Bush Pleads "Take Bin Laden Seriously"

Just be sure that your unwillingness does not interfere with the protection of my family and friends.

McGentrix old buddy take solace and be secure in the fact that I have the same concern for you and yours that you have for me and mine :wink:

...and the rest of us can go to hell, apparently.

I'm sure McG considers us all his friends.

yeah.... me too. I'm sure of it.

McG~
Sorry about the use of the third person.
I should have addressed that to you.

I worry more about falling into an open manhole than I do about Osama Bin Laden.

If my family and friends are protected, that kind of assures your own protection.

I don't fall for the BS "If one person's freedoms are lost, then all of our freedoms are lost", because that is what it is, BS.

I have no qualms what so ever about the NSA listening in on international phone calls. I do not consider telephone calls to be part of ones privacy as it involves 2 parties and crosses international boundaries.

I do have a line of demarcation though. I just don't believe it to be as wide as others.

Ironic that most of the lilly-livered cowards who cower live in places that are not threatened while those who live in real world class cities that are the most threatened are the least worried.

McGentrix, why do you hate America? Why do you hate our freedom?

Says the thing with the signature that says "Well I hate America Louis. I hate this country. It's just big ideas and stories and people dying, and people like you. The white cracker who wrote the national anthem knew what he was doing. He set the word free to a note so high nobody can reach it."

Crawl back into your hole before you need to start yet another alias.

Or what noble sir McGentrix, defender of the faith, whose wrath fills lesser men with fear? poser....

I had a hunch you feared me Bear.

I guess you missed the poser part...

I wanna get you two together in pie factory.

there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that McG would destroy me in a pie eating contest.....

So, one person's protection is everyone's protection, but one person's lost freedoms are ... just his loss? Curious.



Well, the thing about conversations is they require two people, otherwise they'd just be thoughts, and the government doesn't yet have the technology to eavesdrop on those. Courts have held that telephone conversations qualify as personal items protected against unreasonable search. The fact that a conversation crosses international boundaries doesn't change my right to be secure in my private conversations. I'm guessing you can count the number of international phone calls you've made in the last year on one hand, hence your lack of concern.



I'd love to know where that line is for you. What would be the one thing that this admin could do in the name of fighting terrorism that would be too much for even you?

sure there is... anything that effected him or his in a way he didnt like....

MgC I dedicate this to you.

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. "What food might this contain?" The mouse
wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning:
"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr.
Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no
consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in
the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but
there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my
prayers."

The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the
house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin
off my nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and
dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house
like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness,
she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the
trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the
hospital, and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to
sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the
pig.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came
for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great
sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem
and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is
threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an
eye out for one another and make an extra effort to
encourage one another.

AU:

If you did all that for McG, the effort was lost! I however, get the point and agree with you!
