Happy Independence Day!

Today might be a good day to look at your dwindling freedoms under George W. Bush, Barack Obama, the NSA, the FBI, PRISM, and the Patriot Act. Seriously, are you just going to give away your RIGHT to not be spied on with dubious warrant claims? Are you just going to give away your FREEDOM to not have your phone calls listened or your internet searches cataloged? Are you going to let National Intelligence Director James Clapper lie to Congress and not go to jail over the depth and scope of the spying? Guaranteed if you lied to Congress you'd be in jail yesterday.

So while you watch the teevee specials today on great Americans who built this land and gave us our birthrights, and watch the shells bursting over the Hudson River tonight ask yourself if you're just willing to accept what you're told by the powers that be or if you're ready to hold them to account.

Again, Happy Independence Day and Restore the Fourth!

  1. A giant "Thank you" to Edward Snowden for exposing the United States Govt to the unsuspecting public of the surveillance programs. He should go down in history with the likes of the people that drafted the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Its unfortunate that most people have become too complacent in our Country.

  2. Anonymous -- Its so easy for the powers that be to keep this about Snowden which is really too bad. It's about ILLEGAL actions by the government, hardly about some guy in a Moscow Chili's at the airport.
