"Another poster with interesting posting history. These supposed NSA "abuses" are bringing you guys out of the wood work."
ahhh...I see. If I don't support Stalinesque government, merely because our guys are engineering it, then I'm of questionable character. Let's see now...which is closer to being a good communist...parroting blindly whatever the Party line is, or standing up for Conservative American values and rights? Who did you take your loyalty oathe to today?
What happens, colorcountry, when the other side does the same stuff our adminstration is doing to American citizens now? You think the next democratic administration's motives are gonna be anywhere near as noble as ours? You think the democrats won't use this administration as an excuse for what they do? You think it won't be easier for democrats to take the NEXT step, to take away OUR rights?
You and I aren't gonna agree on this, obviously, but we'll be voting for the same guy in 08. So back off the innuendo.
I never said anything at all about supporting data mining, but I'll say it now loud and clear, "YES I DO!" It happens all the time with all sorts of data, and last time I check, the phone companies are public entities and their data is subject to public scrutiny (as are the records of any public utility.)
Now about you, you signed up of January 5, 2005 and posted 5 posts in two days. We heard nothing from you again until last Friday, May 12, 2006 when you posted 9 post to the thread entitled - Poll: Most Americans Support NSA's Efforts (POLL: 66% NOT BOTHERED IF NSA COLLECTS PHONE RECORDS) and you've posted 2 posts to this thread. All posts have been critical of the Administration.
When something smells bad, I try to find the source of the odor. In this case something smells fishy.
Like I said you have a VERY interesting posting record.
