Not the end of the world, EURO. Are you aware that we had a president

citizens? Somehow our democracy managed to survive Lincoln and FDR.  I
am sure our democracy will continue to surpass what passes for freedom
of speech and the press in Europe and the UK.

OK, you have produced your little rant against Europe and the UK,
countries I am sure you are quite ignorant about as far as freedom of
speech and the press is concerned. Now, calm down, and think about
this:

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary
safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

1759

And next time to pick up the phone, say hello to Big Brother.

If Al Qaeda calls or e-mails someone in the US, I want the NSA to
listen in, in fact I insist that they listen in.




For Christ's sake. We are talking about WARRENTLESS spying 

The president clearly has the authority and is continuing to use it.
