To be honest, I know…

To be honest, I know this blog doesn’t have all that big a readership. I do appreciate all of you that have felt it worth bookmarking, to be sure. However, 40 visits a day (as per SiteMeter) isn’t a Tier B or Tier W blog. One of the benefits of this (in a way) is that I don’t get much hate mail. I don’t get much mail at all based on the blog, but at least not that much hate mail. We’re talking about 1 e-mail per year. Really.

Last year’s e-mail came during my Christmas break (which is why I didn’t get to it immediately), and it was about the NSA wiretapping issue. It wasn’t hate mail, per se, at least not directed at me. According to Christian Pecaut, the issue is as simple as black and white.

There’s no comparison between Clinton (Democratic Administration), and Bush (Republican Administration).

Any time that right-wingers talk publicly about their spying, they are doing so with the _deliberate_ purpose of terrorizing us.

That’s the purpose of these surveillance and counter-intelligence programs after all. Keep everyone so terrified that they can’t see through Republican lies.

Apparently, Christian is privy to the secret plans of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy(tm). That’s the black, now the white.

Yes, Clinton, as the President, inherited a whole worldwide apparatus of spying and subterfuge.

That whole apparatus is filthy, and looking at the post-9/11 ramp up by the spy/military community, you can see the kind of scum he was fighting off.

The decisive point, however, if that Clinton’s overall purpose is helping people to the extent that he can; as all Democrats and liberals.

Poor Clinton inherited this apparatus (guess he wouldn’t have really wanted it), but he used this power for good, as every Democrat and good liberal would.

The overall purpose of Republican spying, lying, and power is to harm people and take from them whatever you can (especially maps of long term security).

That’s the difference.

Thanks for clearing that up. In short: Republicans bad, Democrats good. Always and without question. Thanks for clearing that up. (Boy, is this guy going to be disheartened by the list of Democrats that got contributions from Abramoff.)

All this legal chit-chat is moot.

The Republicans don’t obey the law anyway. Silly Democrats.

A declaration that legal stuff is moot, followed by a legal accusation. Whether or not something is Constitutional is pointless to Mr. Pacaut. We’ll keep this in mind should he ever be nominated for the Supreme Court.

Once 911 truth comes out, the Republicans will go down, and then we can actually sort out what is best for everyone.

Until then, it’s just one terror hit after another from Bush Co.

Because, by definition of course, that’s what they do.

I don’t think this is generally how the other half thinks, but it was interesting to note that some actually do think this way. No doubt it’s an extreme position, but if you look at the Daily Kos, you’ll find plenty of articles, diaries and comments that seem to come from the same point of view as this guy. Wonder how extreme this really is for the Left, or how mainstream it may be.
