"As a result, our enemies have learned information they should not have," he said. "The unauthorized disclosure of this effort damages our national security and puts our citizens at risk."

Reacting to Bush's defense of the NSA program, Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., said the president's remarks were "breathtaking in how extreme they were."

Feingold said it was "absurd" that Bush said he relied on his inherent power as president to authorize the wiretaps.

"If that's true, he doesn't need the Patriot Act because he can just make it up as he goes along. I tell you, he's President George Bush, not King George Bush. This is not the system of government we have and that we fought for," Feingold told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

2. No More Kings

A bit overly romantic and, of course, childish in it's view of our past...but nonetheless (can't find a full wav file for it)

http://www.school-house-rock.com/King.html

"Rockin' and rollin', splishin' and a-splashin',
Over the horizon, what can it be?

The pilgrims sailed the sea
To find a place to call their own.
In their ship, Mayflower,
They hoped to find a better home.
They finally knocked
On Plymouth Rock
And someone said, "We're there."
It may not look like home
But at this point I don't care.

Oh, they were missimg Mother England,
They swore their loyalty until the very end.
Anything you say, King,
It's OK, King,
You know it's kinda scary on your own.
Gonna build a new land
The way we planned.
Could you help us run it till it's grown?

They planted corn, you know
They built their houses one by one,
And bit by bit they worked
Until the colonies were done.
They looked around,
Yeah, up and down,
And someone said, "Hurray!"
If the king could only see us now
He would be proud of us today.

They knew that now they'd run their own land,
But George the Third still vowed
He'd rule them to the end.
Anything I say, do it my way now.

Anything I say, do it my way.
Don't you get to feeling independent
'Cause I'm gonna force you to obey.

He taxed their property,
He didn't give them any choice,
And back in England
He didn't give them any voice.
(That's called taxation without representation,
And it's not fair!)
But when the Colonies complained
The king said: "I don't care!"

He even has the nerve
To tax our cup of tea.
To put it kindly, King,
We really don't agree.

Gonna show you how we feel.
We're gonna dump this tea
And turn this harbor into
The biggest cup of tea in history!

They wanted no more Mother England.
They knew the time had come
For them to take command.
It's very clear you're being unfair, King,
No matter what you say, we won't obey.
Gonna hold a revolution now, King,
And we're gonna run it all our way
With no more kings...

We're gonna elect a president! (No more kings)
He's gonna do what the people want! (No more kings)
We're gonna run things our way! (No more kings)
Nobody's gonna tell us what to do!

Rockin' and rollin', splishin' and a-splashing,
Over the horizon, what can it be?
Looks like it's going to be a free country."

3. "A Farewell to Kings"

When they turn the pages of history
When these days have passed long ago
Will they read of us with sadness
For the seeds that we let grow?
We turned our gaze
From the castles in the distance
Eyes cast down
On the path of least resistance

Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and
Scoffing at the wise

The hypocrites are slandering
The sacred halls of Truth
Ancient nobles showering
Their bitterness on youth
Can't we find the minds that made us strong?
Can't we learn to feel what's right
And what's wrong?
What's wrong?

Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and
Scoffing at the wise
Can't we raise our eyes and make a start?
Can't we find the minds to lead us
Closer to the Heart?

4. Feingold was absolutely right!

The president thinks he is a king.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Yes, and they hate HIM for his DICTATORSHIP.

Freedom my ass. He's made a mockery of freedom.

[merh]

5. The Fourth Amendment -

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

So what doesn't the weed understand - HE BROKE THE LAW -- he openly admits to violating the rights of the citizens of the United States, rights guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment.

8. That's what made me snort when he invoked the Constitution.

This ass has become swelled up with some sort of false importance. I can only hope that as he is exposed more and more for the farce he is, the damage he has wrought upon this country can be repaired.

[merh]

10. God knows, I pray you are right.

:scared:

Once the powers realize they can get away with the abuses, once they see that they can admit to the crimes in public, on television no less, then there is no stopping them.

6. That's what the aim is isn't it? Bring back a society of aristocrats.

They are doing everything in their power to favor the uber-wealthy. They want the elimination of the inheritance tax to create aristocratic super-rich families (like the Bushes) so the wealth can be passed from one generation to the next.

What they want is a class system much like Mexico's or like the Edwardian Age. They want a class of robber barons and monopolies. They want the blending of government and corporations. They want fascism.

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Bring back the feudal system...bring back the peasants.

It's what his supporters (blind idiotic followers of smoke and mirrors) can't see...He couldn't care less for them.

[Protagoras]

11. I think it has been brought back already

we just call it Corporations and Wal-Mart employement now.
