C-Span Callers Overwhelmingly Anti-bu$h Spying

[Dinger]

I just got home, and the callers are NOT happy with this mess at all! And it is crossing party lines!

1. I know-that was great...just one Freeper

4. amazing wasn't he?

1. He sounded like one of the hicks from Deliverance.
2. He yammered something about how he lived in fear of waking up one day to find he was being attacked by terrorists.

While I agree with the general sentiment that we prevent terrorists from ever getting another foothold on foreign soil, he made it sound like one day terrorists were going to lunge at him from his bedroom closet or something.

It just sounded... I dunno, PARANOID?

5. This is straight from the anti-Muslim propaganda

That is coming from sites like this:

http://www.islamreview.com/articles/americafall.shtml

Here is a sample of some of the more ludicrous warning signs so you can tell when America has "fallen" to Islam:

Islamic so-called holy days will be legitimatized as holidays necessitating celebration and days off from work throughout the nation

Islamic symbols will decorate our stamps..

Islamic authors will become popular in "reading America."

Peace themes focusing on Islamic actors will be placed in television sitcoms.

TV series such as "Sleeper Cells" will become passe and regarded as out of date and out of fact.

Legislation will be passed stating that anything truthfully negative about Islam will be regarded as a "hate crime."

It is total fearmongering. You know what I've noticed about totalitarianists? They are completely unoriginal. This tract I linked to above sounds just like the Klan pamphlet some pig handed me when I was a kid.

Pretty soon we'll all be wearing Burkas and bowing to Mecca, dontcha know, if we don't let King George do what he wants.
