ECHELON has been spying on U.S. citizens since the Clinton Administration and perhaps before then.

And that's a good thing to you?

No. And I didn't think so back in the 1990s.

However, there are two points to be made:

The Left--and its Political and Propaganda Machines--have reinvented the problem of domestic spying in yet one more attempt to spew forth anti-Republican propaganda--though they ran interference for the Democrat President--in typical Leftist mendacity and hypocrisy; and

9/11 has never been repeated thanks to President Bush and his surveillance program, and, considering this, the good of it outweighs the bad.

Frankly, I'm not particularly worried about domestic spying under a Republican administration, but I am seriously concerned about what would happen under a Democrat administration. This is my most gut-wrenching concern. The possibilities for abuse are legion--and the Democrats would definitely abuse it. The mendacity and hypocrisy of the Left--an example of which has just been given--not to mention other dangers of an empowered Left--are enough to give any honest citizen cause for apprehension.
