ahem...cough

Remember the number by the Who where the words go...meet the new boss, same as the old boss...
Well damned if that don't apply.  That, along with everyone's favorite 8th grade literature reading selection Orwell's 1984.
So the new boss, along with greatly expanding the previous occupants Patriot Act infringement on 4th amendment guarantees,  is now, under the auspices of the NSA (prism software) reading every e-mail, blog post and cell phone call you make.  All to make us "safe".  They're not even denying it anymore.  They only say "you have nothing to worry about if you have nothing to hide".  Riightt.
Oh & now we have boots on the ground in Jordan.  Yep 1,000 marines from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Force are there now.  On the Syrian border.  To preserve peace.  I guess fubaring Iraq wasn't good enough. But hey War is peace.
Gotta' go but to any taxpayer funded intrepid, enterprising voyeur out there kindly allow me this sentiment.
Blow me.

Libertarians and Conservatives UNITE!

While Americans spend all their effort arguing about Republicans and Democrats, both sides are marching us ever closer to the totalitarian state.

We don't need a left government or a right government, we need a federal government that is held within the bounds set for it by the states that created it in the first place. We need people who resist the 'temptation' of more government services in exchange for more government powers.

We need to remember that our federal government is not created to keep us safe, but rather to keep us FREE.

I concur.
Unfortunately it seems that a majority of people are more concerned with matters like Kim Kardashian's pregnancy or when American idol's new season is to begin.
