A definition and a few questions
Let us review the definition of the word international:
in-ter-na-tion-al
adj. Abbr. int. or intl.
1: Of, relating to, or involving two or more nations: an international commission; international affairs.
2: Extending across or transcending national boundaries: international fame.
n. International
Any of several socialist organizations of international scope formed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
inter-nation-ali-ty n.
inter-nation-al-ly adv.
international
adj 1: concerning or belonging to all or at least two or more nations; "international affairs"; "an international agreement"; "international waters" [ant: national] 2: from or between other countries; "external commerce"; "international trade"; "developing nations need outside help" [syn: external, outside(a)] n : any of several international socialist organizations [syn: International]
Now with this definition in mind, let me ask you three simple questions:
- Why do Old Media, the Democrat Party, and radical leftist groups refer to the National Security Agency's (NSA's) terrorism communication monitoring program as "domestic" surveillance?
- How can communications between one person in the United States and another outside the United States be considered domestic?
- Why is there such a collaborative, near-maniacal domestic and international effort underway to place the security and safety of the United States and its citizens at risk during a time of war?
We know that by definition, anything that crosses national boundaries is international and therefore cannot be domestic. Start paying attention to the rhetorical spin and outright disingenuousness of the Left and its media propaganda machine, because as this trumped-up drama unfolds I will be testing your cogency.
