FBI Surveillance

Emi and Phil's post today about FBI surveillance is quite disturbing - and reminiscent both of Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911" and the U.S. in the time of Richard Nixon and J. Edgar Hoover. It also reinforces something I have believed for a long time now - that the current administration in particular and the Republican Party in general, are moving us in a direction that is decidedly NOT conservative. In fact, it is radical in its extreme right-wing approach. The extreme right wing has a name, and it isn't democracy.
