"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Unless we want to become a bankrupt fascist socialist commie security state like the Soviets and East Germany, the time is now to have a real debate on how to end the perpetual war on terrorism, instead of allowing corrupt politicians in our government to take away more of our rights and our treasury so that a special few can profit.

Everyone should just take a breath. The data is out there. Anyone who wanted to copy it and had access to it has copied it already. That’s how electronic communications work. Bye bye, privacy. It was nice knowing you.

I’m sure some of the folks at NSA actually started out looking for terrorists. Then, they noticed that the widow Jones didn’t keep her window shades all pulled completely down...
