Well apparently the war on terror isn’t over. Its just that all Americans have been judged as terrorists by the Regime.

In the final analysis, America’s profoundly powerful surveillance of the world is in effect, an empire. And do the American people really want to rule an empire, or are they content with just America?

The same question the British asked and answered.

It won't be the American people who rule that empire but a very small ruling class

“The loony left and the loony right cancel each other out”

Loony right huh? Well I guess you must be one of those moderates I keep hearing about.

Yup. Another tip o' the iceberg. Cruz know enough not to be THE story when he doesn't have to.

Let's let this story bleeeed. When even the blind can't ignore the pool of blood, then its time to squeeze the story even more.

That term, "loony right" also struck me as odd as well.

The poster, bkepley, must be attending a Karl Rove/John McCain "bi-partisan moderate" Workshop with all their "good friends on the other side of the aisle."

Why the endless fault finding with fellow Republicans over narrow issues?

I would often agree with you but the increasing surveillance of our personal communications and, indeed, lives is not a narrow issue. It's at the absolute core of our liberty.

I won't freeze Cruz out just yet, but he'd better start showing a little more skepticism about the NSA or I'm solidly in Rand's camp. Rand has his faults, of course, but none of them abridge my liberty.

Well said. Let me rephrase.

“Do the American people really want to pay the price for a very small ruling class to rule an empire?”

I don’t know. This statement is something I could easily identify with. The new one is one I would shy away from. No way.

Both Cruz and Howard Johnson are right.

Howard Johnson is right!

Well, if we're going to stay, and I think it's a big mistake......we're going to need a new sheriff. Now, who is it going to be?

Howard Johnson is right. We'll wire the governor.

Why don't we wire the governor to send us a sheriff?

Why should we get our own men killed?

Howard Johnson is right. We'll wire the governor.

Then let us pray for the deliverance of our new sheriff.

Will the congregation please rise?

Bush did a lot of things that I wouldn’t trust to Obama. That’s the problem with reliance on good leadership. The flakes always have a precedent.

The Fourth Amendment, border security and amnesty are NOT “narrow issues.”

Wait and see? Ted Cruz is coming precariously close to shutting the book on any trust I had left in the government.

More likely, he is waiting to see which way the wind blows.
