You have a Herculean task before you… Essentially to clean up what Republicans have left behind.
However, it would be fair to warn you that my support for the Constitution of the United States of America, and my sworn duty to obey it to the best of my abilities, has me fearful of some the changes you propose for public safety. As an American, I have the right to live unsafely if I wish…
My ancestors had the same right.. They chose to come to America… and because of that… here we are today.. Our ancestors chose to travel west for opportunity, and because of it, here we are today.. Our ancestors chose to sign up and wear blue, to keep the grays from splitting us apart.. and because of that, here we are today…
I want that same right to maximise any opportunity that may present itself before me..
So, with fair warning, any criteria you propose to tame the Internet, which limits the right I hold so dear, the right to express my opinion with impunity, will cause you to lose the battle of public opinion… because I will fight you there..
The rules for engagement are as follows… YOUR PROPOSALS MUST FIT WITHIN THESE GUIDELINES… Once offered in high prose, but for everyone’s benefit today, I have put them in street language… For after all, that is where these values need to be upheld… on the streets of this great nation…
The ten basic rules are as follows…
1) You can’t tell me what to believe, or make me go home and shut up.
2) I’ll go armed and defend myself, thank you.
3) You can’t make me let someone else live in my house.
4) This is MY house; if you can’t demonstrate a compelling need to
snoop, stay the f*** out.
5) This is MY sh**; keep your greedy hands off it. And don’t go
accusing me of Evil without evidence.
6) If you’ve got evidence, lay it on the table. And no fair getting
a confession by pitchforking me in the ass.
7) I ain’t guilty just on YOUR say-so.
8) You can’t keep me in jail just because you want to.
9) As to the rest of my life, you can’t tell me what to do or not
do.
10) And neither can your big fat uncle in Washington.
Keep these in mind.. As long as you remain within the parameter of what I have sworn to cherish and uphold, you will continue to have my support… especially the fourth, since it’s misuse directly applies to us bloggers….

Kavips, what did Obama et al do or say to prompt this piece?
Could it have been his extension of the Bush wiretaps?

Perry,
Obama & Biden swore an Oath that they would “… faithfully execute the Office of President / Vice President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
How many times do they have to commit Perjury and/or Treason by violating that Oath before you will join the rest of us in at least questioning the legality of their actions?

Perry, it has not been leaked yet so I cannot comment.
And Tom, the proper answer to your question, should be one time… and that should apply to presidents of either party..
I am unaware of any treasonous acts or acts of perjury from either this or the past administration… Are you?
There are differences in opinion, of course, but they shouldn’t be considered treasonous….

“the proper answer to your question, should be one time… and that should apply to presidents of either party.”
I would tend to agree w/ this, except I think you should amend “either party” to “any party”. So far 6 political parties have won the Presidency, and there are many more trying.
As to your other question; in short, yes. I think that acts of perjury and/or treason have been committed by both the Obama & Bush II administrations, an well as those of Clinton, Bush I, Reagan and Nixon.
I will answer this in more detail, but it will probably take a while and end up being quite long winded.

yes, any party it is.. good correction…
And the point I was making was where do we draw the line or degree over what constitutes perjury and what is just contorting truth to do business…
I can’t remember the name of the post where I brought up the lies of Eisenhower who said “we do not have planes overflying the Soviet Union” just days before the shot down Gary Powers….”
Perjury before Congress or the Supreme Court, perhaps might be a punishable offense, but lying is part of confusing one’s enemies and must be part of our national security…
I’m sure your are not considering that element, but it should be included with those other incidents if you could bring them to light….
As for being long winded, seekers of truth don’t mind… It’s only the crack heads who complain about long treatises of merit….
lol.
