Thread Name: BS: Domestic Spying in the U.S.
Subject: RE: BS: Domestic Spying in the U.S.
Did you hear Bush in his Saturday press conference, Ebbie???

He was like a spoiled kid chastizing his piers... The "King George" references that some have made are startling accurate... What scares me is that enough bonehead Amercians will buy into this "tough talk" to not realize that Bush has broken the law, or if they do realize it, they will give him the benefit of the doubt because Bush declares that the U.S. is at war...

Problem with this logic is that the U.S.Constituion does not allow the executive the freedom to declare war... Only Congress can do that!!!

Yeah, this is purdy scarey because the United Sates is no longer and educated and enlightened society so there's more folks who know about car racing than they know about our Consitution so if Bush wants to pump out his chest and say "I'm not a crook" then there are fewer folks around who last heard those words who would have any idea if Buish is a crook or not a crook...

Thomas Jefferson warned that the future of our democracy was dependent on an informed electorate... I don't htink he meant knowing who just won the NASCAR points race...
