LIVE THREAD: SJC hearing on the NSA surveilance program - C-span 1; 9:30 am EST

[ken5050]

Good Monday morning, once again, fellow political jinkies. The NFL season may be over, but the political season inside the Beltway is 24/7/365. So join us, if you can, as those wacky Dems on the Senate Judiciary committee reprise their pitiful efforts to once again smear President Bush and score political points..

[Miss Marple]

You know, I think we shouldn't disuss those computers. I would not like AQ types thinking that is a dandy target.

Kyl.

Be careful about revealing how the job is being done!

"I would really like to know whom the terrorists are speaking to here in the US and why are democrats so worried........"

yep. They doth protest just a wee bit too much.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I would really like to know whom the terrorists are speaking to here in the US and why are democrats so worried........

I wouldn't be surprised if AQ was collaborating with the Democratic party.

The fact that the Democrats and AQ were reading from the same faxed talking points throughout the 2004 campaign was truly amazing.

[Bahbah]

Kohl is possible the most forgettable member of this committee.

Kohl is soooo stupid. "Why don't you follow the law or seek new law?" Senator, we believe we are following the law. Gonzales almost laughed.

[theophilusscribe]

Oh, they understand it. They're just afraid their own treasonous action will be found out.

(i.e. What exactly did Hilary promise the Iranians in exchange for their campaign contributions?)

[conservativebabe]

Seriously, he's a waste of skin.

Gonzalez is getting pissy with him. LOL!

[debg]

Ol Kohl-weevil sure is thick!

[Carolinamom]

Marine Tim died in the Beirut bombings...1983.

Your comment has initiated a tagline change. Resurrecting an oldie but a goodie and as relevant now as 3 years ago.

There is a book about that......

Unholy Alliance : Radical Islam and the American Left

And a very good review:

*********************************

Vastly Illuminating, September 25, 2004

Reviewer:

Kat Bakhu (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews

I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air.

Quote "AT HOME" and "ABROAD".... HE is doing GREAT!!!

By the way...I'd be curious to know how many of these Senators, when they took their oaths (if they ever did) upon attaining their office, swore to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America...against all enemies...FOREIGN and DOMESTIC"...I just wonder.

[BigSkyFreeper]

It was on clinton's watch that the terrorists bombed the Marine barracks in Beirut.......

That was Reagan, back in the 1980's. You're referring to the Khobar Towers bombing in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia in June of 1998.

[Mo1]

my bad .. I didn't read all over your comment .. sorry

[conservativebabe]

But, these days, I wouldn't be surprised.

Kohl "Let's move on", his mantra in committee, meaning, "Um, I didn't understand your answer."

[conservativebabe]

LOL! YES! Perfect!

Got tinfoil?

Not a conspiracy nut, but the similarities were too glaring to ignore.
