Why isn't It Okay Now?

Let's look at the big picture on the NSA intercepts for just a bit. - The question that I have is why are we discussing the legality of this process in the first place? The Clinton administration did this very thing in the nineties when they kicked in the door of the CIA spy Hiss without a warrant! The deputy Attorney General, in the Janet Reno Justice Department, testified in congress that it was necessary for national security and everybody said okay. Hugs and kisses all around. Clinton used it also to gather information on his Republican rivals. Nobody cared.

Now it's not okay. Why is that? Even Republicans are starting to have second thoughts about the program. Why is this not a cut and dried operation to help us stop terrorist from killing us?

With all of the past history that is available to everyone, as one considers all of the people and departments that were involved in such operations for the past eight years, even the conservatives start to whine that maybe they should take another look at this before the media starts to attack them for supporting the President. They will be attacked by the media for wanting to protect the country? Why is that?

What has changed since President Bush came into office? Why all of a sudden do we need an investigation? Why do some Democrats see this as an impeachable offense? The Democrats say this is totally illegal and a breech of faith with the American people. Why do the liberals continue with this rant even in the face of testimony given by Attorney General Gonzales stating that it was within the law and the limits of the Constitution. He stated that past Presidents have used this same program. Of course, the good Senators setting on this investigative panel know this as well, but it doesn't matter.

Nobody said a word when Clinton did it. I wonder why nobody said a word when Janet Reno's storm troops kicked in the door of those people that were taking care of that Cuban kid some years ago without a warrant. Reno's thugs sent the kid packing back to the 'workers paradise' and Fidel Castro. Good Lord!!

Where was the out cry? Where were the outraged Senators demanding investigations? Maybe the good Senators really don't care what happens to the country as long as they can have the spot light for a little while. If anything goes wrong, they always know they can blame it on Bush. No matter how negligent the good Senators are, the media will always be waiting to help kick a good man when he's down.

When the Democrats and the media are all singing from the same sheet of music, the harmony is to die for. Now that the Democrats are out of power, they still all sing off the same sheet of music, only now the words are different.

Hey, the liberal puppet masters have always written the score for the Democrats, and they know what strings to pull to get the right tune.
