A couple of years ago, I was in a local pizza joint waiting for my pizza.   And as is the norm today, there were cameras all over the place recording everything that was happening – so one might ask – what else is new?!

Yet as I was just sitting there minding my own business, something new did happen that really caught my attention.  

There was a young mother there, talking to her child.   And as she was talking, she pointed to the monitor that was sitting on the counter and said:   “See, you are on TV!”

Being from a different generation [or, more like a different planet], I could not help but to think:   What in the world is she teaching her child?!!!!!!  

But even more disturbing, I started to piece all these different, individual things together.   And after doing that for a certain length of time, I came to the point where I really started to wonder to myself.  

I now wonder out loud:   What have we become as a nation?!

Cameras are everywhere – recording our every movement – to now even include at street intersections!

Keep in mind that it was no too long ago that we had that national debate about recording the phone conversation of our enemies and terrorists overseas.

And, let us not forget the famed workings of the Church Commission.   That misguided effort became one of the biggest causes of 911.  

Yet, the sad truth is that the Congress will never admit wrong to anything – even though more times than not, they are the primary cause.  

The goal of that Commission was to protect the activities of the extreme liberal elements within their camp from ever being discovered and watched by the government – such as those Communist sympathizers, our own home grown terrorists, and all.

Thus, it has been within that same spirit that the liberal camp has operated ever since.

It is so comforting for me to know that our liberal friends are so concerned about preserving and protecting the Constitutional rights of foreigners overseas – you know – the rights of those who are not even citizens of America and all those who are not even physically within America!

So now, let me get this right --- according to the liberals --- it is ok for someone to spy on both you and me almost every where we go now days [with both of us being American citizens; and, having this occur to us while we are living within America itself].  

But as a nation, we must set the example, live by the law, and by all means, we just cannot and should not infringe on the rights of the foreign terrorists – even when they are no where near America!

OH, SUCH A SHINING BEACON ON THE HILL; AND, HOW DEDICATED TO THE CAUSE THEY REALLY ARE!

I must really be a stupid or something!   That just does not make sense to me!

Now, the liberals would probably be quick to point out that a business spying on someone is not the same thing as a government doing it.   

Well, I simply respond:   How ignorant can someone get?  

Do they mean to say that the government could never get that tape if they wanted it?   Of course they could!

BUT even more importantly – the facts are still the facts ---spying is still spying!  

Is not someone or something still watching every action by you and me.   Is that not spying – regardless of who does it, how it is done, and for what reason it is done?

The method has just changed.   Cameras now do it where as at one time, people used to do it. 

So thus, I must ask:   What is the big difference between Stalin’s Russia, Hitler’s Germany, and our good old USA?!!!!!

IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT ALL – THERE REALLY IS NO DIFFERENCE!  

SPYING IS STILL SPYING!!!!!!

Might there be just a tad bit of hypocrisy within the liberal camp?!
