It’s funny listening to the hue and cry on this site over President Bush’ nefarious plans to spy on terrorists here in America — like that’s a bad thing.
I was watching television the other night and was reminded of something a little more broad than Bush’ terrorist spying.
Anyone remember when Clinton and Gore tried to shove the clipper chip down the nation’s throat? Yessir, a government mandated chip in EVERY COMPUTER ACROSS THE LAND for the express purpose of being able to spy on every single citizen whenever it wanted.
Kinda makes Bush look like an amateur.

RTLM! You finally see the light Cowboy!
An intrusive government is intrusive no matter what administration is in power.
I don’t want to expand the discussion on this thread, but what do you think would ensure America’s security more…
A. More wiretaps internally or
B. Securing our southern border???
We have more than enough laws, and regulations to properly ensure our security now. As far as Clinton and his “spying” was concerned, it was all about right wing groups that he thought hostile. Now its under the guise of protecting us against terrorism. My point is– the end results are the same. More government spying on its citizens. I just don’t feel comfortable with an expansive federal bureaucracy.

Amazing!
We simply ask the Federal Government to go to a SECRET COURT to gain permission to conduct these INTERNAL wiretaps and all of a sudden we’re not patriotic if we support that type action AND we’re making it easy for the enemy???? I’d call you a misinformed but that does the truly misinformed an injustice! You’re simply amazing. What if Clinton wanted the same powers???? I bet you’d be going crazy then huh??? Sorry RTLM, but no Emperor President for me.

Getting deep in here. Nice job. Now a guy from Dearborn can drive to Texas, buy 1,000 throw-away phones for $20.00 apiece, take’em back to MI, sell’em for $40 and require a warrant track every one of them.
Yeah! 2 Snaps In a Circle!
The enemy’s work is easy these days. We do it for them.
