Note to any trolling freepers
Edited on Mon Jan-02-06 07:29 PM by LuckyTheDog
I think I speak for a lot of folks here when I say that, in my opinion, Bush's domestic bugging was not a problem in and of itself. The problem is that he did it ILLEGALLY and without a court order, which is required by law.

The fact that Bush refused to accept the oversight required by the law raises an obvious question: What the HECK was he doing that he didn't want the FISA court to know about?

So, folks, please stop pretending that the "silly liberals" are arguing against surveillance of criminals and terrorists. All we want (and many on your side feel the same way) is for the president to obey the law. And if he refuses to do so, we expect the Congress to do its job and impeach him.

Just wanted to clear that up, OK?

1. Well said.
Now put that in a letter to your local paper (or email)! Maybe don't use the word 'Freeper.'

Maybe use the term 'misguided conservatives.'

3. Why do we keep calling them conservatives?
What is conservative about the largest debt in all of history?
What is conservative about polluting the planet to the point where the actual climate is altered and everything is poisoned?
What is conservative about uninvited nation building?
What is conservative about scrapping and destroying the Constitution and bill of rights.

Fascist maybe. Right wing maybe. Nazi maybe, but this is anything BUT conservative.

5. Agreed-but we will never see this thread posted over there-they
like to feed on their own propoganda.

8. You are right
I have tried twice to post stuff over there that was not at all "lefty," but merely a mild challenge to their orthodoxy. I really did try to be respectful of their rules and not be a "flamer." But each time, my post was deleted in (literally) less than a minute and I was unable to post again using the same user name.

9. So the freepers would be
cool with this if Hillary does it in the future?

Bet the thought of that really creeped them out. As it should. They should be creeped out now.

Happy New Year from the left coast! :hi:
