Give Me Gliberty or Give Me a Fucking Break...
Oh Lord, kids!
There's a foul stench coming out of Washington, D.C. these days -- and I have to admit that I'm increasingly alarmed by what I'm reading.
First up: The U.S. is selling $4.6 billion in weapons to Saudi Arabia. Draw your own conclusions on that matter.
Secondly: The FBI wants increased surveillance of your private telephone conversations.
Third: The House of Representatives passed the DOPA bill on Friday that the American Library Association calls hard-core, full-on censorship of the public's right to information. This measure could allow the feds to shut down public access to blogs, wikis, instant messaging and the like.
Fourth: The government is one step closer to making "potential enemies of the state" disappear -- and there's not a damn thing you can do about it once they arrest you. There's no presenting evidence on your own behalf, if the government asserts that you’re a big bad boogey man. All they’ll need to look you up is a bit of hearsay, innuendo or “suspicious behavior”. If this measure passes soon, we can look for old school witch hunts to put us in the Halloween spirit.
Fifth: Remember Russell Tice, the NSA officer who revealed our government was engaged in a warrantless wiretapping program, affecting millions of innocent Americans? Well....his ass has been subpoenaed by the Feds for possible misconduct. Leaking information about unconstitutional misconduct is a crime these days. Watergate schmartergate....
Sixth: Speaking of misconduct, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is worried that members of the current administration may be tried as war criminals at a future point. What to do? Draft legislation to exempt them from being prosecuted!
Oh! I forgot Karl Rove's weekend rant that journalists are the problem with America.
I wonder if the folks at the New York Times and Washington Post are intimidated by the never-ending barrage of threats and accusations that issue from the Bush administration on a daily basis?
It's got to be nerve-wracking as the situation in the Middle East gets messier and more and more fingers point to Washington.
That's all I have to share at this point -- these antics and the culture of fear they create is dismal and depressing. I just want to eat some cheese, watch some classic TV (featuring Nell Carter) and pretend, at least for a while, that all’s well with America.
I know that's not particularly poignant, but it's the truth.
Time has shown that the easiest way to control bad press is to stop the presses.
I can't help but wonder if that day will be sooner than any of us can imagine.
Fuck it all, I picked a great time to give up cigs.
Oh well, at least my bunker is coming together!
We've got Diet Coke stored just for you Brother Rob...just bring a baseball bat and prepare for the end of days!
I started hearing about the phone tapping on Democracy Now and started to get worried then..................
I'm disturbed by our lack of action.
Everything is at such a fevered pitch right now. The world seems totally insane.
Every day I fear our government more and more. It is surreal.
It's their world, we're just living in it.
This is all insanity. Reminiscent of the McCarthy Era in the 50s. Although, the warplanes are going to Sunni Saudi Arabia, I imagine in an effort to counterbalance Shia Iran. We shouldn't be involved, that place is a goddamn tinderbox. Can we please invest in something other than OIL!
Congress and corporate America guilty of economic treason against the American citizens who they expect to fight , bleed and die so their ass can enjoy the freedom to butt fuck the grass roots of America.
I used to be a believer in America, but the constant stream of bull shit that government and big business is doing to the American consumer is making me nuts. Income generating revinue , what do you mean not wearing my seat belt gives you the right to pull me over and take my money. Insurance companies and the banking system are blood suckers that want the money but dont want to pay out. health insurance companies getting in the way of good patient care. The wealthy fuckers and CEO's should be put up against the wall and shot. The Dow hits an all time high...because they are rapeing the American consumer.
I want to believe there is hope, but I am losing my faith. democrates and republicans .. national party leaders are the new Mofia, and they control the laws that allow their sins against the American consumers to go unchecked. Oh, The "media" what a bunch of dick wads...news my ass, propaganda for the corporate masses...drug companies...self serving bastards. We can take back America and put the crooks in jail .We need a new political party that forgets the discriptive adjectives..women, gay, Black, white...what the fuck ever!!! AMERICAN CITIZENS judged on their individual merit. Not a crook..dont believe in murder , death kill , stealing, raping and plundering..and that you look out for your neighbors and community..you must be a good person..and should be rewarded as such.
PAC's outlaw them...America for Americans..and when corporate greed goes uncheck we all lose...NAFTA ring a bell...
This is a news flash from Genesee county Michigan...
