That's a good reminder. I need to send another contribution to the relief society.

Thanks!

Plus unlike you and The Slimes, the public actually recognizes that we are in a deadly war with an implacable, genocidal, psychotic enemy, and that these are not normal times.

Listen you sorry piece of dirt, I'm perfectly aware of the fact that we are in a life and death battle with a horrible enemy. That's why I advocate destroying the enemy. You're the coward who's advocating that we surrender our freedoms to that enemy. I favor surveillance of the enemy. I oppose revealing the programs we have to inflict harm on the enemy. The difference between us is that I know our history well enough to know that our nation was founded on protecting individual freedoms and not creating invasive government programs no matter how good ones intentions are. You're just so intent on removing individual freedoms that you just can't imagine seeking solutions that involve hurting our enemies instead of restricting our freedoms.

I'm sorry to think that if someone saves this country from our enemies, they'll have to save you along with it. I'm ashamed that you call yourself an American. If it had been left up to people like you, we'd still be British subjects, and you'd be arguing for how reasonable the tea taxes are.

Let me know when you become something more than a sheeple.

I can't tell whether you are just too stupid to understand my points or whether you are just being dishonest when you try to claim that I support the NY Times publication of programs designed to spy on our enemies. Either way, your inability to make your arguments to what I've actually said is more evidence that your arguments are nonsense.

"Listen you sorry piece of dirt,"


Listen you pathetic piece of Islamofacist loving vermin, if I were you, I wouldn't even go down the insults line.
That is a fight you simply can't win.
On the other hand, why not? Bring it on fool. It's going to fun taking you down. :)

" I'm perfectly aware of the fact that we are in a life and death battle with a horrible enemy"

You are?
You could fooled me. You sound like someone who is sound asleep, as far as terrorism is concerned, to me.


"That's why I advocate destroying the enemy"

Exactly how do you propose we going to find out who is planning on blowing us up, before "destroying" them ?
If we can't monitor their phone calls, or their bank accounts, and if every tool that we can use to track them down is compromised?

[WFTR]

Man, it's getting difficult to disagree with you.

I don't think that we are that far apart. If destroying our enemies results in shortages and rationing for a while, I understand that those things are part of fighting a war. The important thing is that we force our enemies to cease their hostile intentions against us. I was touched a month or so ago when the Japanese prime minister toured Graceland with President Bush. Sixty-five years ago, we were mortal enemies with the Japanese. If we hadn't broken their fighting spirit to win the war, we might still be dangerous enemies today. The closeness between our leaders and countries today could not have happened if people had tried to deal with Japan by letting them continue to exist under the old system and reducing freedoms here in the United States. The current attitudes in the United States scare me because we seem willing to let the enemy remain alive to continue their war against us.

Hah Hah!
This country has had "freedoms" reduced in every single major war we have fought.
Freedom has never been absolute in this country.
Nothing is.
In the Civil War, plenty of "freedoms" were curtailed.
Same thing with WWII.
After 9/11 , we had the Patriot Act,which cut down on plenty of "freedoms" we had before.
Its part and parcel of fighting any nasty, war against psychotic, genocidal enemies.
If there's one weaselly coward on this thread, its gotta be you.

[LisaMalia]

Thanks for posting the previous threads.

The part that boggles my mind is, if they have only caught a handful of these potential terrorists, look at all the ones who have slipped through the cracks up to this point.

The ones from earlier in the week were buying them in droves in SE Ohio. If they wanted to "resell" innocently to make a few bucks, as the libs would like us to think, why were they shipping the bulk of them to Dearborn? Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out these were bought with the intent of detonating either hundreds of smaller explosives, or a few big ones.

There's something dangerously wrong with this situation, and I'm glad these people are getting nailed. Hope it's not too late.

"I'm sorry to think that if someone saves this country from our enemies, they'll have to save you along with it."

I am sorry you even breath the oxygen in this country at all.
Vermin like you are an utter waste of space and resources.
But I am sure ya momma told ya that already. :)

It is times like these when I hope somebody over in the CIA or the NSA decides to live up to their perceived reputations heaped upon them by the likes of Tom Clancy and Liberal Hollywood.

What a fine time to bust out with a "Random Dialer" mission where all these pre-paid phones get autodialed at random times throughout the day with "Hi, this is a political call from {somebody running for office you want to be the fall guy for this stunt}, and..." so maybe we end up hearing a few cases of "Huge explosion in the residential neighborhood of {pick your favorite Islamic terrorist enclave on our shores}"

[pettifogger]

This is not what the concern is about. It is about the fact that they can call and make plans to conduct terrorists acts without being traced.

Think we can perhaps thank the MSM for reporting on the details of our telephone surveillance efforts? Yes, we can.

B*stards.

This country has had "freedoms" reduced in every single major war we have fought.

So true.

My mom tells the story about when her mother passed, during WWII, and both of her brothers were in the military. Mom was only 18 and had lost her dad the year before, so her brothers were all she had.

One was in the states, and was able to make it home for the funeral, but the other was overseas, and for security reasons, could not be reached for several days.

To this day, when my 82 year old mom speaks of this, she says that she understood, and still does, as those are the sacrifices we must make for our country's freedoms and security.

So one can understand when I read a news article about someone in our pampered, spoiled society gets their panties in a bunch when they have to toss out their hairgel during security checks at an airport. Do these people not get it? Nevermind, I already know the answer.

[fso301]

Color me ignorant. What do cell phones have in them as components, which when combined together, assist in creating an explosive?

Cell phones are far more sophisticated than most people can imagine.

In a simple scenario, an incoming call causes the phone to ring. However, the ringer wires were connected by the terrorist to the detonator of a bomb.

[fso301]

If the throw away phones are untraceable, how could Homeland Security shut any of them off??

Only the users identity is unknown. The phone itself is traceable.

Trac phones and terrorists

Posted by dgleadclerk at 2006-03-26 16:59 Has anyone heard about the people who come in and buy all the trac phones? They supposodly have terrorist ties and are using them for bombs.

Posted by overit4good Sun, 2006-03-26 22:20 I dont know about terrorist but it is funny that you bring that up. Not to long ago I had some one of India or Iraq origin come to my store and wanted 40 track phones and I sold him what we had left which was a case of 12 a box of 3 and the four that were hanging on the rack. And he pulled out a very large sum of money and paid for them in cash at $20 a piece. HMMMMM does sound strange. I wondered at the time what he wanted all those phones for but I not once thought of that. Scary idea...... ___________________________________________________________

Posted by DGSUCKS Sat, 2006-05-06 11:37 A gentlemen came to mu store about 2 weeks ago and bought 29 trac phones from us and he also cleaned out the 6 DG stores within 45 miles of my store and a FD store as well.

When I helped him to his care it appeared to me that he has an additional 200 or so phones already in his truck and he said it was an after school project.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Re post 48, I agree.

[Lion Den Dan]

"We more or less do all that with normal cell phones already before we are given a service. And no one even thinks twice about it."

What about the poor homeless?

[WFTR]

Thanks!

[RFEngineer]

"The only problem I have is that we may create a law where you can only purchase one cell phone per month. Sounds familiar?"

I agree with you....It's as if the problem is really the cell phone and not the guy attaching it to an IED, assuming that is what is actually being done.

If there is a problem, it's not that "untraceable" cellphones are for sale.
