Didn't we fight a Revolution to get out from under the rule of Europeans?

Perhaps the Dec. 16 headline in the New York Times should have read “Bush Beating Terrorism with Congressional Approval of Eavesdropping” instead of “Bush Lets U.S. Spy on Callers without Courts.”

No, but I love it.

Michael Bowers' excellent article should be forwarded to every newspaper office, TV station and radio station in America.

Maybe then, if the snob media reads it, they will understand what every clear thinking U.S. citizen already knows.

Did you hear W's comment to a reporter just now: if Al'Quada is calling you we want to know about it

I would also like to know where the Al'Quada location is and forward it to one our predator drones.

Michael Bowers' excellent article should be forwarded to every newspaper office, TV station and radio station in America.

Including some Members of Congress, RINOs and DEMs!

Yesterday some ditsy gals' letter was printed in a Tacoma newspaper asking if Bush supporters would support wire tapping if Hildebeast was president. I guess she thinks the protection of Americans would be different if a dim was our president.

In Gloucester, according to the London Times, the police send undercover diners to restaurants to eavesdrop on your conversations and arrest you if you say something insensitive about Asian Indians or Chinese. I kid you not. It's called "Operation Napkin."

Chief Inspector Dean Walker explained: "Our aim is to act in the interests of restaurants and other diners who are offended by racist behavior but feel reluctant to intervene. ... We want to encourage the reporting of racial crimes."

According to Reuters, the operation has now spread to London as well. On any given night, up to 20 officers are sitting down to free Indian, Chinese and Thai meals, waiting for a patron to say something "illegal."

Bwaahaaahaaa! Oh those liberty loving Euros! Literally sending Humint Intel officers out amongst the unsuspecting masses

Bowers is a very good writer and a loyal American conservative.

I completely agree with this column.

"Let me be the first to say it. I am delighted -- yes, delighted -- that President Bush has the National Security Agency monitoring the national conversation...."

I too am delighted about this, and called the White House to tell them so.

And for any civil libertarian purists out there, let me just say I lived across the street in Jersey City from the first WTC bomber (the dope who went back for the deposit on the rental truck). I remember saying to hubby after 9/11 that I was a lot more scared of the terrorists over here than the ones in the caves of Afghanistan.

We're not concerned about the NSA listening in because we have nothing to hide. Love the remark, passing it on. It may not be perfect; but, we need the Patriot Act.

Europe is PC run amok. In order to preserve freedom, they have destroyed it.

Literally sending Humint Intel officers out amongst the unsuspecting masses

What is the English British word for "Gestapo"?

Lord Ha-ha forgive me, I almost committed a racist crime, using the E-word.

It is better that 500,000 Little Eichmans be blown up, then one innocent anarchist activist have his rights violated.

L0L Im not sure what the word would be!

I think it 2 words actually: socialist weenie


Sad isnt it? that those that criticize our Govs use of surveillance against the enemy in a time of war have no problem enforcing thought control via more overt methods

[festus]

No I missed it when did he say that ?

You gotta love him.

[Dawgreg]

AMEN!
