"Don't Worry, Be Happy"

Oliver North:

In 1988, singer and songwriter Bobby McFerrin penned a Grammy-winning tune, "Don't Worry, Be Happy." When it comes to collecting intelligence on America's enemies, McFerrin's pleasant a cappella song is now the theme song for Democrats in the House of Representatives.

On Feb. 14, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi decided to send the members of the House home on vacation instead of having them vote on extending the Protect America Act, a measure that already had passed in the U.S. Senate 68-29. The bill, among other things, provides civil immunity for private companies that assist U.S. intelligence agencies in intercepting terrorist communications to, from or through the United States. With the House adjourned, the PAA expired -- and Americans became instantly more vulnerable.

...

John Cornyn also writes about the importance of passing the intelligence bill. The conduct of the Democrats is disgraceful. Their playing chicken with national security in order to benefit the trial lawyers should be a national scandal. Unfortunately it will not be unless we suffer another attack that would have been prevented if we had been listening to the enemy's communications. It should definitely be an issue in November.
