Confused Americans for Truth - Looking at the Latest NSA Flap from the Perspective of a Spam Hater

by Ferdinand T Cat

Our good friend Bruno Behrend of Extreme Wisdom writes about a poll showing most people are more worried about terrorists than NSA access to phone records. This is a good thing, but we still have a big problem: the Democrats and the mainstream press keep blowing the lid off our prosecution of the War on Terror. This is serious, because secrecy is an important weapon when you're fighting bad guys

Most bloggers wage a constant battle against trackback spam. Here at Conservative Cat, we've gone off the air twice because trackback spammers flooded the server. Most blogs have anti-spam software designed to deal with the problem, but the spammers are constantly working to find ways around the software. Therefore, our most potent weapon is secrecy: we can stop the spam only until they figure out how we're doing it.

It is for this reason that I am concerned about the fact that people keep trying to publicize exactly how the Bush Administration is going about keeping tabs on terrorists.

There is, of course, a solution: the Bush Administration should agree to publicize all its covert anti-terror activities in exchange for a signed statement from the Democratic leadership-- Nancy Pelosi, Pat Leahy, and Arlen Specter-- that Congress won't hold it against the President should al-Qaeda make a successful strike on U.S. soil.

The Democrats see the privacy issue as an absolute; I see it as a trade-off. It seems to me that in the spirit of moderation and bi-partisanship they should have no objection to meeting me half-way.

Respectfully submitted,

Ferdinand T. Cat

I've never tryed to buy phone numbers or e-mail addresses online before, but I know that you can. It only seems logical that the next step for these "information brokers" would be to sell records along with your phone number. I'm almost positive someone has at least tried it before. So I'm not all that worried. .

Is it just me or does it seem like the Dems do everything within their power to help the enemies of America, and say it (their actions) are in the best interest of Americans.

I give you reducing the defense budget at every opportunity, winking at china as MIRV technology goes out the door, this great example you have of NSA... Abu Gharib, Gitmo.... etc.

Honestly, I think they see Bush as a sort of Twentieth-Century Emperor Palpatine in training, and they're doing anything they can to destroy him. It's just an accident that their methods are also hampering the war effort.

well, Palpatine was a bigot and a male chauvenist

of course, Democrats are quick to pass "hate speech" laws or laws forcing pharmisists to sell emergency contraception, so really it isn't so much "Democrats see privacy as a must" as "Democrats see privacy as a must as long as it benefits us"
