For love of Country

I recently found that I am a bit naive in a wide array of matters. First I thought that while our government was capable of nasty things, there was no way possible that they could ever stoop as low at to spy on its own people. I mean my best friend and x-roommate is an x-navy seal so I know that big bad blue was capable of and for the most part did allot of naughty stuff and I really have no prob with that, hey what I don't know doesn't hurt me. However, I always that it was something like in Independence Day when the Prez said told the crazy quack (Julius Levinson) that Area 51 doesn't really exist and then Sec. Def Nimzicki that it did and the Prez asked how come he didn't know about it and he said plausible deniability? Well I'm ok with that because the Prez was not ever deceiving the public because he didn't know the truth. All good no harm no foul. Lots of stuff happen for good or bad and as long as the big guy isn't calling the shots, I'm somewhat ok. The Prez now admits that he is the one authorizing the illegal crap and that is very disturbing. You say that it shouldn't go on at all and weather he knew or not its wrong and I say correct it shouldn't happen at all. Lets be real, Iran-Contra bad, say what you will it save lives and avoided what at that time in history could have been a much nastier scuffle considering the big bad red dog was looking over Iran's shoulder and giving a helping hand. Well and bad thing happened and guess what, Ronnie could recall a thing about it, Ollie took the fall and we all went on like nothing happened because "the Prez didn't do anything illegal" ;-) Here the Prez openly admits to doing the bad stuff and is trying to claim that its legal which the entire world knows is false including him. I liked the days when stuff happened behind the backs of the people in power and now right out in the open. I say these are scary times. The US is the place where democracy rains supreme and peace and good will is had by all. I say this, I am no scholar but this isn't the type of peace and good will that I imagined back in civics class.

Peace Out..................
