Your own imagination, nothing more. You haven't paid any attention to what's ACTUALLY been going on; you have no idea that the wiretapping has to be cleared by a judge--it just streamlines the effort.
You don't have the slightest clue, in other words, what you're talking about. You're speaking ONLY through the nonsense of your own preconceived notion that anything the government does is "bad."
To h*ll with the Constitution unless it is your OWN, PERSONAL conception of the Constitution.
Speaking with people like you makes me VERY happy that REAL adults are in charge now.
This may come as a shock to you, but not everyone sees life through the paranoid delusions that you hold.
I tell you this: If it were 60 years ago, this guy would've been under house arrest as a threat to national security. He has no IDEA how bad things can REALLY be, even in a free society, when we're at war.
We're not at war. We have no declaration of war. If we did, we could declare martial law, which I don't have a problem with. We can get out from under martial law when the war has been won. The current approach is a power grab. I don't care how you want to justify it, it's more power to Washington at our expense, at our loss.
The frustrating thing is that it doesn't have to be this way if we had some leaders with a decent pair between their legs. Everyone is so afraid to offend somebody. Sorry about the Japanese thing, but it was arguably necessary at the time. We fought to win. Here, we are fighting not to lose.
Do you have to clean the drool off the keyboard as you go? Or do you just wear a bib to contain the deposits of your salivating glee?
Don't be naive.

Ah, but this time it's about WHITE guys, eh?
You are right. I much prefer shooting and hanging sexual predators. I believe only Louisiana still has the death penality as an option for Child rape.
Rape, Crimes Against Nature, Sodomy, and Child Molestation should all be returned to Capital Crimes Status.
I am willing to bet that Mr. Smith is a libertarian.
Libertarians are probably further left than most democrats on Social Issues. Especially on Sexual Perversions. The Libertarian party platform is Pro-Abortion, Pro-Homosexual, Pro-Adultery, Pro-Fornication, Pro-Pornography, Pro-Prostitution, Pro-Sexual Perversion.
Most Libertarians want to be free to have sex with anyone they want. Libertarian members of this very forum have posted that they favor lowering the age of consent, because it is not the government's business who has sex with who or how old they are, They have posted in favor of adultery, fornication, and even bigamy and beastality.
Libertarians are as much a threat to this nation as the democrats and greens.
Hillary? You mean the New York Senator linked to the Puerto Rican terrorists and Clinton *pardons for bribes* scandals?
Her name's on the list for detention and a new residence in the kennel at Guantanamo.

Note to FF: You are free to have sex with anyone you want.
(So long as they are of legal age, and consent)
Ah... now we see the roots of your neurosis.
Yes, the guy's a major jerk, but he's our jerk, not yours.
So I call 'em "Libertines." That's FAR more accurate.
Works for me. They're pretty bitchy if you don't agree with them 100%, too.
Pres. Bush made it very clear from day one of this struggle, that it was NOT going to be war as we have ever understood it. Often, he said, there would seemingly be nothing going on--then we hear, within a week's time, of the killing of one top al-Qaeda operative and the capture of another.
Yes, war is "declared" because the President went to CONGRESS, and asked their consent, and they gave it.
There are no battle lines on the map, but it is war nonetheless. It is naive to think of it in any other way.
While I'd agree with you that we do ignore immigration laws--at our peril--I still can't get a firm answer out of anyone as to how these "new laws" (which are really amendments to existing laws, fwiw) are "restricting the freedom of citizens."
If I could only get a logical, thoughtful answer to the question: How are you any less free than you were before? I'd perhaps be more amenable to considering it.
As it is, listening to Rush Limbaugh's analysis the last two weeks has convinced me that we're going after CRIMINALS, not citizens.
