The only real basis for “fear” here is the scare tactics being perpetuated by the Times
But in the next paragraph there is this veiled idea by Hoekstra
First, the legislation was intended to address significant and substantial intelligence gaps that have arisen at a time of enhanced threat of terrorist attack on the United States. The need for the bill was urgent and obvious.
I'm sorry, no one told me to change my Crayola Terror-Meter up to red. I could swear this would be considered "fear mongering". Wait, no, that must be a media source that doesn't agree with you, right?
It is unfortunate that you choose to compound those difficulties with further politicization, fear-mongering, and the suggestion that we simply dismiss the increased threats to American citizens at home and abroad.
Right.
Politicizing- Here's Pete's chance to speak his piece on the SCHIP bill.
Hmm...all he talks about is FISA.
Or the Implementing the 9/11 Commission Bill.
FISA.
Responsible Redeployment From Iraq Act?
FISA... with a heapin' helpin' of radical jihadists thrown in just for good measure.
Hoekstra can spin it any way he wants. We dismiss the increased threats. We don't believe that "radical jihadists" really hate us and want to attack us. I can go on, and on, and on. Just because Hoekstra, Bush or any other neo-con hack keeps pissing in your ears the same worn out catch phrases doesn't mean they are right. It just means they really want something.
Like your civil liberties. For starters...

Right. They are probably under my bed right now.
I think the second part is a bit much don't you? I have never said a single word badly about the men and women serving our country. They are doing a job. It's not their choice. And just an update.. they fight for our freedom of speech and every other civil right that we have. These posts were all from the same day that you have put here. After today your posts will be deleted unless you can post substantiated ideas and not attack others for their views.
