DATA BASES-CONTINUED

1)Well, there's media and there's the National Enquirer

There is no difference. Jason Blair, Dan the Man Rather, CNN protecting Saddam before the war in order to be able to keep their Baghdad office, Arqutette and the fake milk factory story, the cover up of the entire Clinton Era, there is no difference between the two whatso ever.

2)As for the police, its a crime fighting tool and neccessary for public safety, but for the Government to have groups on their list that no more pose a threat to national security than my cat, You said it with crime fighting tool. You miss the point, the President of the US takes an oath to protect the Constitution,

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States

In the Preamble to the Constitution is this:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.


Why are you afraid of a database of bad guys in posession of the US Government for the purpose of technically law enforcement, but when the States have the same thing, you are ok with it?

The databases that the police maintain are of peole who have been arrested for a crime. They actually did something to get arrested for so their names are added to that database. But for the government to have, and follow me here, book club membership list, church groups, civic groups, Boy Scout Groups, Girl Scout Groups, what danger to national security does these groups pose and why isn't the Pentagon following the guidelines and purging these groups from the list if they show no threat in 90 days???

We aren't living in the days of Joe McCarthy. Those who have treatened us come from a very identifiable group of people. Yes there are sympathizers to those groups. Heck, we've had radical groups long before 9/11. Remember Ruby Ridge? David Koresh? But those groups expessed their views and were pretty noticable. and if you had heard the lastest on the wire taps, they are no longer just concentrating on calls going in and out of our borders, but also calls within our borders. You could be talking to your brother and they would be listening in.

Our government is out of control.
