I am disappointed, no, APPALLED at what our government did today. The Senate approved a bill that allows for more illegal wiretapping. When the government thinks that it’s perfectly OK to spy on its own citizens, even without a legitimate reason, is when freedom dies.

What’s more, Obama voted for this idiocy and invasion of privacy. Everyone knows I have been in support of Obama’s campaign, because I think he is the least likely to perpetuate another 4 years of the same crap we have been dealing with since 2000. However, I am really disappointed in his decision today. Hell, even Hillary got it right! I think one of my favorite bloggers over at f*ckingc*nts.com says it best in relation to Mr. Obama voting in favorite of this unethical bill:

I mean really, Obama. Come the fuck ON here. Oh, you’re Mr. Change, are you, you fucking pathetic political coward? THAT’S what you fucking call CHANGE?! Voting the BushCo party line, and then giving some lame excuse about it being “the best we could do”?! A filibuster would have been the best you, personally, could have done. Y’know, the filibuster you promised in regards to this particular bill? [link]

I just can’t get behind anything that moves away from the idea that we CAN actually be safe and free at the same time in this country. If it wasn’t for all the fear-mongering that happens daily, people would certainly be less likely to swallow this bullshit hook, line and sinker.

We need CHANGE in this country, not the same catering to whoever slips a dollar into a candidates pocket.

Somehow, I think we aren’t going to see much change. Not in my lifetime, anyway.
