I’ve always had a dual attitude toward Bolton. He has been strong on defense against foreign threats. He was good at the UN. But he never struck me as very conservative in other respects. Or at least, not that one could tell.
The problem is, we have a government and a security system that waves bunches of Muslims in burnooses on board airplanes without any inspection, that admits Saudis without even questioning them, that instructs the military to say that they must never question or offend Muslims but need to keep a tight lid on Christians.
You know darned well that any information sucked up by these programs will be used not to identify Muslim terrorists, but to spy on Tea Partiers and conservatives and gun owners.
If we’re worried about terrorists planning attacks in this country, then maybe we shouldn’t admit them by the millions and put them on welfare. Just yesterday, they were babbling about admitting any Syrian terrorists who feel threatened by Assad.
What that means, of course, is that the “security” put in place by Bush was mistaken, because even if he meant well, it was a very bad precedent, when even in his day all the security agencies were overrun by Clintonoids and leftists.
Don’t forget Bolton back domestic partnership. ie gays.
To me Bolton is socially liberal.
Do not forget: tea partiers and Christians and veterans are just a few officially declared by Homeland Security as considered to be likely terrorists now. They think they are justified targeting them instead of the Islamists.
“You know darned well that any information sucked up by these programs will be used not to identify Muslim terrorists, but to spy on Tea Partiers and conservatives and gun owners.”
You are correct to a point, the current administration will use it for their benefit to get ahead of their political opposition and the excuse of looking for terrorists will be a plus,(that is, if they use it.) I gress we will never trust our government again.
