Well, the usual suspects—Jean Fraud sKerry, Dianne Feinstein, Teddy “Swimmer” Kennedy and all the denisens of Demoncrappic Underpants and the like are baying at the moon over Michael Hayden’s nomination to head the CIA, especially given his involvement with the electronic surveillance programs run by one of their fav boogymen, the NSA.
And they’re so completely removed from reality that they not only do not see (or are unwilling to admit) that not only are the ESP (yeh, I like that acronym for “electronic surveillance programs”) perfectly within legal boundaries (“Oh,” but they twitter, “they could be abused!” Yeh, if a Clintoon were back in office… ) but also eminently sensible given the nature of terrorist threats against the U.S.
No, they even bury their heads in the sand and ignore the penultimate bellwether (only Mass Media Podpeople carry a bigger stick with these folks) a politician *spit* must follow: the polls. Why, even the D.C. commie rag, the Washington Post, ran results of a poll it admitted revealed…
…that 63 percent of Americans said they found the NSA program to be an acceptable way to investigate terrorism, including 44 percent who strongly endorsed the effort. Another 35 percent said the program was unacceptable, which included 24 percent who strongly objected to it.
A slightly larger majority–66 percent–said they would not be bothered if NSA collected records of personal calls they had made, the poll found.
Even when it’s written clearly, “Mene, Mene Tekel Upharsin,” (or perhaps instead, “The tree of liberty must from time to time be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots”), politicians, greedy for a little face time in venues controlled by Mass Media Podpeople, have to spout inanities about invasion of privacy.
Well, those critters had better remember: as they posture and preen and babble vicious nonsense, whether at or leading up to the Michael Hayden’s nomination hearings or at any other time, we are watching them, and their day of judgement will come. Either at the polling booth or as they catch a one-way bus to hell at the end of their tenure in this life.
Just sayin’…
