the memory of a goldfish, and really is stupid enough to believe that Liberal Fascism ISN'T an oxymoron. Or that (according to Glenn Beck's wicked little chalkboard) Barrack Obama really is just two degrees of separation from Hitler, via their mutual association with Kevin Bacon.

Blame It On Barak.
Oh and that NSA thingie,well that belongs to the wingers too,you see.
It was called the Patriot Act and FISA and both of those were pushed,hard by the Bush family as Poppy Bush reminisced about his days as CIA director and the unfair constitutional laws pertaining to Guilty till proven innocent,Habeus Corpus,Illegal Search and Seizure,Miranda Decision and the Magna Carta regarding the torture of detainee's.

Erosion of personal freedoms is proper and quite right when a neo-con instigates it but then when it comes time to impeach any sitting liberal president then this is the shit that monkeys do throw.

Ben Franklin noted "Those who would abandon freedom for security deserve neither(paraphrasing of course,Franklin was quite eloquent)"

Dubyuh famously quipped that things would be easier if the government was a dictatorship with him as the dictator.

BTW,congrats to the GOP and the GOTea for their new record of lowest approval rating for anything in the Gallup Poll history! (10%+)
You dumbasses built that!

Eliminate espionage and the Sears Tower gets blown up and it is just as if Pres Obama lit the fuse.

Or do the right thing and do the surveillance, although we should eliminate the mercenary, scumbag spy agencies who hire out to the highest bidder, and stop all kind of terrorism from happening.

the "true-believers" one bit unless it happens under a Republican president. Then it's a shit-storm of indignation. Consistency of belief isn't their strong point. Everything is focused upon with a political lens instead of a principle-based one.

if you carry it out to it's logical conclusion, which I'll just back away from, here on DU.

This teacher is tired of being repeatedly betrayed. I guess there's only one way to make the mainstream Democrats at least pretend to fight back.

that can pull links out of a hat at a moment's notice, but I would just suggest you do some research on who is behind opening most of the charter schools, who is profiting from them, their practices such as not admitting those with low academic records or learning disabilities, and the fact that there is little accountability. Not to mention that while they are pulling funding from public schools to give to these charters, they are ignoring the real problems that exist in the public school system. Instead of giving billionaires money to open up charters they could commit to fully funding our public schools and help fix the problems within the public school system instead of funneling money out of it. And another thing, they continue to make the funding problem worse by telling schools that underperfom(usually because they already lack funding) that if they do not perform to a certain level they risk losing more funding. And to try and perform to the level that the federal goverment demands they are in a panic to try and force these kids to jump grade levels practically overnight. I could go on and on. Like I said MadFloridian could not only tell you where to look to fing this stuff she would be a more elequent speaker. But I have seen my own son suffer in the public school system to that is why I am passionate about it.

From a wingnut perspective, Obama can easily be a jackbooted thug repressing good white Christians for the benefit of his ter'rist Mooslim friends. Problem solved!

Besides, when have you ever noticed Republicans ever feeling terribly put out by holding far more contradictory positions at the same time than this?

Every time they walk and talk, a little more shit gets on the floor until enough people decide to call them on it and demand they clean it up! How the GOP keeps lying and pretending to care AND gets away with it - boggles my mind really. Even with the M$Ms help, it still seems like most Americans by now would laugh them out of office for lying and pretending to care. They've made it more than obvious they don't give a rat's ass about the people of this country.

How long will people put up with these wastes of time and space?

Don't think you have to have one or the other.

2. Patriot Act


Pretty much covers it.
