As the NY Slimes's maggots. pretending to be reporters. continue to lie and try to electronically lynch President Bush, the stock price of the Slimes is nearing a free fall rate. Chorale of Schadenfreude to tune of Edelweiss up to close, credits over.

NYT/Buzzard!
My kind of a graphic!
Congrats to whoever put that together!
A long tedious comment that runs down the page could not give that honest "instant message"
You gotta get the attention of the reader/viewer -
Never use a 2x4 when a 4x4 will do the job better!
The imagery is perfect......

If you haven't been on the phone with alQaeda agents abroad lately, you have nothing to fear, shelton.
Get a grip...........PLEASE!!

FLASHBACK: CLINTON, CARTER SEARCH 'N SURVEILLANCE WITHOUT COURT ORDER
Bill Clinton Signed Executive Order that allowed Attorney General to do searches without court approval
Clinton, February 9, 1995: "The Attorney General is authorized to approve physical searches, without a court order"
WASH POST, July 15, 1994, "Administration Backing No-Warrant Spy Searches": Extend not only to searches of the homes of U.S. citizens but also -- in the delicate words of a Justice Department official -- to "places where you wouldn't find or would be unlikely to find information involving a U.S. citizen... would allow the government to use classified electronic surveillance techniques, such as infrared sensors to observe people inside their homes, without a court order."
Deputy Attorney General Jamie S. Gorelick, the Clinton administration believes the president "has inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches for foreign intelligence purposes."
Secret searches and wiretaps of Aldrich Ames's office and home in June and October 1993, both without a federal warrant.
Government officials decided in the Ames case that no warrant was required because the searches were conducted for "foreign intelligence purposes."
Government lawyers have used this principle to justify other secret searches by U.S. authorities.
"The number of such secret searches conducted each year is classified..."
Jimmy Carter Signed Executive Order on May 23, 1979: "Attorney General is authorized to approve electronic surveillance to acquire foreign intelligence information without a court order."

If you haven't been on the phone with alQaeda agents abroad lately, you have nothing to fear, shelton.
And if you aren't carrying a bomb, then you have nothing to fear from mandatory random cavity searches.

So.............when's the last time you had a manditory cavity search, shelton?
I've flown quite a bit lately, and they just scan my bags, and I walk through a scanner myself. Taking my shoes off is a bit of a pain, but it's a 'hardship' I can deal with to stay alive.
(I still think that there are places you could live where you didn't have to 'suffer' like this.......)

LOL! I'll take that as a 'you're hard UP, shelton, and don't like losing an argument.'
Find a desert island to call home. Then you can break all the laws you want and nobody can do anything to you for it.
Until then, avoid calling alQaeda terrorists in foreign countries and you'll be safe in America...........so you can take off the tinfoil and live a little.

You might as well call for warrantless house-to-house searches. After all, shouldn't we be doing everything possible to prevent another 9/11? If you aren't harboring terrorists, then you wouldn't mind the minor inconvenience of having armed federal agents rummaging through your home in the middle of the night.
Your comments imply that the government should be allowed to do anything and everything in the name of "national security." If that isn't what you're implying, then where do you draw the line? How do we know when government has gone too far? (The scary thing is that you probably don't even think that's possible.)

My comments most certainly do NOT imply that the government should be able to do anything and everything in the name of 'national security.'
My comments state clearly that wiretaps of phone calls to known terrorists should be permissible in order to secure the country.
Now, I'm afraid this conversation needs to be over, since in both of your posts to me you have inferred things that I didn't even come close to stating, and restated what I said incorrectly based on your tinfoil worldview.
If you want to live in a world of paranoia, feel free. I prefer to live where I do.......in a free and safe America.
