He’s stuck in 2002.
Start profiling and take out the muslim islam filth and stop manufacturing McVeigh types and we’ll talk...until then STFU.
These laws that threaten our Constitutional rights; that are based upon 9-11 and terrorism and the need for the forever war on terror and citizen surveillance; such as the Patriot Act and all of its subsequent amendments; should automatically sunset/expire and become null and void within 2 years, unless they are re-upped for 2 more years by 60% of Congress.
They need to die unless overwhelmingly approved politically be a Congress that needs to face reelection.
There are 7,000,000,000 people on this planet and our government has reason to spy on 6,700,000,000 of them. Why then is Obama spying on the 300,000,000 of us and not them?
.......love Cheney generally speaking but, NO, Dick you are wrong! Give me a choice of running the risk of getting nuked or “the government” having all this information about 300 million Americans I think I would prefer risking becoming charcoal instantaneously. I don’t think “a nuke” is the issue either. I think the issue is people like Jarrett, Axelrod, Pelosi, Obama, Reid and Biden using NSA data to BLACKMAIL a supreme court member (like Roberts) or key congressmen/women. That’s the issue, to me.
I’m to the point given recent history, added to long term history, where I don’t believe ANYTHING the government says about ANYTHING EVER! About the only person I believe in the U.S. Government is Ted Cruz and I worry about him gradually being bought off.
Last year if you said Cheney was a jerk because of the Patriot Act you would of been called a troll, a DUmmy, or whatever else.
Now if you call Cheney a jerk because of the Patriot Act your a patriot.
LOL
Like many Freepers I liked Cheney’s unapologetic style, and Rumsfeld’s and Bush’s. Let’s be clear here though. Bad-ass in-your-face attitude when everyone else is turning tail and running is refreshing, but it is NOT CONSERVATISM. Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld and the rest of them are somewhere between Moderate Republicans and neocons. I can tolerate them for a time especially when they are playing a useful role in the midst of international conflict, but let’s cut the hero worship crap. Now that the discussion is about an out-of-control Marxist attempting to create an all-powerful, all-knowing State versus privacy and civil liberties, it’s time for those guys to shut up. Until this country is back to normal and the derailed Bill of Rights is put back on its tracks, I want to hear from Rand Paul and others like him.
If Dick Cheney were right more resources would have been dedicated to the Boston Bombers... and the FBI wouldn’t have had to release pictures of two men that were easy to find and already on their radar.
The surveillance is fine so long as overseen by people of honor. Problem is we have ZERO trust for our current “leaders”.
Uh...Dick....I love ya, BUT....if you were so concerned about somebody smuggling a nookleer device into the USA, how come you and George didn't bother to secure our borders to prevent such a possibility. Hmmm?
Bull cheet... no one buys this crap Mr. Cheney...
Your administration stood by and even aided and abetted the illegal invasion of tens of millions of illegals...During war time yet!
If they can bring in truck loads of illegal alien cargo on a routine basis, from corrupt countries like Mexico, how hard would it be to smuggle in weapons of mass destruction?
Bush and Cheney imported MORE Muslims into the U.S. AFTER 911 than the previous two decades...
Cheney, Bush, Obama are all riding in the same limo... Now he’s telling us they have to spy on and monitor law abiding citizens to fight terrorist?
What utter bull sheeet.
Can’t forgive Dick Cheney for 2 reasons:
1. He encouraged the invasion of Iraq. Now we have a satellite state of Iran (and thousands of wounded warriors). Great move, Dick.
2. He believed that the power of the presidency was undercut by the Watergate scandal (when in fact it had grown far more powerful than the Framers wanted it to be) and dedicated himself to restoring the bloated caesarism that is now the presidency. Having a Congress that winks at undeclared (and thus illegal wars) doesn’t help much.
I doubt Cheney has a clue...or cares... what Obama has done to government surveillance of conservatives.
