if this doesn't hit the nail on the head

i don't know what does.

i have NO issues with being spied upon IF IT'S DONE WITHIN THE LAW. if you (the government) think i'm a bad bad bad person (i'm really not by the way), then get a judge to sign a warrant and wiretap me. THAT is acceptable to me. what isn't acceptable to me is spying on your own citizens for NO REASON and with NO warrant. what isn't acceptable to me is the united states of america torturing people. what isn't acceptable to me is the united states of america holding prisoners with NO charges, NO rights, NO contact with the outside world. what isn't acceptable to me is our government being friends with some terrorists (let's just use gaddafi as an example) yet accusing OTHERS of being terrorists and having no contact with them. what's not acceptable to me is believing in the rapture. what's not acceptable to me is letting your citizens go hungry, go without shelter, go without education, go without health care.

what was in NO WAY acceptable no way at all acceptable to me was the king george administration period. i want them to be held accountable for ALL OF THEIR CRIMES


Illegal, and Pointless

We’ve known for years that the Bush administration ignored and broke the law repeatedly in the name of national security. It is now clear that many of those programs could have been conducted just as easily within the law — perhaps more effectively and certainly with far less damage to the justice system and to Americans’ faith in their government.

That is the inescapable conclusion from a devastating report by the inspectors general of the intelligence and law-enforcement community on President George W. Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program. The report shows that the longstanding requirement that the government obtain a warrant was not hindering efforts to gather intelligence on terrorists after the 9/11 attacks. In fact, the argument that the law was an impediment was concocted by White House and Justice Department lawyers after Mr. Bush authorized spying on Americans’ international communications...........
