Loony

So, I just watched this ridiculous youtube video- that truly I can't believe I sat through. The guy went on and on about the evilness of Obama and I just sat there thinking, "Really?" So, I looked up to fact check what he was saying and found that lots of what he did say was false and I realized that, as he was calling liberals loony tunes, I am proud to be one. I am proud to be a loony tune liberal! I feel that us loony tune liberals tend to be for freedom regardless of what the "right" may think. One example, which most democrats in office opposed was the Patriot Act. "The Act increases the ability of law enforcement agencies to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial and other records; eases restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expands the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities; and enhances the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism-related acts. The act also expands the definition of terrorism to include domestic terrorism, thus enlarging the number of activities to which the USA Patriot Act’s expanded law enforcement powers can be applied."

Just crazy-- and glad to be loony.
