EDIT: for those who don't want to bother clicking on the link, Ashcroft wrote an article entitled "Keep Big Brother's Hands Off The Internet". Quite a change of heart he's had since then, eh?

I really hope Bush gives this guy the boot before the next election. AG's generally don't last a whole administration and Reno was one of the first to do so. I hope she is the last and Ashcroft goes bye bye.Darth Wong wrote:Everybody knows how Ashcroft is pushing for 24/7 monitoring of all communications of all Americans, right?

This is to be expected anytime troops are used. We still have troops in Saudi, Bosnia, Korea, etc. I dont know why Americans fall for the crap lines that the ground troops will go in then get out. That only works for a minor operation in some place small like Grenada.Fixed it again! Do I have to point out that Billy C said our troops would be
home from bosnia in time for christmas, and they're now in their 4th or
5th year there?
I do not think Bush is going to fire Ashcroft before the end of his term. They're both right-wing Christian conservatives. Bush is gonna watch out for his own. Can't say the same thing for Colin Powell, who is far closer to the center than Bush is (And Powell will likely leave on his own accord anyway.)Knife wrote:I really hope Bush gives this guy the boot before the next election.

No, that the Western African country freeing slaves, which had a flag like the CSA one, before their was a CSA. Coindence? Maybe. Anyone you have a link too Lincoln's plan.Shinova wrote:Did you guys know that Abe was originally planning to deport all the Blacks back to Africa or something?
Things could've been a lot different if Lincoln hadn't been assasinated.
I sense a lot of distraction attempts here. Billy Clinton's blowjob does not affect you in any way, shape or form. It was wholly irrelevant to the presidency. Ashcroft's about-face on Internet freedom and individual privacy, on the other hand, DOES affect you.Rhadamanthus wrote:Bah, we all know Democrats are absolute paragons of truth ....

I'll give you three guesses, but you should only need 1.
