This article ought to piss off anyone who has even the slightest interest in seeing freedom and democracy in America survive.
Average, law-abiding Americans doing something as innocuous as paying off a high-interest credit card bill sets the American Gestapo (Homeland Security) into action snooping into their private finances.
This is the kind of nefarious shit that is typically done by totalitarian regimes intent on cowing and controlling their peasantry by using the levers of governmental power to intimidate, harass and bully.
It is fundamentally Un-American, it's outrageous, it's a blatant abuse of power and it should be illegal!!
What the fuck is happening to this country?? Are we so collectively shitting in our diapers scared of the big bad "evil-doers" that we are willing to allow our government to pry and spy into our personal lives and finances all in the name of some bullshit concept called "Homeland Security?" If a Nazi-like state is what we wish to live in, why don't we just cut to the fucking chase and re-name the Department of "Homeland Security," and call it the "Department of Spying on Normal, Law-Abiding Americans For No Goddamn Rational Reason What-so-Fucking-Ever?"
Here's another story that ties into this one -- your mail may be being read by Bush's spook troops. Some scary shit is happening in The Land of The Free and The Home of The Brave, and unfortunately the cowardly corporate whore media and the scared-shitless bunny pants citizenry are acting as accessories to the crime.
