On Wednesday the Senate approved a bill that expands the government’s wiretapping powers and also grants retroactive immunity to the telecoms that assisted with the illegal wiretapping done on suspected terrorists in America without a warrant after 9/11.
There is nothing to fear in the bill, said Senator Christopher S. Bond, the Missouri Republican who was a lead negotiator, “unless you have Al Qaeda on your speed dial.”
Bull-fucking-shit. Ever hear of McCarthyism? How about the House Committee on Un-American Activities? Terrorism is a very broad fucking term and can be used to describe just about anything. I wouldn’t put it past members of the RIAA or MPAA to demonize filesharers as terrorists since they are essentially a threat to their markets. Next thing you know, they’ll use their money to grease the wheels of the government to create new laws for the enforcement of copyright theft. Oh wait, they did that already.
The system is clearly broken and all people worry about is not being able to buy some fucking tacos from a roach coach, whether or not they’ll be able to buy the new iPhone tomorrow or that somebody on the internet is hating on Bow Wow. Fuck the iPhone. Fuck Bow Wow. Fuck the taco trucks.
Obama voted in favor of the bill as well. Fuck him too.
