In order to refresh the short memories of masses of idol-worshippers who still don’t see through the tyranny of this administration, we are posting this video of Obama decrying the very tactics of a previous administration that he himself employs today.
That said, it is worth noting that the tea party, its inception inspired by Ron Paul in 2007, considered the Patriot Act (and similar laws such as NDAA that came along later) as one of the lynchpin issues of their movement.
Recommended reading is this great piece in Seacoast Online by talkmeister Jeff Chidester who points out that BOTH parties are to blame for the Patriot Act and gives us a mention.
He writes: “Here in New Hampshire, groups like the N.H. Tea Party, and people like Jerry DeLemus (Rochester 9-12 Project) and former state Sen. Burt Cohen, two gentlemen from opposite ends of the political spectrum, fought against the implementation and reauthorization of the Patriot Act. It just goes to show that although there was a bipartisan effort to support the Patriot Act, there were also people from both sides fighting against it.”
So next time you overlook what is going on because ‘your side’ is in charge, think of the consequences, and especially what can happen when your ‘side’ ISN’T in charge. Partisanship is, and can be deadly.
Update: So what’s Joe Biden think now?
