Heritage Bozos blink - take misleading banner off website.

The resident nutbars at The Heritage Foundation took it down, but for awhile they put up this clock:



The intent, of course is keep the the fear level high. Afterall, when you are afraid, you'll give them anything.

While their post should have called it the Protect America Act or PAA rather than FISA, it was additionally flawed in that there is no mention of the offer extended by the majority to extend the Act for 30 days.

The President and his stooges suggest we are now in iminent danger because of this lapse. If that were true, why does he hate America so much he would let it expire? Or, is it really true? How can anyone believe these people anymore?

Bush Says Congress Putting US in Danger


Is there anyone left that really believes this guy anymore?

By PAMELA HESS

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush said Friday that "our country is in more danger of an attack" because of Congress' failure to extend a law that makes it easier for the government to spy on foreign phone calls and e-mails that pass through the United States.

Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney met with Republican congressional leaders in the Oval Office to discuss the impasse with the Democratic-led House. Lawmakers left Thursday for a 12-day recess without acting on the law, which expires at midnight Saturday. The president said Congress should act quickly on the measure as soon as lawmakers return.

Bush argues that without the extension, the intelligence community will not have the tools they need to protect the nation from terrorism. Democrats, equally adamant, accuse the president of fear-mongering and say he has the authority he needs to intercept terrorist communications, even if the law expires.

[insert knee-jerk fear statement here]
"American citizens must understand, clearly understand that there's still a threat on the homeland. There's still an enemy which would like to do us harm," Bush said. "We've got to give our professionals the tools they need, to be able to figure out what the enemy is up to so we can stop it."

"By blocking this piece of legislation, our country is more in danger of an attack," he said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi maintains the congressional majority is simply trying to balance concerns about civil liberties against the government's spy powers, and needs time to do it.
