Uh, do the kids these days really not know about the post-9/11 Patriot Act?
Well Obama 'fixed' it.
Made it even more draconian but called it the Freedom Act.
Shit like that works every time.
God I miss the pre-9/11 US, when the worst thing happening was bad jokes on SNL about Bill Clinton and cigars.
Now read some books and see how much Bill Clinton is directly to blame for most awful shit we're dealing with today, and while you shouldn't come to justify 9-11, you'll understand its motivation correctly.
Bill Clinton and neo-libs like him is why we go right instead of left as a society.
Maybe not the best example.
At that time this sleezebag (and others with power) got away with a lot of sexual misconduct.
And in his case probably rapes.
Minimising it as him being some naughthy schoolboy and making jokes about is not really something I miss.
