The FISA Amendment Act
« on: September 16, 2012, 03:19:12 PM »

Well! They extended the FISA Amendment Act! The one signed into law by GW, Giving the NSA the power to eavesdrop on us without warrants. The vote was 301 to 118. Only 7 Republicans voted against .111 Democrats.I find it hard to believe the party I once supported, would do this to us :-[
We have reached the point that Democrats are bigger defenders of the Constitution than Republicans.

the right/left yardstick is a French Revolution-born human measure. It reflects the political spectrum, which is determined by the people’s range of beliefs. Christians, however (and everyone, in fact), should make Truth their yardstick. This inerrant guide doesn’t compromise and build consensus, either; it’s not a politician. It dictates where reality lies. And in a civilization claiming 2+2=5, it’s with the “extremist” who insists it’s 4. For God’s realism so often is man’s radicalism.
