As if on cue, Democrats are all shook up about the government compiling lists of 7, 8, 10 and 12 digit numbers. To make the Democrat position even more absurd, probably 98+% of the numbers are already made public in some directory somewhere. Look at the posts on Mon, Tues, Wed. The people who are upset about numbers lists are the ½ who don’t believe we are in a war.

Notice, the government is compiling lists of numbers, not names and/or locations. Yet Democrats are in a tizzy because they believe some fundamental right to privacy is being abridged by our government. Very odd. Nearly every form in existence today has a blank line (usually too short) next to the words Home Phone:____________. As noted above, 98+% of us voluntarily make our phone numbers a matter of public record. So it cannot be some great privacy violation that the government has complied those numbers.

So, if I can look your number up in the phone book and write it down even with your name beside it, I’m in no danger of running afoul of Democrats. But, it seems, if I start writing down random 10 digit numbers under your number – holy cow shred the constitution we have a problem. By the way these are the same geniuses that think it’s a good idea to shut the American people up 60 days before an election now worried about your rights. Also, remember this is the same government that has a list of all of our Social Security Numbers.

Far from being upset about the government “mining” for terrorist with nothing more than lists of numbers, I’m impressed.
