In a word, yes.

Levity aside, that particular piece of legislation changed my
government from the protector of my security to a threat against it.
Hahahaha. What a riot, eh?

Members of my family who are familiar with my outspokenness have often
joked about the black helicopters coming for me. It was funny because
it was unthinkable in America. Now it's possible. Hahahaha.

All that lofty baloney about safety in my home from searches and
seizures, the right to a fair trial, the right to speak out against the
President can ow disappear along with me if the President simply
decides I'm an enemy combatant. Hahahaha. I'm gonna die laughing.

Exactly right. It is a travesty bordering on, if not actual,
high treason.

Is this a paid service or will they do this for free? ;-)

BTW, tighten up your tinfoil, lib-boy, it's getting a bit loose around the
edges. double- ;-)

So you would argue that just because the government *can* do
these things to terrorists only a tin-foil conspiracy theorist
should worry that the government actually *would* do it by
mistake to someone who isn't a terrorist ?

Whew, that's a relief. Thank you, Timmmmmmay, you've reaffirmed
my confidence in our government and our amended Constitution.

Just call the White House, ask for the Department of Illegal Spousal
Kidnapping and Toaster Repair, and tell them she said Bush's socks don't
match. She'll be on a Gulfstream, afterburners hot, and whisked away to
some dungeon in Diddywackistan before you can say, "Hon, what's for
dinner?"...well, that's what EVERYBODY says, anyway...

And flabby in the middle, too...

Don't tell me there's no difference between Republicans and
Democrats.

I might think I was caught in a time warp and had landed in the middle of a
war with a president named Lincoln?

Okay Kenny, tell us how trying to save the Union and free the slaves was a
bad thing!
