Bush and gang have changed America - forever?

When our spineless, weak kneed, gutless Congress approved Bush's illegal FISA bill, which not only allows the Bushites to spy on the American people, but also includes a provision to immunize telecoms who broke the law, Bush said the bill was "landmark legislation that is vital to the security of our people."

No, Mr. Bush, it's not "vital to the security of our people," it's a threat to our security! And, it's unconstitutional.

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed suit to have the law negated. We should be so lucky.

Why, we must ask, would so many Democrats, including Barack Obama, go along with this nonsense? Is it due to a fear of being rejected?

Bush and his neocons have played 9/11 like an old familiar song - "The terrorists are coming, the terrorists are coming." The rest of the lyrics include,

"We must ignore the law,
we must take away your rights,
we must spy on you and all your friends,
in the light of day and in the dark of night."

This song, written by Bush and his neocons, became a number one hit. The American public bought into all the fear-mongering and war-mongering. The Democrats are afraid to appear weak on terror and lose their place in the money pit known as Congress. So they fall on their knees and crawl to approve this illegal bill under the gaze of a smirking chimp of a president.

Bush signed the bill in a ceremony in the Rose Garden. He tried to justify this travesty by claiming the 9/11 attacks "changed our country forever." Our intelligence community must know who the terrorists are talking to and what they are talking about, he said.

That doesn't explain, of course, why Bush wants to spy illegally on American citizens, or utilize the records of the telecoms to cast a net over all of us in hopes of catching one or two bad people.
It does however, once again show that the Bush administration does not believe in the Constitution of the United States.

It's not 9/11 or the terrorists that have "changed our country forever." If blame is to be assigned, point to George and his friends. They're the ones who have changed our country.

It's up to the voters to decide whether we return to the rule of law or whether we simply collapse constitutional government in favor of an all-powerful executive.
