I know just where you should shove those teabags Wednesday, April 15th, 2009



Where were you when Mark Klein exposed the government's illegal mass surveillance of Americans by piping directly into Internet backbone traffic?

Where were you when innocent people were being rounded up and imprisoned indefinately without even being charged of a crime?

Where were you when government leaders were exposed as torturers?

Where were you when the secret CIA prisons and the practice of extraordinary rendition was exposed?

Where were you when Bush was digging us down into a trillion dollar deficit hole fighting preventive wars, giving shady corporations massive no-bid contracting deals, and cutting taxes on real estate speculators?

Where were you when Bush shoved an $800 billion TARP scheme through Congress and nationalized huge megacorporate banks? Is it all okay, so long as it is a Republican?

Where were you when Karl Rove, Harriet Miers, Gonzo, et. al. were giving the finger to Congress, separation of powers, the rule of law, etc?

Sorry, I'm not buying your pseudo-libertarian bullshit.

You sorry twats can't even seem to differentiate between "taxation without representation" and a newly popular democratically elected legislature trying to pick up the pieces from your ill-fated crony corporatist economic adventures.




Glenn Greenwald - the ultimate reaping of what one sows:

I don't recall any complaints from Jonah Goldberg or Michelle Malkin. I don't recall Glenn Reynolds or Mark Steyn complaining that the FBI, for virtually the entire Bush administration, was systematically abusing its new National Security Letters authorities under the Patriot Act to collect extremely invasive information, in secret, about Americans who had done nothing wrong. Russ Feingold's efforts to place limits and abuse-preventing safeguards on these Patriot Act powers in 2006 attracted a grand total of 10 votes in the Senate -- none Republican.
