As more information comes out about this program, we can expect the poll numbers to change. This program has a huge potential for misuse.

And Frank, another one; why does the government need my credit information to help determine if I’m a security risk for an airplane ride?

Jerky Knothead: Who and what are you talking about?

Where do we start?
Is there a ban on gay marriage?
Did I say there should be?

Abortion should be illegal — it prevents babies froim being born, does it not?

Is it against the law to burn the flag? No.

I don’t have any magnets on my car…

And all liberals aren’t scum …

The government can find — and has already been finding out — all about you. They’ve been doing it for years. As technology has improved, so has their spying on us.

Do I like it? No.

Does that matter? No.

This is a big non – story, and it will blow away, whether you like it — or me — or not.

Well, let’s see Crusty…how many instances is the party of “less government” willing to crawl up the ass of innocent Americans and invade our privacy, and constitutional rights?

Where to we start? Do we start with a ban on gay marriage?

Let’s travel over to making abortion illegal, shall we?

No, wait…there’s more….don’t burn the flag, or your ass will end up in the slammer.

Don’t you dare tell us we can’t pray in a public school….

What’s that, you don’t have a yellow “Support our Troops,” magnet on your car? Traitor.

Give up your most basic rights and freedoms liberal scum….but don’t you dare come after mine (2nd Ammendment).

Hey…..Crusty…..

I see frank mentions his opposition to National ID cards above. Actually, that would be the next logical step for Our Leader and his ministry of national security. If such a program were implemented would that be the final straw that causes frank to jump off the bushlover bandwagon? I doubt it.

Frank, why do you consider your insults discussion and everyone else’s insults are shit?

I know you won’t respond … it continues to be enjoyable watching you talk out of your ass.

Another well – thought out comment from Jerky Knothead.
This is not about guns (which I don’t care about, but that doesn’t make me a Second Amendment opponent, like the jerks who think, “Well, gee, I don’t have a gun — why should anyone else?); or National ID Cards, which I oppose…
So, shut that boothole you’re talkin’ out of!

It would make it considerably more difficult for Bush’s agenda to get fully implemented. Even though he can’t be voted out, Republicans in the House and Senate can.

People like Crusty McFrank are the same people who cried bloody murder when there was talk of a national firearms ID card. It’ll punish law-abiding citizens!

“The government will know where every law-abiding gun owner in America lives.”

Shut your pie hole on this NSA stuff…you bunch of hypocrites. Just shut your hole. We’re sick of your crap.

Farris, I’ll tell you “so what”. These polls mean that the overwhelming majority of Americans think the policies of this administration have been detrimenatal and even disasterous to our interests. Remember, perception is reality. It also makes most of wonder when that subborn 25 to 30 percent of us are going to “get it” like everyone else.

Frank,
I’d love to hear about the “utility and necessity” of this program. That’s the part that galls me the most, honestly. I just don’t see how collecting a massive database of every call ever made is that helpful. How about the intelligence agencies spending their resources on spies who can actually inflitrate these terrorist networks and turn them in. I bet it’d be a whole lot more effective than this crazy high-tech gadgetry. Come to think of it, the NSA’s approach to counter-terrorism (too much technology, not enough manpower) is akin to our problems in Iraq. Too much reliance on a high-tech military and not enough troops. Every hypothetical scenario I’ve read about (Falkenrath’s in the WaPo, for example) is dealth with much better under traditional investigatory practices.

Ah, the sweet desperate smell of frustrated Bush humpers.

Let no reality color your world.

Let no civil right be so cherished it can’t be thrown under the bus.

Suffer not the defenders of sanity and troublesome brown people from far off lands for they are not the deciders.

When in doubt about the future, remember these simple words, “Diebold can fix it.”

Go, and above all remember, thou shalt shag no leg save Bush.

Aye, verily.

Big Brother is watching you. Collecting your names and addresses. Mapping out your telephone numbers and e-mail address. Making note of your interests. Paying close attention to how you spend your money. Big Brother is folding these bits of information about you and millions upon millions of your fellow Americans, and you d better be sitting down for this part entering it into searchable databases.

Billmon nails it.

But some things are wrong just because they’re wrong — not because a temporary majority (or even a permanent one) thinks they’re wrong.
…

Real conservatives used to understand this. But the authoritarian right, for all of its talk about moral absolutes, understands and respects just one thing: power. In our system power flows from votes — and having the money to demagogue those votes. It doesn’t get more relativistic than that.
…
What the government is doing is illegal and unamerican, and that would still be true if the polls showed 99% support — in fact, it would be even more true.

Frank, brave words coming from what is now the ultra minority of Americans known as Bush supporters. It is “yous guys” who are actually the ones fading into oblivion and who are becoming more irrelevant with each conducted poll.
