Obama Was Wrong: NSA Employees Have Deliberately "Abused" Their Power - Slate

[bvar22]

24. I know that one is a favorite of Republicans, Libertarians, & Conservative "Reagan Democrats",

but the problem with THAT one is that it is not a "LIE".

The others are CLEARLY lies,
but The Big Bad Government DOES come & help us in countless ways every single day of our lives,
from the Meat Inspector who makes sure that the Big Meat packers don't sell us poison,
to the guy who makes sure that the Gas Stations sell us a measured gallon of gas,
to the guys who watch for Hurricanes,
to the guys who make sure that our Levees and waterways are safe,
to the guys who make sure there are no rat turds in our soup at the Cafe,
...ALL people from The Government "here to help us".


While Republicans, Libertarians, and "Reagan Democrats" LOVE to go around spewing THAT Big Reagan Lie, witness what happens when there is a disaster in their state, or the BIG Corporate Farm Subsidies come up for a vote.
The ones who love to mouth that LIE
are the first ones in line with their hand out.

I'm 63 years old, and chose early Social Security last year,
but I can't count how many times over MY life that our Government was "there to help me."
Of course, most of those times were back when we had a Democratic Party that actually gave a damn about Americans who Work for a Living.

Government "Of the People, by the People, & FOR The People" when it is working FOR the benefit of the MAJORITY of Americans....is a GOOD thing.
When it is run by Republicans, Libertarians, or "New Democrat" 3rd Way DINOs.... not so much.
