Left Right Left Right Black White Black White Obama Bush What's The Difference? President Obama Signs Bill Extending The Unconstitutional "Patriot" Act

In 2003, Senatorial Candidate Barack Obama characterized the Patriot Act of the Bush Administration "shoddy and dangerous" and pledged to dump it.

Yesterday President Obama signed an extension of the Patriot Act for an additional 3 months. The funny thing is he had asked the House to approve a bill extending the Patriot Act for another 3 years.

In a vote 277 - 148, Obama's request fell 7 votes short of the two-thirds necessary to pass. Why? Veteran dissenters were joined by Tea-Party newcomers opposed to extra-constitutional powers for the executive branch.

Think you know a muhfuggah ... Hustle Hard.

ANSWER:

If an when Obama comes to Atlanta and places a reef at the tomb of Martin and Coretta King those who VIOLENTLY PROTESTED Bush when he did the same thing, requiring the Secret Service to ring the King Center with public transit buses to keep the angry crowd away - would be the main one's FIGHTING any protester against Obama who dared DISRESPECT the President in such a manner.

This action is consistent with: Vetoing the UN resolution which said that Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory are illegal; demanding diplomatic immunity for CIA-contract killer Raymond Davis who murdered two people in Pakistan; authorizing extra-judicial assassinations of American citizens; authorizing drone attacks which have killed hundreds of innocent children, women, and men in Af—Pak, Yemen, and Afrika, and zero prosecutions of Wall Street criminals.

I saw “change you can believe in” as a farce from jumpstreet. American politics is the science of deception.

All that’s left is for The Perfect Proxy to be charged with war crimes along with GW Bush, Deadeye Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, The Wicked Witch of the West, Condoleezza Rica, and Colonic Powell.; Feb 27, 2011, 5:45:00 PM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
