We all know Bush ran a bulldozer over our rights. That was then.
Has anybody heard any recent talk that any of that is going to be fixed by the current administration? That is one of the things I was really hopeful for. But I am getting the feeling that all those over reaching powers are going to be kept. We have no privacy, we have no rights.
I might start writing letters.

1. That was then this is now
I have been calling. I don't expect it to do much good.

2. I hope Pres. Obama waits a while to restore them
I love reminding conservatives that he can listen to their phone calls and that they use to be in favor of it.

3. It sure is a bad sign that we are still laboring under the very worst of the
bush** fiats. The Patriot Act, telecom spying, etc.

But it's just not 'terrorism' and national security that makes me wonder about these people. Have you heard any mention of repealing the Commodity Futures Modernization Act??

4. Obama will operate the backhoe.
He'll excavate a deep pit. Our rights will be tossed in there. Then the next pres (probably a republican) will fire up the bulldozer again and bury them for all eternity.
