Again the Democrats fold like lawn chairs. How can they let George Bush beat and out smart them on every aspect of the war on terror. They have been trying to convince evryone the Bush is an evil dumb man but he keeps defeating them when push comes to shove. How can the left be outsmarted every time by the idiot Bush?

After nearly two years of hysterical letter writing, protests, threats, and a whole lot of over-the-top rhetoric, the far-left has once again been delivered a crushing defeat.

Much to the chagrin of the shrill lefty blogs, the FISA reform legislation finally passed with a vote of 69-28. What really adds insult to injury in liberal land is that the messiah himself, Barack Obama, voted in favor of the legislation.

As with every other anti-terror issue that has been passed, the left is declaring this a very dark day. For liberals, the idea that no one will go to prison for listening to terrorists or suspected terrorists without a warrant is truly horrifying.

The Nutroots are already planning revenge against any Democrat who dared to allow the eavesdropping on terrorists.

It’s really pathetic that some people in America are willing to do almost anything to prevent the government from having all the tools it needs to protect us. I could care less if the feds intercept my email or listen to my cell phone conversations. Of course this bill doesn’t allow any of that, but even if it did I wouldn’t care.

The one part of the FISA bill that really got left-wingers fired up was the “retroactive immunity” provision which protected the telecom companies from the ACLU. Those companies agreed to help the NSA after 9/11 and were told they weren’t breaking the law. It’s only right that the government live up to that promise, and not let far-left thugs sue them into financial ruin.
