The left’s behavior vis-a-vis ‘Joe the Plumber’ and now Barbara West makes it clear why they were upset about the NSA’s signals intelligence against Al Qaeda: psychological projection.
They know that they themselves couldn’t exercise the power to eavedrop on overseas telecom without using it to spy on their political opponents, and can’t imagine that those of us who want to defend the Constitution as written, not reintepret it as a suicide pact, wouldn’t do likewise.
That’s a good point. And there’s no doubt they would have thought it a good idea if they had thought of it. But to tell the truth, it would have worried me.
I’m still concerned over the implications if they are elected to office with those things in place.
