as i said last night, this controversy is helping anti-christian forces in the u.s.a. the secular progressive movement seizes upon stuff like this to portray christians as cruel fanatics. people only interested in imposing their point of view on the nation. i don't know mr. robertson, but i believe he is acting according to his conscience. but, in the process, is he actually hurting his own cause. having written a book about jesus, i know this much: he was adamantly against bad behavior that injures other people e would not condemn another woman in his presence who was adult truss. time and time again the nazarene persuaded folks that his way of living was worthy because it was so compassionate. homosexual americans should not be demonized just like devout christians should not be demonized and people have strong beliefs should understand the big picture. portraying gay americans as sinners gives license to harm them. it's insulting and demeaning. jesus would persuade not condemn. there has been no one more involved in protecting judeo-christian tradition in america tha

a few observations on the u.s.a. freedom act that has been submitted. sections 101 and 201 would change the standards to obtain business records and pen trap and trace devices to a connection -- to an agent of a foreign power. they add a material requirement. it is to eliminate the meta data program. but the proposed changes would have far more reaching consequences for traditional day-to-day investigations is. the standards are currently aliped on the national security side in the criminal context which operate on a relevant standard. by raising the standard these would render these techniques nearly useless in the early stages of an investigation when they are most useful. these changes would return us to the days prior to september 11 when it was hard tore conduct a national security or international terrorism investigation than it was to conduct an everyday drug or fraud case. similarly section 501 would teamed collection of statutory security letters by requiring the requested letters to have a connection to a foreign power this. would have a simila

but the "u.s.a. today" in 2006 had reported that there was some kind of large scale collection of phone records happening. that was sort of overshadowed by the big warrantless wiretapping that was happening at the time. i think again, maybe people may have assumed that that had gone by the way side as some of the illegal and immediate post-9/11 stuff was moved under by the authorities. but no, absolutely. a lot of this is stuff we wouldn't know about otherwise. we saw president obama's press conference you referred to saying well, it was important that we have this debate, and indeed, you see now, big changes need to be made. a court says actually some of the stuff maybe wasn't legal after all. could have had the debate some other way. you want to believe him. you want to believe that we can talk about these things and regulate our national security apparatus without classified leaks being part of it, but, you know, how else were we going to have this debate? is there any evidence that this is a debat
