FISA Drumbeat

We won a reprieve, but now is not the time to let up on FISA. Now is the time to concentrate our efforts on our presumptive nominee. The MSM is all about how Obama is "tacking to the center" for the general election, but this candidate started out pretty much in the center -- so we can read that as "tacking right".

Don't let him do it. Can't we at least wait until he is in office before we let him break our hearts? Although we are unlikely to win a straightforward victory, Dem leadership can just delay this thing into oblivion to take the heat off their candidate -- but that is only likely if we create enough heat.

Likeminded supporters have set up a group at Obama's campaign site to help him see the light. Join.


One breathtaking comment from a recent comment (emphasis in original):

1. Why do we claim that our "privacy" is being violated when in fact we are communicating with another person? There is no right to privacy that extends to communication between two individuals, unless that communication is protected by law. There is no invasion of privacy if two or more people are communicating. In other words, if you want privacy, then don't use your phone or email!!! DUH!

2. This idea that we should somehow sue cell phone carriers for responding to an executive order is ludicrous, in my opinion. When you signed on as a cell phone user, did you get a written guarantee from the cell phone carrier that your communications would not be monitored by third parties? Probably not. Did you get a written guarantee that your cell phone records would not be shared with the
government? I doubt it. Again, if you want privacy, don't use a phone or email!

Wow. Who thought it was just that simple?! So the only right to privacy we have is confined to our own homes? This commenter apparently believes that what J. Edgar Hoover did to Bobby Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. -- not to mention thousands of anti-war protesters during the 60s and 70s was perfectly okay -- because the idiots had the temerity to leave their homes!

This is ridiculous. Just imagine how much fun the government could have with us if this kind of idiotic reasoning is allowed to prevail. Be afraid. Be very afriad.
