Gee, it's fun to phone!!
Have you heard the latest news?!
Federal agencies have been monitoring domestic communications without warrants for the safety of democracy and the protection of our civil rights!
And really, who cares about how many times that line's been used before?
Oh sure, all the commie pinko liberals will start protesting against the "abuse" of power and the so-called destruction of civil rights, but how else are we supposed to protect them?? This week you can whine all you want about the warrantless surveillance of Grandma harmlessly swapping cookie recipes over the phone with Marge next door... but before you know it, Marge starts dating a Palestinian biker named Abdul, Abdul forces Grandma into some Mexican money laundering scheme in exchange for cheaper prescription pills from Saudi Arabia, her weekly bridge club becomes a cover for an Al Quaida training camp in Nevada, and the terrorists have won!!
The only way to stop the slide down the slippery slope into a national nightmare? Spy on our fellow citizens at all times!
After all, "Freedom's untidy, and free people are free to make mistakes and commit crimes and do bad things," as Rummy has told us before. So why not take this necessary step to protect our freedom and privacy?
Coming Up Next:
a National DNA Database: a really terrific idea, or just a good one?

dna database: truly a revolutionary idea...why NOT take away the last vestiges of free society? we don't really need all this freedom...i clearly do not know what to do with it...for instance, right now, i'm in bed...that is clearly not appropriate use of freedom! at least if they had my dna, i'd know that i'd have to be out of bed and in a coal mine somewhere!
atractiva: what a coincidence! I've been lazing about in bed a lot today too! I'm defnitely abusing my freedom...
Ho no! This smacks of pinko-talk indeed. I'm reporting you to the House Un-American Activities Committee. At least I will once it's been reinstated.
glomgold: at least I will be in good company :)
