The SS contacted the newspaper, and, via email no less, the guy was asked to call the SS on his own just to make sure there was no real threat.

Sorry, but your rights are still intact.

Spence, you don't understand... that's the way they get their point across. Comment about a situation, conveniently leave out the facts that don't support their agenda and get the minions riled up.

FishermanTim's post personifies with his "I heard on my morning drive." Nothing like believing everything you hear, as long as it's from someone that agrees with you. What flavor kool-aid are they serving for you guys today?

and how does that differ from the past 8 years? Dems have been crying that their freedom and civil rights have all but disappeared under Bush, yet there is 0 evidence.

0 evidence huh?

Illegal wiretapping
http://www.examiner.com/x-13426-CIA-...-eavesdropping

Cheney pushing for the US military to do a raid on a suspected terrorist
http://chattahbox.com/us/2009/07/25/...to-us-streets/

10 seconds of Google searching.

Not to mention just about all aspects of the Patriot Act.


Jimmy, while we disagree on many things, the reason I always respect your opinion is because I know you are informed and do some additional research before commenting on something. It's the people that start posts with "This morning I heard...", take what they heard as 100% fact and then come on here to piss and moan.

Great article on Chattahbox.com. If you read all the way down to the bottom, you can see it was written by the well known and respected political reporter "Sue".

That could possibly be the worst example ever of a legitimate "news" article. I guess that's what happens when you spend "10 seconds on google" doing your research to make a point about how right you are. Then you go on to say that you respect someone because they are informed and do the extra research? Come on JD, you can do better than the Examiner and Chattahbox can't you? What about some National Enquirer articles or better yet, Mad Magazine? They might even have articles penned by people who only use their first names, too.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

JD Rodham Clift is a constant contradiction, I think he's completely confused himself....
