication?

    Thanks Dubya, you've done so much for this country. And yes, we should be watched and monitored, if Dubya feels it is necessary. We should all demand that Dubya stay President for as long as he wants, because he has brought this country back from ruin. Remember the horrible mess created by Clinton in the '90s? The economy was horrible, energy prices were out of control, and a huge national debt was created. Thank God Dubya fixed all of those problems, and now he has made us all safe by wire tapping our phones. We love you Dubya, don't let anyone missunderestimate you and don't forget, you're a more better President.

    "Now I know everything about everyone of you!..MMMWWWAAAAAHHHHAAAHAAA!" President Bush laughs as he sits in the Oval office, looking at his computer and reviews ALL our lives. Then he adjusts the sound on his ear piece to listen to ALL of us on our cell phones, land based phones, ham radio, c.b. radios. He knows it ALL!...As soon as he finishes laughing at the arguement you had with your spouse he gets up and walks to the door to leave after his 8 hour shift..He notices the droplet stains still on the Presidential rug and demands that housekeeping keeps trying to clean it out of the rug..."Its been there since I took office from Clinton!" he says under his breathe on the way out.... Yeah right!...Some of you believe a little bit to much of X-Files..It is unfathomable that they could have the time to look into all our lives Even listen to all of us...Computers would only be listening for key words and red flag them them...Only then would they even bother...Looking at you. Try getting online and looking up bomb making, anything having to do with extremist info..And do this constantly..Then you will start getting inquiries into your info, and maybe even some visitors you DONT want to see.

      Dubya knows how to use a computer? Maybe sometime in the future Dubya will learn how to read and speak proper English. Keep up the good work, your doing "more better" and don't let anyone "missunderestimate" you.

    Remember Big Brother Watching You.
    No Freedom.
    Read Your Bible. Be Saved before the government say No.

    All this stuff about wiretapping is scary enough; but what about the more 'High Tech' approaches that the Gov has at it's disposal?
    Ever hear of - or been the victim of - 'Line Abuse'?
    It's an N.S.A. (I Think) operated, Implanted Nano-Tech based Civil Libertarian Nightmare!!!
    And NO, I don't need a tinfoil hat; and anybody with a Radio Frequency Detector sensitive to Military 'D' Band Emisions, could easily prove me right.
    maybe the comment I'm looking at about 'InfraGuard' is about the same thing; I'm gonna' Google it NOW.

  • Posted By: keilbes @ 07/15/2008 8:03:43 PM

    Have you heard yet of the long arm of the FBI called InfraGard? Just google it, and you will see that most states have this organization up and running. It's members are everyone from politicians, bank presidents, janitors, sales people, etc. They are supposed to be on the "alert" and report suspicious activity to their local FBI agent. They can also be armed, and can "shoot to kill". If you don't believe me, just enter InfraGard in your search engine, and see what comes up! Talk about what went on in Germany, when people were forced to spy on their neighbors, relatives and friends! This country, regardless of who is or will be running it, is going down the tubes fast! Re-read Orwell's 1984. He was prescient! Too bad we can't look into the future and see what the good ole USA will be like in 10 years or so. Although, I don't know if I really want to know.
