"Public hearings on this issue are essential to addressing the serious concerns raised by alarming revelations of NSA electronic eavesdropping." -- Grover Norquist, president, Americans for Tax Reform Yes, some of your best buddies might be under surveillance for their conversations with Al Quaeda....right, Grover?

This is a good example of how the MSM makes things happen. They put out an article titled "Conservatives Breaking with President on NSA" in the hope of persuading some conservatives to actually break with the president on this.
Right now the public is overwhelmingly on Bush's side. But if this cr@p keeps up, the MSM will turn the public around in a couple of months.
The MSM will destroy this country yet. They already cost us heavily in Vietnam, which eventually killed 2 million people in SEA. They're dangerous.

The Current Administration seems to be extending the work of Gary Hart and Andrew Young (Patriot Act) with the tactics of Ramsey Clark. Funny how Hart, Young, and Clark provide the philosophical underpinnings of supposedly conservative officials.

Newswire is a Leftist propaganda outlet not a serious source of news. These "Conservatives" are has been stooges who are of NO significance. They sold out to be part of Al Gores "Liberty Coalition", they are PR Whores NOT Conservatives.

Newswire is a Leftist propaganda outlet not a serious source of news. Actually, everyone should realize that this is a press release. In other words, the people and group named in this article wrote it and released it.

Gee I am sorry "DR" that the difference between citizens collaborating with a Foreign power and domestic criminals seems so painfully difficult for pseudo intellectuals to grasp?
Once the citizens begin to collaborate with a foreign group like Al Qeda they go from being members of, to enemies of, our Civic Society. Time for the hysterics to pull their heads out of their butts and wake up to the fact that we are AT WAR. Unlike these pretend "Conservatives" WE understand the President is a CO EQUAL branch of Govt NOT a Congressional Clerk. Too bad so many people are so rabidly ignorant of HOW our system works. Maybe these "Patriots" should spend their money on some basic CIVICS classes instead of wasting it on THIS rabid stupidity.

I can understand some of Barr's positions and maybe even defend them from a conservative perspective, but to join and side with the ACLU in any way is a disgrace. I don't see how a conservative could be comfortable working with an organization so devoted to overturning traditional values through judicial fiat.

For answers to questions about Grover Norquist, read the book Infiltration. Grover is married to a rather radical middle eastern woman who works for the State Department.
Grover also started up a new company a few years ago; I've forgotten the name but it's something like Islamic Studies.
He constantly caters to Muslims and as a result, a lot of conservatives have stopped attending his Wednesday morning meetings or having anything to do with him.

I don't know where they were, but I bitched (uselessly, as usual) about Echelon. I don't think Ms President Rodham will find the precedents unhelpful.
