Bush:Patriot Act Restrictions not Binding on Me
http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2006/03/24/bush_shuns_patriot_act_requirement/

WASHINGTON -- When President Bush signed the reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act this month, he included an addendum saying that he did not feel obliged to obey requirements that he inform Congress about how the FBI was using the act's expanded police powers.

The bill contained several oversight provisions intended to make sure the FBI did not abuse the special terrorism-related powers to search homes and secretly seize papers. The provisions require Justice Department officials to keep closer track of how often the FBI uses the new powers and in what type of situations. Under the law, the administration would have to provide the information to Congress by certain dates


Just a few more inches, George, and you'll be a proper fascist. Just gotta eliminate elections. You got the stones for that?

I don't think you'll have the balls, but maybe you'll surprise me. You're a candyass and you're afraid to go the whole nine yards. You're just a wannabe fascist.

1. It's true that he doesn't care about the polls.

He'll do anything he can get away with. He's not even trying to hide it anymore. How will this country get through three more years of this lunatic?

2. He's adopted the Nixon Doctrine of information as personal property...
....with the slogan ..."When the president does it, that means it's not illegal."

3. It's worse than that...
...he's adopted the Divine Right of Kings.

Seriously, I always thought Chimpy was an idiot, but I'm coming to realize that he (more than the country as a whole) changed after 9/11. Obviously, he listened to those on the Religious Reich (such as Ashcroft?) who told him that God had selected him to lead America through these times. (As a sign of how crazy they are, they now tout the whole 2000 election mess as proof -- that, even though the voters wanted Gore, God intervened because He knew that America needed Bush in charge. :crazy: ) Since then, The Global Village Idiot (always susceptable in matters of religion) has actually come to believe this -- and, if God has annointed him as our leader, who cares what Congress, the Courts, or even the American people think? Isn't it even his duty to lead us according to his own lights, however unwilling we may be to follow?

:scared:
