| 2. A big component of this story is... |

...Junior's lie that the spying isn't on ordinary citizens. Only if you have a suspected terrorist link are you being monitored.
Bullshit!
They're spying on us. AND lying about it.
WTF are they doing?

| 9. How are they going to do that? |

I'm curious about your thoughts on this issue.
Are you thinking that those "detention camps" might be put to good use pretty soon.
I really don't know what to think anymore.
What scares me most is---the things that they're doing--that we don't know about.
Glen Beck was just talking about Michael Chertoff's comments about not using the Internet. He doesn't use email and he doesn't use the Internet. Beck said that Chertoff knows damn well that anything and everything is being tracked--and Chertoff's refusal to use email/Internet/electronic communication is proof how the deep level of surveillance that we're all under.
Lovely.

If mine were still alive (WWII vet and a lifelong Dem) I'm quite sure he'd feel the exact same way. After all they were "the men that saved the world." Bill Clinton, June 6, 1994.
I am sooo angry right now, I can't even begin to describe it.
Don't mean to blow my own horn, but I think my sig line says it all....

You sig DOES say it all. It's just a damn shame that we have to keep referring back to sound bites of people that really spoke the truth!

I just lost my Dad (86 y.o. WWII Veteran) two months ago to a sudden brain aneurysm. How blessed you are to have his company. The Greatest Generation indeed!
Sounds like he is much more aware than many deluded twenty somethings. :applause:
Thanks for making me smile. :hi:
