-Caveat Lector- > Bush Government "Out of Control" > By Chuck Baldwin > November 22, 2002 > > > Back in August, columnist Paul Craig Roberts asked the question, > "Is a vote for Republicans a vote for a police state?" The answer > seems to be a resounding yes! The Bush administration seems > determined to turn our country into the most elaborate and > sophisticated police state ever devised. > > Things are so bad that outgoing house majority leader Dick Armey > said that under Bush the federal government is "out of control." In > fact, the conservative congressman is reported to be seriously > considering taking a position with the ACLU in order to help fight > the federal government's usurpation of constitutionally protected > liberties. Does that mean one must leave the Republican Party in > order to fight for liberty? Maybe so. > > According to News Max, "Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) is being > targeted for defeat - not by the Democrats, but by the GOP > establishment." Why? Tancredo is the country's most outspoken > critic of Bush's accommodations of illegal aliens. In other words, > it's not enough to be a conservative Republican; one must be > absolutely loyal to the fuehrer, George Bush, and to his brand of > big government Republicanism. Tancredo's not, so he's on his way > out. > > Furthermore, columnist William Safire recently warned against > Bush's Homeland Security Act. In a column written for the New > York Times Safire said, "Every purchase you make with a credit > card, every magazine subscription you buy and medical > prescription you fill, every Web site you visit and e-mail you send > or receive, every academic grade you receive, every bank deposit > you make, every trip you book and every event you attend - all > these transactions and communications will go into what the > Defense Department describes as 'a virtual, centralized grand > database.'" > > Safire continued, "To this computerized dossier on your private > life from commercial sources, add every piece of information that > government has about you - passports, driver's license and bridge > toll records, judicial and divorce records, complaints from nosy > neighbors to the FBI, your lifetime paper trail plus the latest > hidden > camera surveillance - and you have the supersnoop's dream: a > 'Total Information Awareness' about every U.S. citizen." > > In another account, The Seattle Times recently reported, "The > USA Patriot Act remains shrouded in complexity and secrecy. > Bush administration officials won't say how it has been used." > > The Times continued by saying, "The CIA and FBI for the first > time ever are allowed to mix foreign intelligence with law > enforcement on U.S. soil. Citing the act, Attorney General John > Ashcroft also authorized FBI agents to spy on domestic groups > without having to show evidence of a crime." > > The tyrannical tendencies of old King George III of England > cannot hold a candle to the Machiavellian machinations of King > George XLIII of the United States. Unfortunately, there are few > Paul Reveres around to sound an alarm. Unless contemporary > patriots act quickly, Republicans, not Democrats, will be the ones > that ultimately dismantle our constitution and trample our liberties. > > � Chuck Baldwin > > > NOTE TO THE READER: > > These commentaries are copyrighted and are published twice > weekly on Tuesdays & Fridays.
