Billions $$ later - Illegal spying - Constitution in tatters - Just how safe do you
feel now?

With the overreaching arm of Big Brother Homeland Security and the rest of the government breaking laws to monitor every internet connection, phone call and anything else they can do in the name of "protecting us" - one major thing stands out in the reports about the hoax packages for a cartoon show:


The company said that they have been in place for two to three weeks in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco and Philadelphia.

Turner Broadcasting is in contact with local and federal law enforcement on the exact location of the billboards, according to the statement, and regrets that they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger. (emphasis added)

If these had been real bombs, those cities could be history now - perhaps worse off than New Orleans (which, like bin Laden, doesn't even register with the Deciderer anymore)

How damn safe do you feel? The (mis)Administration fails once again - keeping their record of screwing up everything they touch perfectly intact.


"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
- Ben Franklin

Once again, Ben proves to be smarter than most of the government today - we've given up Liberty to purchase a little safety - and not only do we deserve neither - we have neither.
