It does indeed appear that there is consensus between the two parties on a king.

The monarchy requires money in the same way as our current weak Democratic government. And since it can't make it's own money, it must tax the people.

If we tax the people into submission they will accept the just rule of their government.

I wholeheartedly approve because the peasants will do whatever they can to hide their gold.

In addition to spying on the people's transactions, the monarchy needs the right to perform unlimited search and seizures, the right to a 30% tithe of all of the available crops, and the firstborn son of each generation.

Monarchy Now!
Damn it feels good to be the kingsta!

I might further add that, if it had been the BUSH Administration that had proposed these sweeping privacy violations instead of Mr Dodd, then the Hysterical Left would be screaming bloody murder about privacy violations.

It's interesting that when a Democrat proposes gross privacy violations for monetary gain, it's perfectly acceptable..

But when the Administration proposes simple surveillance for the purposes of SAVING LIVES and stopping terrorists, all of the sudden the Hysterical Left is ALL ABOUT privacy...

Ya know, there's a word for that.

It's called hypocrisy....

"Obama says he'll vote for FISA. Were we fooled again? Hillary-lite? Did we let a real President Dodd slip through our fingers."

If I see one more post of Hero Worship over Dodd, I am going to explode..

Take a look at what "President" Dodd is really like...

There is your "protector of the privacy" hero.... :^/

Hidden deep in Senator Christopher Dodd's 630-page Senate housing legislation is a sweeping provision that affects the privacy and operation of nearly all of America's small businesses. The provision, which was added by the bill's managers without debate this week, would require the nation's payment systems to track, aggregate, and report information on nearly every electronic transaction to the federal government.

""This is a provision with astonishing reach, and it was slipped into the bill just this week. Not only does it affect nearly every credit card transaction in America, such as Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express, but the bill specifically targets payment systems like eBay's PayPal, Amazon, and Google Checkout that are used by many small online businesses. The privacy implications for America's small businesses are breathtaking."
