civil collection contend country defenders failed identify liberties nsa opponents program thwarted vocal
Opponents of civil liberties contend the NSA data collection has made our country more safe, but even the most vocal defenders of the program have failed to identify a single thwarted plot.
business citizens country damn defend gather intelligence lies none phone records trust
To defend our country we need to gather intelligence on the enemy, but when the intelligence lies to Congress, how are we to trust them? The phone records of law abiding citizens are none of their damn business.
close country due nsa oversight programs safe suspected terrorists watch
The NSA should keep close watch on suspected terrorists to keep our country safe - through programs permitting due process, the naming of a suspect, and oversight by an accountable court.
country tired play
I'll tell you what a weakness is of this country [the USA]: there are a lot of people who are sick and tired because Washington does not play by the same rules that the American people have to play by.
country people said
We have 11 million people said to be in our country illegally. Forty percent of them are said to have overstayed their visa. Do we know where they are?
country thinking flags
I think we ought to quit sending [help] to countries that burn our flag.
country should-have rights
People who want to come to this country don't have constitutional rights. Once they get here, they do. But coming here is not a constitutional right. So with do, as a nation, have the ability and should have the ability to decide who comes here and when they come here.
country legislation right-now
I've introduced legislation to say, "For right now, let's stop it," from about 34 countries.
country fashion phones
The government has investigated our program of collecting through a generalized fashion, everyone's phone records in the country. And they found that no terrorist case has been thwarted through this.
country mistake thinking
I would have handled it differently than the mayor of Baltimore, that's for sure. I think it's a mistake to say, hey, guys, you can pillage the city for a while and we'll let that go, and we'll be sort of standing back. I think it's also important to know some of the underlying causes of why there's unease in our country.
country southern needs
We still need to secure our southern border. The other thing I would say is we need to secure who visits us in the country.
country thinking nsa
We have to decide whether our fear is going to get the better of us. Once upon a time we had a standard in our country that was 'innocent until proven guilty.' We've given up on so much. Now, people are talking about a standard that is 'if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.' Think about it. Is that the standard we're willing to live under?
country pennies flags
I say not one penny more to countries that are burning our flag.
country thinking adequate
I don't think we're doing an adequate vetting process of those who are coming to our country.
