Let's look at the upside of the situation.
If you never:

Go to the library and check out a 'liberal' type book,
Write a letter to the editor criticising Shrub,
Put a bumper sticker on your car other than a flag or 'support the troops',
Attend a protest against the pResident,
Vote for a Democrat,
Defend the last elected President, WJC,
Post on DU (or any other 'subversive' internet sites),
Criticise Shrub or any of his neo-con cabal associates (a dupe, I know),
Fail to Praise Jebus for the "adults" now in "charge",
........
You have nothing to fear from Asscrack and his various "Patriot Acts."


(just cobbled this together online extemporaneously, I'll try to clean it up when I get done with some errands.)

2. and you then must quietly accept your fate, on the front lines
Edited on Tue Aug-19-03 07:11 PM by amen1234
of any number of wars, TORMENTED AND SHOT AT while the shrub plays golf, occasionally stopping to ask for more patriotism...while you go like sheep...blah blah blahhhhhing that you have nothing to fear as the 'USAPA TROIT' ACTS take full effect....\

Note: it doesn't have anything to do with Patriotism....
it is better called the USAPA TROIT act....don't fall for KKKarl rove's meme, and call it THE Patriot act...It's the USAPATRIOT act...


U.S.A.P.A.T.R.O.I.T. Act = Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act

5. you're screwed!
Get yerself a plastic jayzus for yer dashboard and git yerself a little gold cross to hang around yer neck.

Say "amen" a lot and "have a blessed day".

Then, you will be free to move about the country.

4. Last week had a four legged plane flight
around the country.

I used the same credit card to contribute to Dean as I did to check in at the Delta kiosk for boarding passes.

All four times I was told to put my baggage in a "Special Selection" or some such line for special security attention. It was tagged with this big "special attention" tag. I'm a middle aged professional flying with two kids.

Course, with all the DU posts and carnivore, guess I'm lucky I'm not on a no fly list. That'll be next

6. Not so easy - you don't have to do a thing
That's what's scary. Identity theft is alive and well, not to mention plain ol' clerical errors. Who's to say that you don't have a similar or same name as a felon or somebody on a "wanted" list?

Years ago when mister murphymom and I applied for a home loan his name come up on our credit report as a deadbeat dad who owed child support. (Interesting for a man with no kids!) It was someone else and we got it straightened out easily, but had it been a mistake of a more serious nature we could have had real problems.

7. Thank Your Local Librarian For Standing Up to the ASS!!
My library anyway, they destroy the records as soon as you

return books and wipe the net records as soon as you log off

not perfect but the most they can do



That is my nit pick , otherwise I think you have

an excellent flier/poster here.

9. I'd love nothing more than to attend, but I have to fly a charter to Seatt
Seattle Friday. Maybe I'll have enough time there to find a protest.
