And this is how I know God isn’t vindictive - that lightning didn’t strike him dead:
In a speech to Missouri Republicans yesterday, former attorney general John Ashcroft defended President Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program and his record on civil liberties, declaring that Bush is “among the most respectful of all leaders ever” when it comes to “respecting the civil liberties and rights of individuals.” Bush “respects liberty so profoundly that he has protected it and has safeguarded civil liberties more than any other president in wartime that I know of,” Ashcroft said. Ashcroft’s comments come on the heels of Bush’s decision to allow the civil liberties oversight board to go vacant.
‘…any other president in wartime…’
Ashcroft speaks of the liberty to retain or amass wealth. His philosophy is based on the white male privilege of slaves and chattel.
What about before wartime?
Bush was illegally snooping within a couple
of months of first taking office.
