OUR FREEDOMS AND THE RULE OF LAW ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE !!

[kentuck]

God knows we support education benefits for our troops. And we know our unemployed need an extension on their benefits. We know those are important issues. However, they are not important enough to make a deal, or a "compromise" with the White House and the Republicans to not hold accountable those that have spied on American citizens illegally and are now looking to be part of a deal. It doesn't work that way. Our rights and our freedoms are not to be used as a negotiating tool. I hope the House and the Senate will recognize that cold hard fact.

1. The problem is, Congress won't act on that recognition or on our

behalf. I'm getting used to that, sadly.

2. The House needs an enema...

to get rid of the crap like that which has passed our way today.

3. all to protect this SOB

he wants to protect those telecom companies cuz they are covering up for him, and he wants to spy on us...........what to protect us, yea sure, he is a freaking coward, again remember what he said

You're with us or against us. sick SOB.

4. You are correct.

It is not about immunity for the telecoms - it is about immunity for George W Bush and the other criminals that broke our laws and international laws.

5. and the leadership needs this to cover their own ass

they are co-complicit!

6. If by "NON-NEGOTIABLE" you mean "gone", why, you're right!

7. Cold hard facts...

seldom surface in the house of smoke and mirrors
that our government has become.

What can we do about it?
We have no representation, so nothing I guess.

Figure out how to survive it is the best-case scenario I see.

8. I understand the dilemma...

And this is a dangerous state of mind for citizens like yourself to sink into.

9. Why is it dangerous to understand that we have lost the country?

There is no America-
there is no "national interest."

There is only the most insidious amassing of power
into the fewest of hands in the history of the world.

These people don't recognize borders, laws or anything
but their OWN interests.

Face it-
We lost.
It aint never coming back.

11. Because it may contagious...

And there may be many that do not realize what has been lost? Once they find out, they may not be so accepting?
