This is America!

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT, YOU RIGHT-WING ASSHOLES!

This means YOU, Mr. President.

USATODAY.com - Wiretap ruling affirms that presidents aren't monarchs

For the past five years, the Bush administration has operated as if the horrific events of 9/11 not only changed fundamental aspects of national security and public safety, but also changed the very nature of government.

President Bush has unilaterally declared what parts of new laws he wishes to enforce. He has created military tribunals unauthorized by Congress. And, perhaps most ominously, he has authorized eavesdropping on phone calls to and from the USA without court orders.

Bush has done these things by simply asserting that the powers of the presidency enumerated in Article II of the Constitution — particularly the clause making him the "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy" — are much more sweeping than previously imagined. In short, he has acted like a king.

Fortunately, the courts have begun to rein in his royal ambitions. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court threw out the military tribunals. And on Thursday, federal Judge Anna Diggs Taylor struck down the warrantless surveillance program, finding it to be a violation of the First and Fourth Amendments and the principle of separation of powers. "There are no hereditary Kings in America," she wrote.

Quite frankly, I'm fed up with America-haters who despise our freedoms and want to replace our democratic way of life with their own twisted worldview. Unfortunately, they're running things in DC at the moment.

KICK THE GOP BASTARDS OUT THIS NOVEMBER!

There...I feel much better. Time for a cup of coffee...
