Prophecy.
It seems to have escaped most on this thread that this little bit of black humor perfectly embodies the schizoid nature of the ACLU: Freud called this projection, but it’s only an Administration like Obama’s that would get close to this kind of invasion of privacy and monitoring
of personal information, buying habits and worse, political “preference” or affiliation, not to mention voting patterns, and of course the ACLU defends Administrations like Obama’s . There is NO reason to think the ACLU means what it says here, because the implication is that all of this comes from the Bush Administration and their gross violation of our rights. Once again, Freud called this projection, and the ACLU has just revealed itself in a most naked way.
