heres the deal...bush had nyt hold the eavesdropping story until the day before the patriot act in order to kill it...then he admits to illegal activity in order to protect the american ppl. hes going on and on about it now...press conference in an hour. he is gonna play up the whole "america is unsafe now that the pa wasn't renewed...blah blah blah...
everything is now in place...bush will pull off a terrorist attack on us soil and he will claim it would have never of happened if patriot act would have been renewed...now the public will go as far as accepting a police state or something really close...
enjoy ur free life now...before the 2006 election, america will be a completely different country...
a defining attribute of a government is that it has a monopoly on the legitimate exercise of violence...
AT THIS point, the policy legacy of George Bush seems pretty well defined by three disparate disasters: Iraq in foreign affairs, Katrina in social welfare, corporate influence over tax, budget and regulatory decisions. As a short-term political consequence, we may avoid another dim-witted Bush in the White House. But what the Bush dynasty has done to presidential campaign science — the protocols by which Americans elect presidents in the modern era — amounts to a political legacy that can haunt the Republic for years to come.
....The next presidential campaign will show us whether these miscreant patricians have poisoned the well of the presidential campaign system. If so, there's no telling what kind of president we might get.
Keep the population scared and cowed, call into question their resolve, courage and patriotism (patriot act even ) and it seems nearly anything can be accomplished.
The one thing the press doesn't seem to catch onto is the fact that Bush constantly tries to remind the American public that he can protect them...and that he is protecting them.
That is the mantra - and propaganda - of the power hungry people in control. It justifies their control.
It is in all the history books. It is human nature.
A Vanity Fair contributing editor and vociferous advocate for the liberation of Iraq, Christopher Hitchens will square off against former U.N. inspector Scott Ritter, a vocal opponent of U.S. foreign policy regarding the Middle East.
i can't wait for the video of this
and here's where newsmax lays their cards on the table:
He has famously split from the Anglo-American political left on the issue of Iraq, becoming one of the strongest supporters of George Bush's vision of a democratic state.
LOL! Supporting the idea of a democratic Iraq is one thing -- supporting "Bush's vision" of a democratic Iraq should be grounds to turn in your press pass.
Christopher "Hitchen to Bush's falling star" is a delusional sot to begin with. He declared for Bush early in the game, and I think he's having fits trying to reconcile his worldview with the weekly shit-filled twinkie bombs being dropped on him from the White House.
You can almost hear the tears of shattered delusions hitting his keyboard when you read his articles, obsessively flailing to explain why everything really is right on track, WHY WON'T ANYBODY LISTEN TO ME ANYMORE?!?!

Here's 100 Mistakes for the President to Choose From.
During a prime time press conference on April 13, President Bush was asked to name a mistake that he has made since taking office and what he has learned from it. Bush, who was unable to answer the question, admitted "maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with [a mistake]." But weeks later, Bush still hasn't answered the question. In the interest of assisting the President with this surprisingly difficult task we've compiled this list of 100 mistakes he has made since taking office:
