Do No Evil!

Thursday, February 7, 2008 by Unknown

Hold on there Scroogler.......... I'm not talking about Google. I'm talkin' politics!

"What does 'Do No Evil' mean?", you ask. Well, politically speaking, I'm talking about the Constitution and our government's general disregard for it.

Now I'm not just talking about the current administration, mind you. I'm talking about since the founding of our Nation.

It all started when George Washington with the urging of Alex Hamilton decided to implement the same kind of draconian excise taxes that they had fought so hard against for so long. Hence the "Whiskey Rebellion" of 1794.

Woodrow Wilson continued this tradition when he created the Federal Reserve, slowly stripping our currency of any real value.

And finally we have George W. Bush. What can I say that hasn't already been said. The Patriot Act, the suspension of Habeas Corpus, the list goes on.

I must say I find it quite amusing when people are surprised that Dubya does what he does when most if not all of our elected officials throughout the history of this nation have done the same thing.
He's only following precedent.

Now, should he follow precedent? I don't think so. The Constitution is a pretty damn good document when it comes to laying out what the federal government can and cannot do. But what do I know, I'm just some plebe.

So....... What does "Do No Evil" mean? It means people, especially politicians, should mind their own damn business and let others live their lives as they see fit, as long as they don't intrude upon the freedoms and liberty of others. And I think that's all any of us really want; To live our lives to the best of our abilities and in peace.

What's it say in the Declaration of Independence? Oh yeah, that we all have the rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. So go out and exercise your rights people.

Peace.




P.S. Go Ron Paul!!!!!
