Interesting observation from Fred Grandy on WMAL this morning. He said that in light of the recent poll which shows that the majority of Americans are not bothered by these programs (given the realities of 9/11), then it shows that the Democrats, who think they are in the mainstream, are quite the opposite.

Yeah, a majority of Americans weren't worried about Filegate, Carnivore, or Echelon either. Democrats are out of touch this time Republicans were last time. It is truly pathetic.

I'm constantly reminded of a prophetic statement made by a FReeper when we had the rally on the Capital steps. I think it was in 1998. He and I were trying to enlighten a drug-warrior on the errors of his thinking. Nothing was getting through to the poor soul.

Any way, since we were not getting through to the poor misguided soul this FReeper dismissed him by saying; “If you really like the war on drugs, just wait until they start the war on terror, you’ll love that.”

The guy left and I said to this gentleman; “You’re right about that!”

And He said; “All they need is the right excuse.”

You may know that FReeper. He is none other than Jim Robinson.
