Well, here it is, folks. The “Patriot Act” that our senators just passed to “Keep America Safe”. Heh, “give The Man the power to entrap your ass, rifle thru your belongings at will and do pretty much whatever the hell they want to do in the name of anti terrorism” is more like it. It ain’t right, folks, it just ain’t right. [We are still dealing with this in 2015. The government has more power than ever. It is WRONG. And now, in 2017 we have a fascist in the White House. Are we seeing a pattern here? -A]
As I’ve said before, we must be vigilant to ensure that the government doesn’t run rampant right now, while our attention is diverted. It’s a politician’s DREAM to have carte blanche to institute whatever laws he wants in order to inflict his will upon the masses. Politicians are megalomanics who thrive on getting in the history books, people! I am NOT a member of the ACLU, nor do I typically support their silliness, but in this matter, I am damned upset about the total absence of voters asking, um, you guys want to do what?? I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t want cops or the Feds to have the ability to look at any and all of my personal info without cause or a warrant! Geez, HELLO, is anyone awake?
Listen, we’ve got to stop this obsession about crazies writing silly notes on an airplane and concentrate on making it harder to accomplish terrorism but with our way of life and our civil liberties intact. If we allow the reactionaries in Washington to institute these new laws without so much as a NAY, then we’ve lost. Period. America is about FREEDOM and our civil liberties ARE our freedoms. It’s what makes this country great and we cannot, CANNOT let those freedoms be compromised.
So, boys and girls, it’s time to get out your Crayolas and write your Representative to ensure that this heinous bill goes no farther without serious retooling. It just takes a minute, so do it. NOW. Are you still reading? What are you waiting for, GO fer cryin out loud!!
