The president is spying on us
Again, the parallels between the current
administration and communist-era Russia are almost frightening
So the administration has been using the guise of
the war on terror to spy on its own citizens. Is anyone surprised by this? This
is exactly what everyone who was actually paying attention to the Patriot Act
language said was going to happen. Americans said they'd be willing to give up
some civil liberties in order to be safe. Well, now you've given up your
liberties and you aren't any safer. Feeling cheated yet? You should be. What is
actually interesting when you get into the details, is that this spying might
have even been illegal within the rubric of the wiretapping
laws.
It's time once again for me to
ask for a real congressional investigation, and for the Republicans to once
again decide that, as President, cheating on your wife is worth of a special
prosecutor and hundreds of hours of discussion, but lying to the American
people, imprisoning American citizens for months without charges, torturing
foreigners, spying on the American people and basically acting more like a
dictator than a representative of a Democracy is
A-OK.
The crazy-ass thing is that after
getting caught at it, he says he's going to keep doing it and that disclosing it
was helping the enemy. These people make me insane. Bush wants to be the
national father figure, but he's the idiot dad with a drinking problem that says
way too often "do what I say, not what I do." The enemy, the enemy, doubting the
administration is supporting the enemy, questioning the administration is giving
aid and comfort to the enemy. Cheney says "debate is good, discussion is good"
while simultaneously slamming every lawmaker who steps forward to do just
that.
"It was a shameful act for
someone to disclose this important program in a time of war. The fact that we're
discussing this program is discussing the enemy." - President
Bush
Get this George, you work for the
American people. You work for us and we'll discuss whatever we want, whenever we
want, in whatever medium or venue that we wish until you just declare yourself
dictator and we get busy mobilizing against
you.
