This is the kindof crap we're dealing with!

LTTE in the Jackson, MS Clarion-Ledger:

Liberals trying to damage security

The left continues to undermine national security in the most despicable, cynical way. I'm quite sure the reasonable liberals at The New York Times know full well that programs like the database on financial records are absolutely vital, and their secrecy is likewise vital ("White House defends financial monitoring," June 24).

However, they have made the most anti-American and evil sort of decision: While tools like this are vital for saving American lives, the liberals will not permit any Republican president to use them.

Only Democratic presidents are permitted to employ the full panoply of powers for protecting American lives.

It's blackmail, pure and simple. Liberals are saying: Either let a Democrat into the White House, or we will continue to sabotage American security and, in effect, kill Americans. We will keep secrets when a Democrat is in office, but not a Republican. So we offer the American people a choice: Let the politicians we favor run the country, or we will help al-Qaida murder you.

1. Don't worry, I'm sure Rush told him just what to say.

2. This clown was what, 1500 miles away from NYC

on 9/11. This hate filled screed just proves a point I've made over and over again: the threat one feels from terrorists is inversely proportional to one's chances of ever confronting one.

This person needs psychiatric help. Either that hate is going to kill him or he's going to snap and start killing us, probably practicing on his wife and kids first.

He's wound WAY too tight.

3. So...

If the NYT lets citizens in a "FREE" country know that Cheney is listening in on our phone calls while jerking off to our bank records, Americans will die? I...think..not. How does one respond to this tripe??? These people are farking paranoid and utterly devoid of sense.

4. Republicons are great for National InSecurity

Let the facts speak for itself.

5. which Americans have dies lately?

Oh, that's right, the ones President Bush sent to Iraq.

[liberalmuse]

10. This is true!

I'm sure terrorists intent on blowing up stuff in the U.S. are going to leave a trail of traceable bank transactions...not! Well, unless you happened to have been coerced into doing so by an undercover FBI agent intent on entrapment. This is why I believe that the Bush cabal simply wants to keep tabs on what the average Joe American citizen is doing, since they're basically paranoid, power-mad despots.

6. I'm debating a response LTTE

Debating whether it's worth doing, because like the man said, "You can't fix stupid."

16. do it.I live around the same type of people.

People have come to me later and told me"I thought I was the only one...".It makes a difference.

7. Is there any possibility, of a far fetched idea of

rounding up "liberals" as committing treason? I mean, if they collect enough of us, it would scare plenty of others. Would the existing police forces and armed forces really obey such an order?

[Chipper Chat]

8. Tera terra terra in Jackson Mississippi!

S'okay Clarion-Ledger. Keep licking Bush's butt. But tell me, what has hE done for Mississippi the past 5 years to help raise the quality of education other than provide tastier Koolaid at lunchtime?

11. The C-L actually leans barely left of center, sometimes

I found that rather surprising when I came here. But they'll still run syndicated idiots like Cal Thomas. Haven't seen them run Coultergeist in a while though.

9. The paper PUBLISHED this?

Did it have a :sarcasm: icon along side it? Yikes!

[The_Casual_Observer]

12. We left it up to "the grown-ups" and 9 months later the World

Trade Center was hit. What more can be said?

[jimshoes]

13. Does this nitwit have a clue

that the administration is trying to gut the constitution of the first amendment? Does he realize that they are trying to limit free speech in the USA because the boogeyman might bite us? I say damn the boogeyman and damn this admin for trying to turn the USA into 1940's Germany. I'm tired of losing my rights because some dumb shit is scared that he'll be terrorized. Pssst, hey buddy, you already are terrorized, but not by the people you think.

14. I think you mean

1930s Germany.

[jimshoes]

15. Lets say late 30'

early 40's. They didn't have a very good late 40's, that's true.

[tjwash]

20. Actually you're not far off.

If we invade Iran next, that will be the third country we have attacked in the middle east in the what; last 4 years?

All the while even a shitload of Democrats, that have been completely against this illegal war since the beginning have bought into the jingoistic tripe about supporting the troops-or else, even though we know innocents thousands of miles away are being slaughtered so that a handful of multinationals can get filthy rich.

Those of us that haven't bought into all of that, are being intimidated and shamed even off of the DU message boards.

No, I think a 1940's Germany analogy isn't far off...

17. what a turd-munching moran

no "president" in all of US history has ever grabbed more unrestrained power than king george

18. Mississippi ??..... forget it ...it's Mississippi......
