For several weeks now, I have been ranting and raving about the Bush Administrations pervasive use and protection of unlimited, warrantless domestic wiretapping. My republican friends have all been pretending that they can't see any problem with this policy and that adherence to the FISA act would place our country in grave danger, severely impeding our moral crusade against terror. It is inconcevable to me that the party of smaller less intrusive government is willing to turn a blind eye to this to this affront to liberty, for power and politic. The conservative court has refused a hearing on domestic spying and the Attorney General is looking the other way.
Suddenly it occurred to me that the shoe is about to be on the left foot. I fully anticipate, that quite a few republicans are going to be fired in November; Senators, Congressmen, President, Attorney General, who knows? Imagine the un-restricted wiretapping of republicans by democrats, with a democratic Attorney General and an old conservative stacked Supreme Court, that has already ruled, "No Problemo." The US emerges from a Nineteen Eighty Four scenario to Huxley's Brave New World.
Kinda gives you reason for pause, don't it, neocon?

I'm old enought to remeber Sen Joe Macarthy and the fear at the time that your neighbor or even your parents could be "commies" or "reds'. Then it was the same fear of the "Russians" andnow it is "terrorists"/Taliban/etc. Our governement has grown with the element of fear to delete the "rights' of individuals, even if some of it has been real slowly. But herr we are again in fear of terrorists and every freedom that is taken away is in the name of "National Security". Bull...t! It's about subdoing the people and brainwashing us that they are doing what's best for us just let them do it. "They" will "protect us by taking all freedoms away. I saw that in a couple of foreign countries I lived in. THEN there were revolutions......will that happen here, maybe?
Different time same b......t, only my opinion.
