I've never watched or read the news much in my lifetime. As such, I've never been informed of a lot of current events and thus haven't been a person who thinks much about politics. But the more I read and the more I hear and the more I am exposed to what is actually going on, the more I worry about this country and where it is going. It really is ( Read more... )

HAY WUT ABOUT TEH IRAK WAR ISNT THAT BULSHIT

anonymous July 19 2007, 21:20:14 UTC

welcome to four years ago :P. the real problem is many Americans lately have suffered from a bad case of poor-judgment-short-sightedness-shitty-evaluation-let-your-immediate-emotions-take-over-itis. if you blame the leader, then in most cases you're blaming the people, too.

four years ago i was scoffed at by fellow colleagues for largely criticizing a certain war (Iraq- not Afghanistan). it was just SO obvious it was the right thing for us to do. how unpatriotic I was; how stupid of me!!! well here we are now, and it's 700,000-deaths-cons-outweighing-the-pros-a-huge-problem too late. sorry, i had to vent.

of course there are plenty of other issues. but i, too, hope the future will brighten up. feel free to delete if a flame war ensues; but let me first say anyone who disagrees with me is COMPLETELY wrong and a giant doo-doo head.

FLAME WAR! YOU'RE WRONG!

But yeah, the thing that I was reading when I wrote this was http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/07/20070717-3.html and how it's not on any news on TV or online that I've seen yet. Seems to me like the kind of thing that can use vague language to take away rights, one more step towards political dissent being illegal. This pretty much says "If we don't like your protests, we can just say you pose a significant risk of a violent act that threatens stability" then poof, all your stuff is now gone. The fact that something like this was an executive order and not made known to the public just makes it seem like a scheme.

sounds kinda alien and seditiony.

the letter is dated july 17, so maybe there hasn't been enough time for it to get out there yet. but i still think it's weird- as it is an executive order. a "crazy scheme"? i don't know, brian. all i know is that i already bought the dream.

i read through the order and "threatening interests" seems to mean an actual planned attack or monetary support of terrorists, not really peaceful protest. i would be shocked if bush used this executive order the way you're suggesting. it's almost certain that he'll only use it to freeze assets of those suspected of funding the insurgency.

and trust me, i am like the number one government playa hata

Brian, are you embarrassed to put the rightful band name next to your song title? I think that's disgusting.
