For years, top officials of the Bush and Obama administrations dismissed fears about secret government data-mining by reassuring Congress that there were no secret nets trawling for Americans' phone and Internet records.

Im getting more and more ticked off about the Bush administration. Given that that they don't come close to the current administration in dastardly deeds, they sure did a lot of things that you wouldn't expect someone on the side of the American people and America to do. TARP, DHS, Campaign finance, etc. I'm beginning to see W in a very different light. While I've had problems with some of his policies, going back to his days as Texas governor, I have always defended him as a decent person, I'm seriously questioning that now. "By their fruits shall ye know them."

9/11 certainly proved very useful to the statists.

Gert real.

TARP: You'd rather be livin' in a cardboard shack? The Soros cabal would have destroyed the world economy had Bush not acted.

DHS: Bush resisted. But the people were scared and clamored for "something" to be done. Do you honestly think doing nothing would've played in Peoria?

Now that the crises have past it's easy (rhymes with cheesey) to claim that what was done was all wrong. And doing nothing would've been just fine.

But, you can't prove any of that.

Which is why I think you're just takin' gratuitous cheap shots.
