'…And In This Corner...'


from wsj.com: 'Federal Appeals Court Questions Challenge to NSA Phone Surveillance' - Jacob Gershman - Nov. 4

"A federal trial judge late last year dropped a bombshell of a ruling when he declared that the National Security Agency’s bulk phone-surveillance program “almost certainly” violates the Constitution.

"Larry Klayman, the conservative legal activist who brought the lawsuit, called his victory “the most significant ruling in the history of public-interest law.” Now, Mr. Klayman is back in federal court for the next round of the case.
"On Tuesday, a panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit heard arguments on whether the NSA’s surveillance of millions of Americans’ phone records violates the Constitution’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures…"

If I didn't care so much
About this country,
                 what 
          is going on 
                 in it
Wouldn't matter so much
To me.  
            The matter, of
The Left wing of
The Democrat Party
                wanting
                to bring
       the nation
                to
Its knees,
        in order to 
        build their
        socialist 
        paradise
On the ruins.

                     Not
On my watch, you won't.
For, your Way
        is the Way
        of the Dark

        forces;
        the Way that

        says that
         the ends
         justify
         the means.
         Right.
Like Hitler.  And Stalin. 
And Mao. 
                 How
Inappropriate
Can your Way
Be, in the grander
               scheme
Of things…
               For me
I want to see
         The People
          rise
To the occasion;
       not wallow
       in it, 
               and
       get lost
       in it.
     And that's
                my
Bottom line.
And the same
              goes
For the fascists
       in the other
       corner.
       The Way
       to go
       is neither
       Left
       nor Right.
              But
              Up
       into
       the Light
       of a New Day
       dawning
As we speak.
