Our most important fredoms will be temporary inded if we allow ourselves to be defeated by Islamic totalitarianism. It seems silly to have to state that the Islamist threat far far outweighs whatever discomfort a bit of spying might cause, but apparently it needs to be repeated and repeated and repeated. Freedom must be balanced with national survival. And that's why the law (and the Constitution) provides for the President's right to act as he did.

That's pretty insulting to our military, which would never surrender or be defeated by a ragtag group of camel f***ers. Last I checked, there isn't an Islamic military group on the planet with enough brains, men, or firepower to defeat the Greatest Military Unit in history.

Don't be so afraid of these loser towelheads. The more freedoms we willingly sacrifice on the altar of the WOT, the more the terrorists will have already won without fighting. Some of us aren't as afraid of them as you appear to be.

Chew on that for awhile.

The only way we could be defeated by Islamic totalitarianism (and btw, I'm glad to see that you understand that Islamic radicals fear us because of our freedoms, because freedom and Islamic governments seem to be mutually exclusive), is if we elect them to power. They have no power otherwise.

Sure, they could walk across our wide-open border and try to exert some control or create some chaos. Pancho Villa tried that, and got away with it, but I don't think that would happen again. I think you would have a lot of well-armed pissed-off Texans, etc., headed towards the border.
