I did not elect wikileaks so they should not be in charge of what documents are deemed appropriate to release to the press concerning my safety, health and well-being.
Did you elect the New York Times? How about Fox News? What about Michael Savage? did you elect him? What about all the shit that Drudge and Huff have gotten their hands on over the years? Did you elect them?
Get over yourselves.
As said in the Gettysburg address:
government of the people, by the people, for the people.
The government is not supposed to act however it wants, it is not supposed to be it's own entity nor was it ever envisioned as such, it's supposed to be a living breathing governing arm of us, by us, for us. It's supposed to act how we want it to within the limits of the constitution.
If nothing else that every 20-30 years something like this happens to make sure that all in government know they need to act within certain guidelines and in ways that "we the people" want them to and expect them to.
It's funny to hear certain people talk out there ass about how this is secret bla bla bla, but they're the same ones that would call others unpatriotic for criticizing the patriot act for being unconstitutional. how many screamed "if you don't do anything wrong then you have nothing to fear"
Well fuck then if that applies to us the people then why doesn't it apply to the government?
Of course this post will be wasted on anyone who feels like they need to belong to a team. It seems most of America has fallen into this trap, who cares about the democrats and republicans, we should care about us. Divide and conquer is a time and tested tactic and we the people are being divided by stupid talking heads and conquered as more and more of our rights are being stripped away.
