How did that happen?

So I was listening to the podcast of Real TIme Bill Mahr and they started talking about the how the President should be put up on charges and sent to jail.

And I agreed with them.

Last week, I signed a ACLU petition against the REALID regulations being proposed by the American KGB...I mean...Homeland Security.

What the hell is happening? Am I becoming a liberal?

For a moment I was scared. Then I realized, no, I am just beyond the normal brainwashing of liberals and conservatives. I just realized that just because I am conservative(read not a liberal) doesn't mean I can't be pissed off on how this Administration has fucked things up, lied (no big surprise there), and betrayed American soldiers and values with a farce of a war.

I will admit that I supported the war, originally, when we were going after bin Laddin. I even agreed that Iraq was a threat and Saddam had to be removed before he did something bad with his WMDs. But, then we spent years wasting time, find out intel was bad. THe WMDs were already gone. Where or when, we still don't know. And damn it all, we still can't get a deal on a barrel of oil. At least the French were getting some in their little scam.

So, my position on the War has shifted, and as we learn more, I believe rightly so.

However, mine is not the only opinion moving around here.

Back when the Patriot Act was named the Anti-Terrorism Omnibus Act (written by the Clinton Administration), you never heard the ACLU whisper one word about how it would violate the Constitution and privacy rights. When they were burning down Waco or sniping up on Ruby Ridge, there was no word on lies or abuse of power. When they started illegal search and seizures for the "War on Drugs" and made it Guilty until proven Innocent even if they raided the wrong house, the Liberals thought that was all right.

But, suddenly there is a Republican in the White House using all the "cool toys" that Clinton had, and suddenly the Liberals are all jumping on the Constitutional bandwagon with me. Back then, when I complained about this, I was a paranoid radical. Today, I am just another one who has finally come around to what the Liberals have been saying all along, or at least since 2000.

But I don't expect it to last. Let's face it, in another year or so, the Democrats will be back in power and will return to their agenda of ruining this country and turning us into a third-world country so we will fit in nicely with all the other countries and no one will be able to point to us and say "Look at the Americans. They make so much more money than us. They buy gas so much cheaper than us (Although the Republicans are doing a fine job of picking up the slack for them on that one.) They has so much more freedom than us." Hard create a world-wide populace of peasants when one guy is making $15/hour for something the slave children only get 15 cents for.


Of course, this is going to continue happening to until people realize that Democrats and Republicans/Liberals and Conservatives are the same side of the counterfeit coin they have been selling us for too long. It is smoke and mirrors, folks, and for all of you who think your side is different, time to pull your head out of the donkey/elephant ass and see the truth before we are living in the USSA.
