Privacy versus Security Explained
Subject: Political Science Paper 4
Lately the left, the Democrats, certain left celebrities, ultra liberal newspaper reporters and
editors and network news reporters and commentators are ranting and raving about how
President Bush has illegally removed our right to privacy by signing an Executive Order
allowing the National Security Agency to intercept certain communications between people
of interest, within the us , and people in certain other countries. Many of the foregoing are
even saying that the President should be impeached. Some are comparing him to Nixon or
worse.
Do these people hate President Bush such tons that, they're willing to sacrifice the safety and
possibly the lives of USA citizens, their loved ones or even themselves to ruin the President?
Are they so hungry for power that they could endanger the people of this country so on
realize a political advantage over the Republican Party? Can they be so naive on believe that
what they're doing isn't potentially harmful to this country? Do they even care if they're
harming this country? Do they really believe that their right to telephone privacy is more
important than our right to life? Are they dumb enough to really believe that the President
broke the law?
Personally, I don't believe that the President did anything illegal, however, if he did, then I
say, many thanks President Bush, for putting the lives of my loved ones before other
considerations. After all, what good is privacy if you are not alive to enjoy it.
I value my privacy (I don't even like having my picture taken.), but I value the lives of my
friends and loved ones more. I value my privacy (I don't even wish to be in crowded places.),
but I value the continued existence of this country and type of state more. I’d give my life for
my wife and sons. could also be a possible threat to my privacy worth quite my life.
