Regarding the government engaging in domestic spying after Sept. 11, many in the mainstream media seem to be taking the view that this sort of thing is outrageous and that spying on mosques and Islamic businesses is wrong. Yet they would be the loudest critics if another catastrophic terrorist attack happens.
When it comes to my civil liberties, the one I care about the most is my right to life. If that’s taken away from you, all the rest doesn’t matter.
Quite frankly, I don’t understand why people would care if the government monitored them in secret if they weren’t doing anything criminal. And if the Democrats want to take this issue to the midterm elections, I think they had better be prepared to lose even more seats.
Americans are much more concerned about Islamic psychos sneaking in nuclear bombs and wiping out our country.

HOORAH!! Another voice of sanity amidst the chaos and lunacy of the Bleeding Heart Liberals.
No... I'm concerned about ANY psychos attacking. But wiping out the country...? As Lincoln said, "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
The administration broke the law and lied about it for our own good? They should have asked congress TO CHANGE the law instead.
Us Republicans are very much in love of Hitlers way of control. In fact ,i went to Germany to be near my hero. Us Bushco's are the very danger that democrats have warned america about.Hi Hitler
you presume that you'll give up a couple of rights because the nice people in control (Bush, I guess), will not abuse their newfound power.
What would you say if it were Hillary Clinton deciding to monitor your phone calls? Or Barbara Boxer?
I'm a grown-up, and I don't need a daddy in the white house. I grew up in a nation of laws, and that's the way I'd like it to stay.
