Next up, your guns.

I suppose martial law is next, soon to be followed by some kind of Sharia law.

Hey, one of the premium channels has been showing Conspiracy Theory lately. Which one of you fits the Jerry Fletcher role?

But I like the Broadband Policy Statement they put out a few years ago (2007, maybe), provided it is interpreted properly. If not interpreted properly, however, it could be more of what we're seeing.

Ever since 9/11, no politician will ever repeal the Patriot Act on the off chance there is another attack. That politician would get absolutely roasted after the fact for being weak on national defense. They'd rather stomp all over the constitution instead of risking the chance off being blamed and voted out of office.

This is HIS law now, just as much as it was W's.

But he is the figurehead of the country right now and as such, certainly isn't doing anything about it. I'm fairly certain that Obama must have known a little something something about this. Have they (administration) spoken out against this, yet? I don't know for sure - why I'm asking.
I don't know of anybody who hasn't complained about the Patriot Act in one form or another, therefore and besides, bitching about Bush. Bush is no longer holding that seat, somebody else is.

Just because it happened 7 years ago....doesn't mean we should all forget how that group wreaked havoc on our way of life and what we stood for.

If one is non partisan....then one never forgets who started what...and the deleterious consequences that we now live with.

Much like with the last budget -- and now they're trying to blame Republicans for not doing anything.
