Here's what the kind critics of the new police state say:
Preemptive law enforcement in the absence of a crime can violate the Constitution and due process. They cite the administration's long-running warrantless-surveillance program, which was set up outside the courts, and the FBI's acknowledgment that it abused its intelligence-gathering privileges in hundreds of cases by using inadequately documented administrative orders to obtain telephone, e-mail, financial and other personal records of U.S. citizens without warrants.
The not so kind critics, such as myself, have something a little different to say. The criminals in the White House continue to destroy the rule of law and the power of our Constitution. It may not be too late to reverse the damage they have done, but there needs to be a reckoning. I write this knowing full well that every citizen now runs the risk of coming under intense scrutiny from every angle of law enforcement, for something as minor as writing down a dissenting opinion.
The new cold war: Two oppressive states who spy on the people comparing the size of their peckers for fun. If anybody has done more to destroy our Democracy than George Bush and Dick Cheney, they have certainly done it very secretively. Two Republican pricks accomplished many of the goals that Nikita Krushchev wanted our nation to realize so badly, but they did it from the top down rather than the bottom up. When Krushchev said, "Мы вас похороним!" he meant our leaders would be buried. The opposite happened, but our country becomes more and more similar to the nation Krushchev lived in. Thanks, Bushevics, and f*** your fascism very much.
