Well, now that’s the fine line of distinction of which we have been so painfully reminded in the last week or so.
How do you balance requirements for security against egregious intrusion into our rights affirmed by the Constitution? Wholesale collection of virtually all electronic data for anything and everything on the hunch that some bit of information may turn up that stops a terrorist act?
The truth is, this government hasn’t stopped any terrorist action - they bluster about how they ‘stopped’ this in Oman, or we “could” have stopped this had we had this.....,
We have 9/11 - 19 Muslims with boxcutters, shoe bomber, underwear bomber, Boston, Ft. Hood....etc.
The only proactive things I’ve seen are them arresting a bunch of militia in Michigan and old coots in North Georgia.
You strengthen our security here, not by computers, storage, intrusion and eavesdropping or intimidation (IRS)- you do it by stopping refugee immigration, enforcing student VISA rules by requiring written proof, presented in person that the ‘student’ is legally enrolled, etc.
Essentially, you do it by accurately PROFILING, just like the IRS profiled the 501C4 applications for the Tea Party - that worked out great for them.
Another doo-doo brained neocon thinking there is any hope for democratic governance in Islamic hell holes........
Build the damned border fence. Use the NSA snoop monster to locate the 15,000 overstayed “students” from nations even Foggy Bottom considers “hostile”. Stop giving away asylum and citizenship like it’s a CrackerJack prize (Sirhan, Hassan, Tsarnaev, etc.).
Let the muslim world beat itself to death with its own peaceful “religion”.
We lost Iraq and Afghanistan the minute we allowed them to found their new constitutions on Islamic law instead of forcing them to allow the freedoms of conscience, religion and association!
Both places would have exploded, of course. All we have succeeded in doing with these two wars is change one set of totalitarian, inbred rapers of goats and children for another.
Flame on for all you statist, progressive, interventionist, neocon fools.
No more American blood should be shed for these Islamists. Let the Sunnis kill the Shiites and vice versa. It’s not our fight
There is no good outcome possible in Syria. Better we do not waste the time, effort, and money trying to have a one bad outcome instead of another bad outcome.
It's no surprised that Barone was a McGovern supporter.
I think we have gone past the status of paper tiger; it’s more like paper chihuaha.
We shouldn’t do a thing in Syria or for them.
If we effect a change we will be faced with a radical unknown but, expected
Nobody takes this President seriously in the world except his Liberal base in the States. In the Middle East most countries think BHO is an absolute joke. Israel for example, had hoped (Hope & Change) that he would not be as bad as Carter but this President proved them all wrong. He is bad, inept and with malice. The Middle East is ablaze with Iran and Russian running the show. Only Israel is showing “Baitzim” (balls in Hebrew) regarding the Syrians and Hizbollah. The game players in that region know BHO is just out having Kobe beef steaks and playing golf.
Reports are that we are secretly aiding rebels.
The US needs to back away from any involvement. Instead strengthen Iraq and Israel.
Excellent points!
The Syrian rebels and what they represent are more danger to the US than Iran and Hezbollah will ever be. Hopefully Assad will prevail.
Barone supports gay marriage... that was enough for me...
This idea that U.S. soldiers are nothing more than pieces on a game board to these people is bullshiite...
But he is not, he supports gay marriage.
The Russians don't have gay pride marches in their army.
barone is just another way to spell ENEMY of FREEDOM!

National Review has been taken over by the homosexists...
Our strategic interest is in the Gulf.
Syria is key to reducing the power of Iran, our real enemy.
Therefore, providing resources to the Gulf states and Turkey to be used against Assad is in the US strategic interest.
Why is Iran our real enemy? Sometimes I feel that our Iranian “enemies” are less of a danger to the US than our Saudi “friends”.
It all started with fred the progressive barnes.
