While I was researching another administration faux pas today, I came across something that our twice unelected president said to some of his GOP cronies in December 2005. I don't recall if I heard this at the time. Either way it is worth bringing to the fore front again. When I first came across this today I couldn't believe that anybody, let alone an individual serving in a position that is supposed to protect the freedoms of ALL Americans, actually said it. I did a lot of research and after having found the evidence at many different places I have arrived at the conclusion that the following is true.
In December of 2005 a group of GOP Senators met with the dictator-to-be to discuss the renewal of certain elements of the Patriot Act. They cautioned the dictator-to-be that some of the provisions could be in direct conflict with the Constitution. Here is his reply -
"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face! It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"
Sources say the president, when told his insistence on preserving some provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives following the Harriet Miers Supreme Court nomination disaster, stated, "I don't give a goddamn: I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."
Are you scared yet? You should be. Is it no wonder we are in the perilous position were in and that our freedoms and the American way of life are teetering on the brink of destruction?
