Why I'm a fool
By: Erin
I am a fool because I believe in people. I believe that democracy is the best political system man has conceived thus far. I believe that the payment for the freedoms one enjoys under a democratic system is participation in the process. Without participation from it's citizens, a democratic society cannot exist. America, as a result of your apathy, you get to enjoy the latest perversion of "democracy" and the largest invasion of your civil rights since this president took office in 2000. How G.W.B. can say this:
"Our efforts are focused on links to al Qaeda and their known affiliates," Bush said. "The privacy of ordinary Americans is fiercely protected in all our activities."
with a straight face baffles me. Millions of Americans have had their call lists looked at by the NSA. Millions. You can bet you're probably one of them if you have phone service through AT&T, Verizon, or Bell South. And anyone who attempts to defend this by saying that we're in a war and we need to collect intelligence and if you aren't doing anything wrong you don't have anything to worry about I say this: GO FUCK YOURSELF (sorry, Mom and Dad). What are we fighting for? What is the point of defending our freedoms if you are just going to disregard our constitutional right to privacy? Adding a big old backhanded smack in the face is the Justice Department having to drop the investigation into the warrentless eavesdropping program because the NSA is refusing to give their lawyers the security clearance needed to investigate. I am sick and tired of the culture of fear this administration has successfully created. I am so sick of Democrats and Republicans and everyday Americans being too afraid to do anything-- be it afraid of losing their seats or afraid of the next terrorist attack that you foolishly think your government can actually prevent. I am sick to death of people not being outraged.
And this is why I'm a fool. I'm a fool because I believe that the people of this country actually care.
We impeached the last president for lying about having gotten a blowjob.
Let me say it slower:
We.impeached.the.last.president.for.lying.about.having.gotten.a.blowjob.
Either gain access to G.W.B. and give him head or wake up and do something.
Write your Senators and your Representatives.
