If it kept innocent American citizens from being murdered, I don’t care if they found out every single thing about me.

Benjamin Franklin wsnt dealing with people flying airplanes into buildings and killing 3,000 people.

[Two Ravens]

And you are dodging. I said, I doubt Ben would have applied that statement to our enemies.

"Our enemies" existed when Franklin made his statement, and what he said applies now the same as when he spoke. It's not complicated.

[DJ MacWoW]

So you think that Ben wouldn't spy on our enemies?

You're either a nut or a troll.

Benjamin Franklin wsnt dealing with people flying airplanes into buildings and killing 3,000 people.

That is precisely the sort of moral relativism that has lead to the trashing of our Constitutional principles in almost every regard.

[jveritas]

Thank you President Bush for keeping us safe.

God bless President Bush and our brave troops.

Franklin was referring to our own citizens and not enemies of our country. A fact that seems to have slipped by the noob.

[jveritas]

What is your solution for the evil terrorists living among us? How do you expect us to know what they are doing? The only goal of the government is to protect us from domestic and foreign enemies and that is what President Bush had done for the last eight years.

God bless President Bush and our brave troops.

[DJ MacWoW]

I suppose you agree with reading terrorists "their" Miranda rights too.

The quote from Franklin was referring to our own citizens and not terrorists.

So you think that Ben wouldn't spy on our enemies?

Franklin would have never approved of eavesdropping on American citizens inside the United States to search for evidence of terrorist activity without the court-approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying.

And there it is! The left's talking point.

The phone numbers that were tracked inside our country were gotten from captured terrorists cellphones and laptops.

[jveritas]

Listen liberal fool. We have captured many terrorist cells and have stopped many terrorist attacks on our homeland because of President Bush anti-terrorism policies.

[newnhdad]

ladies and gentlemen, your democrat party motto “party before country”...

[DJ MacWoW]

That only applies to US citizens. You are a troll.

Uh, did you happen to read the posted article that started this thread?

[DJ MacWoW]

Are you stupid enough to believe that press?

[jveritas]

Two ravens is a left wing liberal. A review of his few posts since he joined our forum indicates this without any shadow of doubt. He should go to Bermuda and buy ice cream to the terrorists that Obama released there from Gitmo. May if he does this the terrorists will love him (extreme sarcasm). He is typical delusional liberal idiot who is totally detached from reality.

[DJ MacWoW]

I came to the same conclusion several posts ago.

[Two Ravens]

That only applies to US citizens. You are a troll.

You think that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..." applies only to US citizens?

No wonder the GOP has become so liberal, when the plainspoken conservative wisdom of the Founders is so routinely shat upon.
