Can't wait to see how YObama-bama uses these wonderful 'protect' America powers.
Let freedom Ping.
Isn't there some kind of loony bin that Paul and his 911 twoofer supporters can be shipped off to?
UHHH....KUMBAYA RONNIE...WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE
BUB BY YAAAA
PART.....good god....
FISA is an unconsitutional restriction of the enmurated powers of the executive.
It’s a 70’s liberal construct.
What a clueless clown Ron Paul is on this issue.

At the end of 2006, the FBI's Telecommunications Intercept and Collection Technology Unit compiled an end-of-the-year report touting its accomplishments to management, a report that was recently unearthed via an open government request from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Strikingly, the report said that the FBI's software for recording telephone surveillance of suspected spies and terrorists intercepted 27,728,675 sessions. Twenty-seven million is a staggering number given that the FBI only got 2,176 FISA court orders in 2006 from a secret spy court using the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

FBI agents illegally videotaped suspects, intercepted e-mails without court permission and recorded the wrong phone conversations during sensitive terrorism and espionage investigations, according to an internal memorandum detailing serious lapses inside the FBI more than a year before the Sept. 11 attacks.
wake up.

Between the snake oil salesman, the loony tune Congressman and Old Mr.McSleazy, America really is in trouble!
What is truly scary are the number of people in this country that think as Ron Paul does.
The Republicans will be more than happy to call on the Constitution if the Democrats are elected and opt to send their private all volunteer army [it will be their army then] to fight in Africa, Russia, China, South America or wherever without declaring war.
This man is speaking out for us just like Ron Paul:

How dare they call this kook a Constitutionalist. He’s not.
Mr. Lincoln’s Secretary of War Mr. Stanton was correct when he observed that “..the Constitution of the United States is not nor shall it be a suicide pact.”
Just wait until Hillary has these powers.
Come to think about it, if there is a problem with the Second Amendment preventing the government from prohibiting people from possessing fully assembled guns, we probably need to repeal that also.
And by the way, one of the essential purposes of the First Amendment was to permit citizens to expose and describe in print, the malfunctions of elected public officials--Supreme Court has held Congress has the power to eliminate that right also (McCain Feingold)--First Amendment is really excessive at this point, as long as we are cleaning up the Constitution, probably ought to get rid of that also.
Habeas Corpus you say? I don't fully understand why it is that the courts have approved getting rid of that for citizens but if the courts say it is ok and the federal government wants to do it, might as well get rid of that also.
Since 1935, and Jones & Laughlin Steel, we have gotten rid of the limitation on the power of Congress to do whatever it wants, so why do we need all this language in the Constitution limiting the power of Congress to act at all--lets get rid of that also.
I could go on. Maybe what we need is a Constitutional Convention.

What’s that stench? Is it boiled frog?
What happens when these slowly creeping powers of the Federal government start to encroach on US? By a Democratic President?
Then, the wailing and gnashing of teeth shall begin.
Since it’s “our guy”, it’s okay!
The scary thing is that unlike a war against a well defined nation state, this War has the stench of the War of Drugs or the War on Poverty on it.
When will these powers ever expire? There is always the ‘threat’ of terrorism. There’s probably millions of Islamist Extremists all over the globe. The threat probably won’t end in our lifetime.
This should make conservatives very nervous. Especially with a new administration only months away.
Can you prove that there are absolutely no abuses of the monitoring system?
Or do you assume that since it is the Government, and a Republican administration, that all is good?
If these are known identities on the other end of these phone calls, what is the problem with getting a warrant?
“Nobody is spying on American citizens.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
How is the weather in LaLa land? If you believe that statement you are a lot more of an idiot than Mr. Paul!
Do you want Hillary or Obama to have these “patriot” act powers?
What? Do you think only non-citizens were on the receiving end of these calls into the United States?
