If information is power....? |
|
Then this White House and the intelligence agencies are some powerful sonuvabitches. They say they only eavesdrop on foreign calls. But if they have listened to 200 million calls, isn't that number a little high for international calls that may have come into this country? Doesn't it seem a little high to you also?
And how much information do they have? And who do they have it on? Nobody knows because they haven't told anyone. They haven't told Arlen Specter. They haven't told Pat Roberts. They haven't told Jane Harman. They haven't told anyone.
We will never know until we know the truth. We will never know the truth until we bring them before a Congressional Committee under oath, with threat of prison for lying, and even then we do not know that they will not lie even more.
We are ill-served by a media that asks the people in a poll if they thing it is legal or not? If 53% say they think it is "illegal" and the remainder disagree, then they have only muddied the waters and have neutralized an issue that should be about whether laws have been broken and not what a Democrat or Republican may think in a "poll". Polls should be irrelevant in legal matters such as these.

partisanship. This is constitutional. We'll find out if the current repugs and dems will uphold it, or sell this country out. It's put up or shut up time.

If you think about it, the United States of America gets its name because the states independently choose to become part of a larger federal govt. Since then it has become completely unglued... Why did we fight a war to separate from England--isn't the Euro more than the dollar now??

3. Under the Articles of Confederation, |
|
it was the united States of America, not the United States of America. But that's neither here nor there.
And are you seriously suggesting that we would be in better economic shape as a colony? Remember, when the Euro was first introduced, it was 30% under the dollar.
And England isn't even ON the Euro, so that's a moot point anyway.
