I don’t know about you but it scares the crap out of me that the government of the United States was able to get away with doing this. A basic protection guaranteed in the Bill of Rights was being simply ignored. Think about it. You, an American citizen could be arrested and kept in prison for the rest of your life without ever having the benefit of a trial!
“The most worrying aspect is that this creates a principle of permission basically to do certain activities and it can be used to restrict activities,” he said. “It’s like a national ID system without the card.”

Syria: Attack on military site was a ‘declaration of war’ by Israel – CNN.com.
Americans must stop acting as if Israel is doing anything except fighting for its life. Over the years their government has learned how to handle these situations. Unlike the US, they aren’t big or strong enough to come out and say what they’ve done, but there’s little question that they did this to destroy WMD’s coming from Iran into the hands of Hezbollah.
Israel’s very existence depends upon keeping their terrorist neighbors from gaining weapons that can reach their capital. Lebanon is the only country in the region willing to openly terrorize Israel, so they get support from all the other nations like Iran not ballsy enough to do it themselves. While Israel is attacked, anti-semitic nations and organizations run by them like the UN condemn Israel for preemptive strikes on weapons destined for their destruction. Any other nation in the world would be seen as within its bounds doing exactly the same thing, but since it’s Israel it’s condemned.
I don’t get how Jews can continue to support Obama and his Democrat party while this goes on. It is clear that Obama despises Israel as much as Iran does, but he has to keep support for his party so he won’t come right out and say it. Any look at his policies and reaction to happenings in the region will tell you what you need to know about who he supports. I have no idea what his personal religious beliefs are, but they certainly seem to be closer to that of Islamic anti-Semites than Christians.

More inconvenient truths for Americans.
Somehow the facts don’t get reported in the news.
The government counts as unemployed only those who are actively looking for new jobs. As people have given up, the unemployment rate has declined – not because more people are working, but because more people have stopped looking for work.
I see a lot of posts about the “fearless” first responders/police/military/etc. rushing to do their job whether it’s in Boston or Afghanistan. I don’t honestly think there’s a such thing as fearless for a sane person. Bravery is about not letting the fear that is clearly present keep you from doing what you know is right. What you know that someone else would do for you if the roles were reversed. That’s what so awesome about bravery. The fear is there. The choice to do what needs to be done anyway is what shows your character and what makes you a person worth admiring.
Saudi National Deportation: American People Must Demand the Full Story.
I’m usually not one to believe most of this stuff, but there seems to be too much corroboration to ignore in this case. Yet again, we are protecting the interests of Saudis over Americans. I wonder why.
