Re:Spam for McCain!The right will vote for McCain, regardless, at this point.
You SURE about that ??
There are a LOT of conservatives planning to sit this one out.
Take one of today's headlines on The Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler:
"McSh*tsandwich, In His Own Mavericky Words"Look on FreeRepublic, the right-wing equivalent of the DailyKos...
LOTS of people who refuse to vote for McCain.
The idea is, at least to many on the Right, that an Obama Presidency will be so disastrous as to guarantee a GOP President in 2012. . .

Re:So..?
Oh really? Proof? Maybe you ought to report that to someone if you have information of a national security nature. Or are you just using vague scare tactics to push policy?
Well, first there's Beslan.
Proof? I have no more proof than the alarmists had on 9-10-01. I do have my reasons for concern, however:
here
here
here
here
and
here
(of course, consider the sources as always!)
I've been looking for this type of thing since Beslan. Glenn Beck is reporting on it all week. Not that I expect you to be a Glenn Beck fan or anything, but his points on this are valid, if a bit alarmist.
Really? Hell to pay? Voluntary resignations and the firing/court martials of low level NCOs is hardly hell being paid. Maybe if someone responsible for OKing various abuses were ever charged, or [gasp] impeached then your sentiment would be comforting. From what we have seen thus far, a wrist slap is the most anyone has gotten. Case in point: although the FISA court was the ONLY legal way to tap certain international calls it was sidestepped completely by this administration. In total defiance of the law. Name one conviction of someone involved in ordering or executing those wiretaps without going through FISA. Zero accountability. It matters not whether the President, his legal council, or anyone other than SCOTUS thought the law should be different. It was defined, it was breached as defined, not one bit of accountability.
There is something more powerful than SCOTUS, POTUS and even COTUS (Congress). It's the Press. I linked to the Clinton trying to abuse political opponents by using their FBI files against them and they got caught. Just like if a Prez tries to use a wire tap against a political opponent for political or other nefarious purposes will also be caught and tried in the court of public opinion, much like we are doing here. -
Re:So..?Something that people fail to understand is that government has no interest nor the resources to monitor the actions of those that mean no harm. I assure you it does, and it does. So we have no rights now? Have the feds kicked down your door for typing what you just did? If things are as you say they, then they already should have. Have they? Then you must be wrong. I'm willing to give up some rights to prevent it. You can't be serious? You're either too young or too dumb to understand the concept of a slippery slope. Why does the slippery slope only apply to eaves dropping? We have laws on the books concerning all sorts of things. Do these not apply to the "slippery slope"? The government can post speed limits. Slippery slope? The government can seize your house if you don't pay taxes. Slippery slope? The government can jail you for 48 hrs for no reason. Slippery slope? The government can keep records on you (driving, taxes and so on). Slippery slope? You can apply the slippery slope argument to anything. Why is this different? Should we repeal all laws because they could fall prey to the slippery slope argument? You're also obviously unaware of the fact that more innocent people die in car crashes every year than died in terrorist attacks in all of the 20 century. Where are the billions in declaring war on people who don't wear seat belts? Would you support police cameras in your garage to check that you were wearing your seatbelt before you left your driveway? Perspective is a wonderful thing. Pity you don't have any. Actually, my car beeps tirelessly if I am moving without my seatbelt on. Should I sue Toyota for infringing on my rights? Should I sue the gov't for requiring me to wear a seatbelt? Back to your slippery slope argument, it is against the law in most, if not all states to drive without a seatbelt, yet no one is suggesting that we place cameras in driveways to ensure that you wear one. Why does your slippery slope argument not apply here?
Yes, more people die from car crashes, and we do things to try to prevent that from happening. We have speed limits, seat belt laws, drunk driving legislation and so on. We have more officers patrolling the streets looking for drunk drivers and speeders than we have looking for terrorists. All of these things could be considered "giving up liberty for security". Traffic laws affect me much more than anti-terror legislation. Is it against the law to drink? Is it against the law to drive? Then why are the two combined illegal? Telling me I can't do both is infringing on my right to do one or the other. Allowing the government to listen in on some telephone conversations is much less of an inconvenience than forcing me to wear a seatbelt or find another way home when I've had too many at the local pub. And in case you haven't noticed, there IS a huge war against drunk drivers.
Now, back to terrorism. Have you read about Beslan? What if I told you that we have reason to believe that there are plans to carry out that sort of attack here? Now I don't mean to sound like I'm saying "think of the children", but if listening to my phone calls will prevent uber-religious psychos from taking over several elementary schools and slaughtering a bunch of school kids like livestock, then please, listen away! The fact that you are not willing to make such a minuscule sacrifice that will have no affect on your life whatsoever tells me where your priorities lie.
How's that for perspective? -

I'm sorry. Really.

Your reuters cameraman...
Oh yeah, here's a different point of view on that reuters cameraman link from alertnet. I think he does a decent job of explaining it:

Oh, but they can. And many of them can even spell quite well. Some are even disturbingly witty and charismatic. See their hangout.

Nation of Riflemen & anti-idiotorian rotweille
A lot of my favorites have been posted already, but here's a few more: Kim Du Toit
The motto: Turning america back into a riflemen, one person at a time. Blogs about guns, WoT, liberal failings, etc.
He also keeps a count of media stories of home invaders or other criminals lawfully and rightfully shot in self defense. Also known as "Dead Goblin Count", which is above 80 right now. Not sure when he started the count.
His readers sponsor two snipers headed to Iraq, and so far we've outfitted them with first class scopes for their rifles, rangefinders, and a few other toys that are significantly better than what Uncle Sam provided them.

Anti-Idiotorian Rottweiler
Typically home to many, many rants about liberals. Fun to read at times. Also loaded with fiskings of various news articles.
Comments also allowed.
Both Kim and Misha are immigrants, now citizens, who I'm proud to call my fellow countrymen. -
Re:Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor not a scriptwriter!what is it with people conflating fascism, stalinism and (the comparatively *extremely* tame) current US rights restrictions as if they were all the same?
It's really very simple.
They want to paint the current administration, the US in general, and the basic principles of independance, freedom, liberty, and respect for humanity, that the US was founded on, with as black a brush as possible, so that they can get their traitorous party into power and surrender our sovereignty to the likes of France and Libya.
