		<description>Uh, that came across as more aggressive than I meant it to.  Please accept my apologies Steve, and know that there is no reason for you to run for the hills.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Don&#039;t sell your freedom for a little security, nyc. And a moderate man did not invent fire, it was a guy on the Left fringe beating rocks together. It could have been a guy on the Right but he was too scared to leave the cave and go out into the light.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This from a guy on the left who&#039;s too afraid to allow cartoons to be printed.  when you sell your rights for a little security as you do by bowing to muslim ultimatums, you completely lose your right to say other people are &#039;selling their freedom&#039;.

It is not a baseless accusation that the people on the extreme left are wimps.  It&#039;s proven time and again by your actions, and by people like you.  If a caveman on the far left started beating rocks together, a catterpillar angry about the noise would be enough to send him running for the hills.</description>

		<description>The 3:58 post was comical. Thanks for the chuckle anyway.

You could at least say one wrong inconsequential detail to each member of Congress to see who leaks it so that the inconsequential detail would not be something that would get anyone in trouble for lying. Let&#039;s see we could have fun with that....

The administration could mention some of the following inconsequential details to find out who is the leaker:
1) That one of the phone tapped people lived in hollywood.
2) That one of the phone tapped people bet on the Steelers game
3) That one of the phone tapped people read DK everyday
4) That one of the phone tapped people was a vegan
5) That one of the phone tapped people lives in Washington D.C.</description>

		<description>[Sorry for feeding the troll, folks, but I can&#039;t resist.]

Steve, I would ask you to provide some documentation to support your allegation that the President admitted to &quot;breaking the law,&quot; but I won&#039;t...because you don&#039;t have any.  Because he never said that.

There&#039;s a disconnect between the President&#039;s and Congress&#039;s understanding of the extent of his powers to wage war.  That&#039;s what this is about.  FISA was written long before cell phones enjoyed widespread use and was never intended to impinge on the President&#039;s ability to conduct intelligence-gathering operations against our enemies.  Who could have foreseen the sorts of advances in technology that would make the FISA provisions for obtaining warrants too cumbersome to be effective?

Let&#039;s not lose sight of the fact that a) there is ZERO evidence to date that the President or NSA used this program in any manner other than the narrow purpose for which it was intended; b) if they HAD abused it, it would have been leaked by now; c) the program was used for the purpose of fighting those who have sworn to do harm to us.  Nobody in Congress thus far has suggested shutting down the program.

I feel your pain, man.  This thing isn&#039;t turning out to be the big scandal you hoped it would be.  I understand that for you and your liberal buddies, that&#039;s just eating you up inside.  Let it go, Steve...okay?  Bush Derangement Syndrome is treatable; there are medications for these sorts of things.  And if you live here in Atlanta, I know a good therapist.  Is it okay if he&#039;s a Republican?  Because I&#039;m pretty sure he is.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m with Severian...if this program is going to be described in any detail to members of Congress, it is effectively dead in the water.  It&#039;s not just the committee members that get to see this stuff; it&#039;s their staff as well, so all totalled, we&#039;re talking dozens, perhaps hundreds of people.  And as soon as somebody with an axe to grind against the President spots something, ANYTHING that can cast the administration in a bad light, they&#039;ll go straight to the press with it.

I like the idea of feeding false information to the committee, just to see where it finally shows up.  But then they&#039;d accuse the administration of lying to the committee -- which would be true, of course -- and the larger issue of intelligence leaks would be lost in the brouhaha.</description>

		<description>Actually Steve I believe I&#039;m a moderate to left wing kind of guy. 43 didn&#039;t break the law on this one bro. On Plame absolutely but that is nowhere near as important as national security. Shoot he can break Laura&#039;s jaw as far as I&#039;m concerned to keep his citizens safe. 43 is a bas president IMHO but Carter was worse.......... much worse if I had a choice between recklessness(Bush 43) or timidness (Carter) I&#039;d have to go with 43..............which is a shame because 43 isn&#039;t doing a lot of things right.</description>

		<description>steve, what is bringing on your hysterics this time.  Carter is going senile.

I notice Carter is silent on Eschelon that Clinton used to domestically spy.  Guess when it is a Democrat doing it, that it is ok with you, steve.</description>

		<description>bush broke the law, he said he broke the law and he said that he would continue to break the law. Carter, who should know, agreed with bush that he had broken the law. bush needs to be impeached for the good of the republic. Tommy nyc, you don&#039;t believe that your a Liberal do you? Peace</description>

		<description>If members of both political parties want to prevent the executive branch from using Constitutional powers, they must move to make an amendment to the Constitution. 
&#039;Legal&#039; is a decision left to the court, and may be determined by a single swing vote. The Constitution is a document that has been ratified by the people of the United States (not foreign opinion)whereby EVERY voter gets a chance to make his/her opinion known.
Congress cannot pass a law to make themselves more powerful.</description>
