does that make it right?
Then I apologies, I have always been informed that the NSA only brief the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Executive Branch, at no point did I know of any direct communication with the military unless through other channels.
The point comes down what did you expect of any of these agency's.
I will tell you something that happen to me after 911, I flew out of Boston the day after on a C130 there where some civilian contractors first res-ponders on the flight and one of them turned and stated to the other I cant believe we have solders patrolling the airport I found it ironic that with all the travel that I have done not to see some form of military or other para military unit such as intervention units patrolling the airports, there is no country in the world that does not have some sort of military patrolling an airport, like many the only thing I see is usually state police, but that is not even the point we must understand that agency's must keep up with technology good or bad, yes there is room for abuse but what are the alternatives. Laws have adopted to situations remember when there where no thing such as miranda rights or search warrants just walk right in and search your stuff would you like to go back to those days.
cmaracing,
No, I do not have or use a credit card, and don't use saving cards. If I don't have the cash to pay for it, I don't buy it. The last time I borrowed money was in 1979 for the house I still live in, and paid that off in 1989! I also don't care to be preached to, and questioned on the descisions I have made, good or bad! I am well aware of how governments and the economy works, and have watched the steady decline in my quality of life. Time marches on, and technology has dumbed down the system to where machines do all of our thinking now. Watch a young cashier try to make change without the register telling him/her how much. I really worry about the future with the growing dependency on people that think the Govt, needs to take care of them from cradle to grave, and doesn't realize that the Govt. gets it funding from the taxpaying citizens. The Constitution and Bill of Rights set the framework for the working and organization of this country, and the rights that are extended to All people.
Do not confuse a Right with a Priviledge, We have the Right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, education, health care, wealth, and other of what we need to live are not, in my opinion, Rights, they are priviledges to be earned by hard work, and diligence! I only hope that some of the next generation look to history and see the mistakes that were made, and the good that was done, and take the road less travelled, and regain the work ethics, and morals of my parents, and my generation, and work hard, and earn those benefits that a lot of us fought so hard to give them.

You have to be careful of us youngsters. We are always one out of control emotion away from a coup de tat.
LOL you make no sense, you say if you don't have the cash you don't buy it but then say you borrowed money for a house, its the double standard I see all around me, you come from a time where that house you bought was probably 50.000 today over 400.000 I'm very familiar with Vermont and especially the lake area...
But today 90% hotels wont take you without a credit card on record even if you pay cash, you are comparing a time when a handshake got a deal done to today That everything you do is a number.
Again those that preach are the ones who have a double standard, but again lack of reading makes it out that I'm a threat because I don't go around saying "In my day all it took was a Handshake". I'm an honest person friendly, yes opinionated but never preachy if any thing I'm open minded and on many of my posts I apologized if it seemed that I was being preachy but if you go back and read my posts I don't believe so, and take my word I don't need big government to take care of me 6 foot 300 pounds see my profile pic old fishing hand..
cmaracing, your remarks are in red:
Gun control
Most of you must have brain damage if you don't remember the Brady bill the most restrictive gun laws ever enacted...o yea By Ronald Reagan and his so heartfelt plea for gun control...
At the best you are wrong, at the worst you are lying -- the Brady bill was pushed by his wife, and has never been fully enacted, they just keep coming back for more. The worst gun bill was after Kennedy was shot. You say Ronald Reagan did a heartfelt plea for gun control, and that’s a lie. Perhaps that’s to harsh, at 40 something you are no doubt too young to remember, but Ronald Reagan, wearing his robe in the hospital, said on TV to the American people, paraphrased, “because I’ve been shot, don’t let that be a reason to enact more gun laws.” I know, because I watched the program and saw and heard him say it. .
You must never have used a fake drivers licence when you where younger. I never did, but you must have. I did lie about my age a time or two and got served in a couple of bars. Why would I need a fake driver’s license? There once was a time in this country when we were free and we didn’t have all the hen house rules and chicken crap regulations. You don’t have any idea what it’s like to be free. At 40 years old you have never experienced real freedom to be your own person and do what you want how you want, you have just been brain washed into thinking you are free, and just go along with your ID’s, and your permit fees, and taxes and asking permission for everything you do.
.
See, I do not believe in Big Brother or a national ID..... I am a Constitutionalist and a Libertarian... No where in our Constitution or it's Bill of Rights does it say we surrender any rights and freedoms for the illusion of safety....Our forefathers warned us about that 237 years ago.....
