Whatever dude. Isn't Oral Roberts a preacher; would he speak like that? Figures you're a flaky hypocrite to take a nickname like that and then to swear like sinner. The fact is the 4th Ammendment of the U.S. Constitution states that one has the right to be secure in their homes and possessions from unreasonable searches. Domestic spying ignores the 4th Ammendment. Only the most rightwing Bush apoligist lawyer would agree that the President has some magical power to ignore the 4th Ammendment. Even Bush himself told an audience last year not to worrying about domestic spying because the government was required to get warrants. Now we know he was lying about that, he said as much himself. Are we really suppossed to trust this guy?!? The problem with your right wingers is that you are such statist and cult of personality types that the current adminstration can do anything and you will support it, even directly contradict the Constitution with programs like warrantless spying. As far as how an arab company being involved in our ports can be harmful to our security. Simple, they will know a lot more about our security practices and port procedures than an outsider and since the UAE has consorted with terrorists like Osama Bin Laden in the past, we are putting our selves at an UNECESSARY risk by giving them that knowledge. Why should we even open the door a crack to them?!? It is supposedly about National Security. Apparently not, because when confronted with a clear National Security issue Bush and his right wing apoligists are opening us up to a security threat. Next time we get hit, we'll look back on this Tom Foolery and thank all you right wingers who assurred us there was nothing to worry about our ports being secured by an Arab firm. What a stupid way to run a country.
