Don't they realize we're pacifists?!"<BR/><BR/>My point is that WE DON'T TRUST these folk and we want them to obey the laws that are in place. You want to tap someone's phone - get a warrant. You break the law - you go to jail.<BR/><BR/>That's the point. Quakers <I>are</I> worried about being spied upon. Mennonites <I>are</I> worried about being spied on. Why? Because we <I>are being spied upon</I>!<BR/><BR/>Doesn't make us nutjobs or unpatriotic. In fact, in some circles, not believing in an expansive meddling gov't makes us conservative.<BR/><BR/>And how come you didn't print my other comment?Dan Trabuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303597141397042669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1139630110723133852006-02-10T22:55:00.000-05:002006-02-10T22:55:00.000-05:00Nice quote from Bush at the top.Here's a more memo...Nice quote from Bush at the top.<BR/><BR/>Here's a more memorable one: "Brownie, you're doin'a heckuva job!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1139629870400951632006-02-10T22:51:00.000-05:002006-02-10T22:51:00.000-05:00Don't miss this story about the Clinton's PI Pelli...Don't miss this story about the Clinton's PI Pellicano.<BR/>http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=48704<BR/>It seems Hillbillary may have some legal problems coming regarding spying, as if that is surprising.Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263194970690639096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1139628709991586822006-02-10T22:31:00.000-05:002006-02-10T22:31:00.000-05:00Dan, if 2 little old white haired Quakers are talk...Dan, if 2 little old white haired Quakers are talking about bombing DC, they should be monitored. Why should their age or religion be a factor? Should we be profiling instead? <BR/><BR/>If anyone, even Quakers, are plotting to murder Americans anywhere, whether in league with al-Qaida or anyone else, they should be arrested. <BR/><BR/>It appears, then, if the government is wiretapping even Quakers, they are doing what they are supposed to do, not discriminating. The NSA is an equal opportinuty investigator.<BR/><BR/>If your neighbor was plotting to kill you, wouldn't you want to know about it? <BR/><BR/>I would.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633208787250567256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1139622381236097932006-02-10T20:46:00.000-05:002006-02-10T20:46:00.000-05:00I'm pretty sure the Quakers aren't too worried abo...I'm pretty sure the Quakers aren't too worried about being tapped.<BR/><BR/>Those who should be worried, should be worried.<BR/><BR/>Trust me, I'm concerned about giving too much power to the Prez, because I know someday a Dem will reclaim the office......Hillary was dangerous with FBI files, imagine what she'd do with NSA powers.<BR/><BR/>That said, I'm still not too worried about it.<BR/><BR/>Hey Dan, how come the (D)'s are caving on the Patriot Act?

You are thin...No, Tim, The Quakers have telephones. You are thinking of the Amish. Thay are the ones that drive horses and buggies and use candles etc. But even a lot of them have moved on into the 20th century. I often see them at night around here driving their horse and buggies with electric headlights and taillights blazing.<BR/><BR/>I have searching google for this story about Quakers being wiretapped and I can't find it anywhere in any news sources. I have found references to it on Liberal blogs, but that's the only place.<BR/><BR/>Here is what the real storu appears to be:<BR/><BR/> (from MSNBC)[A]t a Quaker Meeting House in Lake Worth, Fla., a small group of activists met to plan a protest of military recruiting at local high schools. <BR/><BR/>The FBI infiltrated the meeting to make sure no usurrections were being planned. No wiretapping was done. And especially, not of the Quakers. the only Quaker connection was that the meeting was held in one of their churches.<BR/><BR/>Nope. no wiretapping of Quakers. As usual, the Left has spun a story to fit their agenda.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633208787250567256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1139591995396999032006-02-10T12:19:00.000-05:002006-02-10T12:19:00.000-05:00Mark,No, if we were truly wire-tapping Quakers... ...Mark,<BR/>No, if we were truly wire-tapping Quakers... they wouldn't care, because Quakers are typically conservative, and very religious...

I do know they and other anti-war groups have been investigated and infiltrated to be spied upon.<BR/><BR/>http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10454316/<BR/><BR/>The point is, we frankly don't trust this bunch in office to be given carte blanche powers with no checks and balances. <BR/><BR/>We're not even all opposed to wiretaps. We're opposed to wiretaps that are done without going through the process of getting a warrant. That's the law and we think it a wise one.Dan Trabuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303597141397042669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1139584479307610082006-02-10T10:14:00.000-05:002006-02-10T10:14:00.000-05:00I keep hearing Libs mention wire tapping Quakers b...I keep hearing Libs mention wire tapping Quakers but I haven't seen anything in the news about that. It would seem to me, since the media is so overwhelmingly Librally biased, that if that really happened, we wouldn't be hearing about anything else.
