I want the government out of my paycheck. I am much more comfortable talking about my reading list, or my acquaintances than my personal finances. I think most people are.
AFTER Congress is done investigating Hillary's FBI files, then perhaps they can worry about wiretaps being done without a warrant.
Great line. Good post. You're doing some good work, ss. I didn't know you had it in you.

Congresscritters are WAY TOO busy with trying to impeach Bush to worry about the Hildebeast.
Malkin hits the nail on the head as usual. It reminded me of a personal story involving 'satellite surveillance' from space. During CARTER's administration..our family farm was targeted by one of these 'new' big daddy contraptions. We had drained a few acres where the river had come up and flooded the crop land and never drained out 'naturally'. We drained it..and few months later we were slapped with a fine and threatened with a government lawsuit for 'draining it. During the lawsuit, we found out some big government agency(I was very young..so don't remember all the details) had friggin satellite photos of exactly how many acres we drained of 'wetlands'.
Moral of the story..Satellite surviellance is ok..as long as it is a liberal environmental wacko telling you what you can do with your own damn land..or if a Democrat is President!
Never grow tired..never grow weary..they will defeat the true patriots and defenders of this country if we do.
STAY STRONG!!

I'm lousy at posting them.:)
Yes, Mr. Smooth. I won't make that mistake again.

Great post, cgk.
"Sen. Charles Schumer (by the way, Chuck, how's that apology to Lt. Gov. Michael Steele over his stolen credit report coming along?) did not rush to the cameras to call the alleged privacy breach "shocking."
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie.Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
Like the FBI has the time and manpower to listen to my phone calls.
Oh yeah, 280 million Americans are in grave danger of having their privacy compromised.
Search "Echelon" here and read the threads from Clinton's days. Lots of people have done an about face on this sort of thing, and it ain't just the Left.
BTTT
The irony of the concern with the Patriot Act, especially by conservatives, is the fear of giving honest government the tools to fight crime and the war on terror because they don't won't dishonest government to have those tools. How is that different from liberals demanding "gun control" and our opposing it? How is that different from McCain demanding fair treatment of prisoners to insure that ours be treated well?
The truth is the bad guys, the Communists/Democrats, will do what they want regardless of the law. (Remember the Clintons? Was there a law they didn't break?) So will terrorists. So will street gangs and other assorted thugs.
All insist that we be purer than Caesar's wife while they remain free to do as they please. They all demand their "rights". As with many other things in our society, like our language, the left turns this upside down.
Laws and mores are to set society's rules and penalties are set to restrict and punish those who break them. In this case the left, typically, wants to punish the honest and reward those who would destroy us.
