The NSA is Watching You

For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer – Romans 13:4

Hoguester asked this morning if anyone is bothered by the Federal government, specifically the National Security Agency (NSA), eavesdropping on phone calls, e-mails, etc. making contact with foreign sources. Apparently the MSM thinks “Average American” is weally, weally, weally concerned about this and needs counseling or a tilt-nipple session to sooth their fears that Big Brother (aka Dubya) is watching what they are doing on the couch through their widescreen plasma TVs. So I, Bat Guano (not my real name, on a need-to-know basis, if I told ya, I’d havta kill ya), being of sound averageness, axed myself if I was bothered by the NSA listening in on Americans trading (not kitchen) recipes with Osama Bin Laden and friends.

No, I’m not.

Actually I would be losing trust in George Bush as a competent Commander-in-Chief if he hadn’t been doing things like this after 9/11 to hunt down bad guys and kill them – or at least kill their plans. Naturally all the slippery slope arguments are coming out this is a return to the bad ole Nixon days of dirty tricks and RF’ing enemies using the all-knowing, all-powerful resources of the guv-mint. The difference here, and why that comparison is an apple to today’s orange, is there was not a shadowy organization with the stated intent to kill as many of us in the most gruesome ways possible. There was the Viet-Cong and the NVA who wanted control of a small country in south east Asia, but were they lobbing airplanes at our skyscrapers, or collecting parts for dirty bombs, or blowing up commuter trains full of people who probably hadn’t given any thought at all on those morning(s) on how to stick it to the Muslims? No.

Our enemy today is evil embodied. These people are not “freedom fighters.” They don’t want freedom for anybody. I sincerely hope any cells of these bastards have been dropped down mineshafts upon discovery to avoid the usual claptrap that would accompany very public trials. I want them destroyed and I don’t give two hoots in hell about hearing their views, nor do I care to hear any multiculturalist crap about how their worldview is just as important as ours and we should seek to understand their views – meaning our views are wrong, ALWAYS.

Do we need to trust our guv-mint in a situation like this? Yes, we do. The “Ruler” can be and must be an “angel of wrath” when times warrant such. Liberals wanting nothing but a wet nurse style guv-mint and ruler will always screech uncontrollably, gnash their teeth, and soil themselves when a strong ruler unafraid of wielding the sword of the established authority sits in the Oval Office. Can the ruler lose the trust of God Who established him? Yes, absolutely. The Old Testament is rife with examples, which is why the Ruler must know his place with respect to the One who established him. Would I trust the ACLU to handle this situation correctly? No I would not. The ACLU and company have raised the Law to the status of an Idol, thus are blinded to its servant purpose. The Law is the tool by which punishment is brought to wrongdoers. To think it can cure or prevent human evil is fantasy. Do I trust George Bush (e.g. the “ruler” subject of Romans 13) to kill the evil that seeks to kill me and mine? From what I know about him, yes I do.
