Wiretapped phones, now Internet?

In the months and years after the Patriot Act was passed, the mainstream media and Democrats tore Bush apart over the surveillance of American citizens and the trampling of civil liberties.

Here's an excerpt from a story in 2006:



Do you notice you don't hear conservatives criticizing Obama over his surveillance policies? That's because they supported Bush and the Patriot Act and they remain consistent in their view.

Republicans saw the Patriot Act as a necessary tool to wage a war against terrorism. Democrats saw the Patriot Act as a tool to wage a war against Bush and the Republicans. But now that they're in power, they not only support those surveillance tools, they're expanding them.

So I ask again, where's the outrage from the very people who screamed about civil liberties for seven years while Bush was in office? And I'm not talking about liberal bloggers. I'm talking about the mainstream media and our elected officials.

Excellent question! And, shall we ask about the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party?

Don't know if I have that much time.
