Not long before Dick Armey – a conservative Republican constitutionalist – retired as House majority leader, he gave a speech expressing his worry about the government’s increasing blanket surveillance over We the People. He practically begged President George W. Bush to “use these tools we have given you to make us safe in such a manner that’ll preserve our freedom” (my book, “The War on the Bill of Rights and the Gathering Resistance,” Seven Stories Press, 2003).
Bush’s response, alas, was to listen more and more to Vice President Dick Cheney.
And now for the first time in American history, according to the Government Accountability Project’s Jesselyn Radack, Attorney General Eric Holder has officially and publicly declared “new guidelines that permit the federal counterterrorism investigators to collect, search and store data about Americans who are not suspected of terrorism, or anything …
“According to the Justice Department, law enforcement and other national security agencies can copy entire databases and sift through the data for suspicious patterns to stop potential terrorist threats” (“Govt. Keeping Data on Americans With No Connection to Terrorism,” whistleblower.org, March 23).
Where in the Constitution do “suspicious patterns” – otherwise undefined and outside the jurisdiction of our courts – allow the government to put large and growing numbers of us into databases for future tracking?

As far as I am concerned on this issue, this government already knows too much about me. I am a very private person ordinarily, except for these comments here, not many people know too much about me……….that is, with the exception of my doctor, and even he doesn’t know as much as some advise. Even the drug tests that are mandatory are a lot too invasive, and as I feel, in violation of my Constitutional rights are concerned. What I do after I leave work, is my business and mine alone, as long as my behavior affects no one except myself. I do not appreciate this invasion into my PRIVATE life. My PRIVATE LIFE is MY PRIVATE LIFE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR MINDING YOUR BUSINESS AND STAYING OUT OF MINE! So this business of knowing even more about me, offends me in a very private manner, and I want the government to stay the hell out of my life, as much as is possible. They do not need to know everything about me or my privacy. I do not know if the rest of you are as offended as I am about this government spying, and what I consider to be a perversion of “for my own good”…………to know everything about us all…….that is not necessary at all. There are people of mu SLIME bend, that need to be watched with great care, for it is they who pose the real danger to we as a people, not we, the people of this nation, who need to be “watched”. This spying into our lives is deliberate, it is to make US into the ENEMY, and not those WHO ARE THE ENEMY! Yes, there are some natural born Americans who indeed, do need to be watched. Timothy McVeigh was just one person, and yes, he did great harm and damage to us as a people, but he was one of very few Americans who wish to harm our own fellow Americans. He actually was going after the IRS, which many of us would love to see brought to heel, as they do have too much power into our lives. McVeigh got his justice, and so there are many others who should recieve the same justice, DEATH! But to spy on us all is flat out wrong. And this little “Hitler”, with his little Hitler moustache is full of hatred for we as a people, so he wants to do more harm than already he has done to us, by this spying on his own countrymen and women! If fair were fair, and there were any justice left in America, then HE IS THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE “WATCHED” for his desire to destroy us all, in his mad minded trip on the way to being the sidekick of another “Hitler in the making”, that being, his boss, Obama. Mr.Bush was wrong about a lot of things and this spying into the private lives of the citizens of The United States was just one more thing that he was wrong about. The other was the LIE he told when he stood on the deck of that ship and said to us all……..”Islam is a peaceful religion”. That was the day I stopped beleiving in him, and stopped having respect for him, I lost both in that one few seconds of the biggest lie he told during his entire 8 years as president of the United States of America. I had trusted him, and supported him through everything all of that time, and he ruined it with that one stupid, ignorant, blatent LIE! Mr.Bush knew better then, and he still knows, he knows exactly who the ENEMY is, and who they were that day on that ship………..”the mission is accomplished” sez he. No, it wasn’t, and it still isn’t, and it won’t be until we Americans are smart enough to accept that the enemy IS Islam, and it is, IT IS THE MU SLIME DISEASE THAT IS SPREADING LIKE THE PLAGUE OF OLD, ACROSS OUR NATION AND INTO OUR GOVERNMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT UPWARDS INTO EVERY OFFICE IN THE NATION! PLUS, WE NOW HAVE AT LEAST, AT LEAST………..TWO “DEVOUT MUSLIMES” IN OUR VERY OWN HOMELAND SECURITY! Can you beleive it folks, TWO “DEVOUT” mu SLIMES PUT THERE TO “PROTECT” US! A hell of a lot of good that will do, when and if the mu SLIME FILTH decides to attack us again, and the next time as promised, bigger, and worse than the first time………..or, should I say, the second time, for it was tried before then, when the Twin Towers was attacked and it failed. The Second Time was September 11, 2001! And it was a HUGE SUCCESS, killing, MURDERING 3000 souls! So, Herr Holder, and Fuerer (sp?) Obama, ya wanna tell us again that this spying into our lives is going “to keep us safe”…. how? By your “two DEVOUT” mu SLIMES in Homeland Security? Oh, really? If they are “devout mu SLIMES” then their commands by their pedophile, angry, and perverted “prophet” are null and void, perhaps? I don’t think so, it is the “way of muslims” to kill “the infidel”, it is commanded in their UNholy peice of trash! They have a DUTY to “kill the infidel where ever they are found”…………And, Wanna be RULERS, this is supposed to make us feel “really safe”? I personally, do not feel at all safe with the likes of you two in office. Not a little bit at all safe. I am under attack, and the first line of attack for you two goose stepping nazi wanna be’s, is to INVADE MY PRIVACY, so that you can SEE in the written word, that I am not your friend! I do not take kindly to this, and I refuse to GIVE you my privacy! Instead, you two will TAKE IT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, and that is how you two plan on CONTROLLING ME AND MY FELLOW PATRIOTIC AMERICANS! We would be a sorry bunch to accept this lying down! And, I have news for the both of you, WE AMERICANS ARE NOT A SORRY BUCNCH! We are of a kind that you did not plan on facing when you “laid down the ground rules” for us as a people, we will FIGHT YOU FOR OUR NATION! We will “NOT LIE DOWN AND GO QUIETLY!!!” A quote from an older song by Don Henely. We will give you both the fight of your worthless lives, count on it! One is a full blown traitor, and the other of you is illegal, an illegally sitting president, and not of American birth! You are no citizen of our country, Mr.Nose in The Air, Mr.Know it ALL! You do not know your ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to knowing Americans and American history! You can kiss our rearends as you get your sorry, illegal and America and American hating ass on a rail and leave here, and do not come back! And, take your ugly wife with you, as well as that little Nazi, Eric Holder!
