Once again, the Left is out of touch and living in a pre-9/11 fantasy.
Rasmussen Reports offers some interesting figures on the "domestic spying" issue, very interesting.
As always, I must add my qualification that I believe polls reveal more about the creators of the survey than its participants. Polls can be constructed to "discover" the desired results.
However, even taking that into consideration, this new poll from Rasmussen will most likely give the foaming at the mouth Dems and their lib mainstream media mouthpieces pause.
Sixty-four percent (64%) of Americans believe the National Security Agency (NSA) should be allowed to intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects in other countries and people living in the United States. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 23% disagree.
Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Americans say they are following the NSA story somewhat or very closely.
Just 26% believe President Bush is the first to authorize a program like the one currently in the news. Forty-eight percent (48%) say he is not while 26% are not sure.
Eighty-one percent (81%) of Republicans believe the NSA should be allowed to listen in on conversations between terror suspects and people living in the United States. That view is shared by 51% of Democrats and 57% of those not affiliated with either major political party.
I think most Americans are not critical of the Bush Adminstration's tactics for combatting terror because they realize that their personal privacy is not at risk. They know themselves to be loyal Americans and, as a result, not targets of terrorism investigations.
Even the majority of Dems support what the Bush Administration has done in this case. Even they have an inkling of exceptions regarding privacy that may need to be made in the name national security.
It appears that Americans get what the Leftists don't.
Unlike those on the far radical Left, Americans know that the Bush Administration does not have a devious plan to erode the civil liberties of citizens. It's about safety.
IT'S THE TERRORISTS, STUPID!

That "bunch of insignificant bandits hiding out in caves a half a world away" have managed to kill thousands of innocent people around the world.
when you say thousands - let's recall that what you really mean is 2 or 3. we've killed that many of our own people in invading iraq.
as for the insults, that i write like a high schooler, i don't answer insults with insults, neither would the Christ.
What I REALLY mean is all the lives around the world that have been snuffed out by members of al Qaeda.
Three thousand died here on 9/11. You need to tally in the deaths of innocents resulting from terrorist attacks by Islamic fundamentalists for decades.
Regarding alleged insults--
You jumped to the conclusion that I was referring to your writing style that led me to believe you are a high schooler. That was an illogical leap. That was your mistake.
I think it's impolite to critique others' writing abilities. I was referring to your style -- your very sudden appearance and decision to be a squatter on my blog.
Your persistence here is very revealing. That's not an insult. It's an observation.
Besides, I don't think attending high school should be viewed as a negative. Do you? It's a step on the road to adulthood.
By the way, you have left some very insulting comments on my blog. Spare me the hypocrisy.
Remember, I have moderation power here.
Have a nice day! :)
Nice picture, traitor.
If you believe in illegal wiretaps go to North Korea.
Traitor?
What?
