Liberal moonbats are always complaining that they don’t have a voice in how our nation is governed, just because our votes are counted by machines manufactured by companies with clear conflicts of interest and numerous business ties to the Ruling Party. They’re all like “Oh, boo-hoo, how do I know my vote’s being counted when there’s no paper trail to provide verifiability and independent tests have proven that the voting software being used is vulnerable to hacking, and besides has anybody but me noticed that the exit polls and the recorded vote seem to differ most greatly in districts that use these machines, and that those differences always seem to favor the Ruling Party?”
Once again, this is a half truth. Your vote only doesn’t get counted if you don't vote for the right things. If you vote with the Ruling Party, hell, your vote might get counted twice! So cheer up, you glass-half-empty types, and get with the winning team!
Here’s another example of how they always see negative side of things: Domestic spying. While all these Chicken Little types are running around like “Oh! Orwell this, and unconstitutional that, and Police State the other thing!” they are ignoring the bright side. Now, for the price of an international phone call, they can get their concerns heard by paid employees of the NSA, one of the most prestigious arms of the intelligence-gathering apparatus, who are standing by to listen to your call 24 hours a day. Do you know another way to get an audience with officials working at the highest levels of government? I think not. So why not take advantage of this historic opportunity?
Domestic Surveillance: Your hotline to the Executive Branch of government, the only branch that matters!™
Posted by flamingbanjo at December 22, 2005 05:51 PMBack in the 80s my sister travelled through the U.S.S.R. for part of a summer. Back then we pretended that governments who spy on their own citizens are bad, and that free flows of people across brders were good. Now we know better.
But anyway, they were pretty sure that they were being spied on the entire time they were there (she was with a whole tour group of western students), but what really clinched it was when they made some comment about how their hotel bathroom should have a place to hang your bathrobe, then when they came back to the room later that night, found a newly installed hook on the back of the bathroom door.
So see, domestic spying can be a good thing!
