Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Obama Releases Bush-Era Secret Terror Memos

I see this as a simple win-win ploy for the current administration.

I'm not condoning Bush's tactics or those of the CIA and the other alphabet soup agencies. It all really sickens me more than anything else. Oblabla has taken verbal stand to protect our rights, but as we've seen already, what he says and what he does are two different worlds. There is more earmarked pork in the stimulus package than can be believed. Yet, his campaigns foundation was change in Washington, NO MORE EARMARKED SPENDING. If he was indeed opposed to the acts of the former administration. HLS would be dissolved immediately along with the Homeland security act, the document signed into law granting all of the heinous powers discussed in those memos. Instead he chooses to focus mainly on the rights of non-citizens. While I agree they deserve the same rights we do, what happened to out rights? And why is the HLSA still a law?

This also seems to be a lead in to the Socialist agenda flowing through Washington as I type. Now he can answer any opposition with "you let Bush do it, why not me?".

The truly terrifying element in all of this, those who have the power to change it, WE THE PEOPLE, seem to agree by majority that socialism is what we want. Poles are reporting 69% of those surveyed think the government should provide for the people. Our government is too big and disorganized to do anything efficiently. Giving them control over our lively hoods and well being, is like asking an obsessive compulsive with memory loss to count grains of sand on a beach.

All in all, I'm loosing hope for our nation. Not because of the government or the current administration. But because the people have become so lazy and disillusioned, we are beginning to believe others can make better decisions about our lives than we can. It is truly sad.

The release of these memos is just another step encouraging the masses to relinquish their rights to government. The people and the courts couldn't get this information, so WHO YA GONNA TRUST?

Hang on tight, we're in for a wild ride.
