Live Breathe and Die

Archive for July, 2008

I just read an essay on the left-wing DailyKos that shows how vulnerable we are in the U.S. if the left gets in power. As a mater of fact; you can kiss your ass good-bye.

I began to write a comment about the article, but realized that all the comments I have submitted on The Huffington Post have been moderated out. If you ever look at the long lists of comments on either web site, you will notice that there is no varying opinions. Those allowed to post must be in total agreement with the unsupported opinion of the writer.

With no way to present an educated opinion on the subject of wire-taps and the decision the Senate just made, the only recourse is posting on my own blog. This is what I wanted to say:

This essay is enormously flawed. It makes accusations without ever taking a moment to consider the foolishness of those accusations.

First of all, the President has no reason to be listening in on U.S. citizens. What profit or what motive does he have; what substantial evidence do you have that he does this or has any motivation to do it? Do you have evidence that would stand up in court beyond the fact that you have a maniacal hatred of the man?

Secondly, what plan do you have to prevent the next 9/11? The answer is that the left has no plan. Under a left-wing administration, it is almost certain that tens of thousands, if not millions of Americans will lose their lives because our guard will have been dropped.

The naive nature of those who read The Daily Kos and The Huffington Post is to believe that we can simply drop our guard. You never stop to think that the terrorists have been prevented from further attacks since 2001. They have certainly tried and conspired, but our intelligence and electronic surveillance has prevented more American bloodshed.

If your family is killed in the next terrorist attack, and it turns out that electronic surveillance would have saved them, you still won’t get it. The Democratic leadership and the Democratic presidential candidate will leave us open to attack, defenseless and dead.

Your essay claims that Barack Obama and a group of Democratic Senators will overturn the decision made today. That is very likely. Then, because of baseless claims that the president uses this technology to spy on Americans, you will leave us all open to a horrendous death.

You are the same people who tried to blow up the military recruiting station in NY City. You are the same people who defaced the military recruiting station in Berkeley and ordered the military out of the city. You are the same hypocrites who then demand that we bring our military home. Is it because you love the troops all of a sudden, or you want to give more leeway to the terrorists? One has to wonder. (end of comment)

The Senate approved the changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on a 69-28 vote. 23 brave Democrats crossed the aisle to declare that national security is more important than kowtowing down to the extreme left who would leave us in peril.

The surveillance in question is actually data-mining calls pointed outside the U.S. to areas of intense Al Qaida concentration. It is not monitoring of domestic calls as the far left has alleged. Their mission is to deceive Americans who don’t know better and believe such tripe as fact.

We endanger ourselves by giving control of our country to these misguided, delusional lunatics. Their world is immersed in hyperbole, conjecture, urban-myth and hearsay. In their minds, these things all represent fact. They are oddly aligned with the terrorists who seek to annihilate us. They both see America as the enemy.
