My Country, 'Tis of Thee...
Dec 16, 2005

Whatever has happened to our sweet land of liberty? Our fearless leader, King Georgio, allowed (directed?) the National Security Agency to SPY on the citizens of his own country - OUR COUNTRY - without benenfit of court warrants!

Yes folks, this administration encouraged and sanctioned ILLEGAL EAVESDROPPING by a government agency in the name of "national security."

WHY AREN'T MORE US CITIZENS AFRAID YET? ARE WE GOING TO BE LED TO THE SLAUGHTER QUIETLY?

The good news is that this revelation helped in the initial defeat of the Patriot Act in the Senate today. Pray that those currently opposed to permanently legalizing these infringements on our privacy and civil liberties remain strong and continue to vote against its passage!
