Yeah... I'm sort of in the, "Uh, this wasn't okay when it was Bush, and it's still not okay, I just wish I was confused about why it's suddenly a frigging scandal. :P "

[andelku]

Its a scandal because its happening to ... ahem ... "normal people."

It was supposed to be okay because it was only supposed to happen to the evildoers. We were only supposed to trade OTHER PEOPLE'S liberties for OUR safety. See. By some definition of other people and some definition of our.

Cue Ben Franklin and the Crash Course US History theme.

I've had this as my default ringtone for ages. (I can't imagine since 2006, I don't think I had a phone that handled mp3 ringtones back then.)

It's shocking what people will accept as long as it happens to other (and Other) people.

for the record, i and my husband knew this was going, because we heard about it in 2006, so we knew and when all the kerfuffle started we were like, yeah, it's wrong, it was wrong 7 years ago and hello, why is this a scandal now??

my brown family members arent terrorists, just drug smugglers and landscapers (they are all from COLOMBIA).
