I spoke to Soon

Just after I get done complimenting Oh My News for actually writing a decent article which is posted below, I click on the next story and read this:

President George W. Bush is regarded by many as a quasi-fascist dictator. This is thanks to both his domestic policy, in which the state assumes it has to right to spy on all citizens for whatever reason, and to his foreign policy, encapsulated in his infamous “war on terror” campaign.

For those with some interest in history, his quick stopover in Hungary last week further enhanced this image, as his visit to Budapest seemed to mimic that of Hitler to Paris 65 years ago. Not only were both visits very short, but the locals were also kept well away. In essence, the streets were completely deserted; it was like a visit to a ghost town.

People this is why Oh My News is garbage.  How in the world can anyone compare President Bush to Hitler?  I didn’t care much for the Democratic party but I would never compare them to Fidel Castro or other leftist dictators.  As those who read this blog regularly know, that I don’t really care for the Korean President Roh Moo-hyun either, but despite differences in opinion in how to handle North Korea, I would never compare him to Kim Jong-il.  Plus the domestic “spy” program is not for spying on all citizens for whatever reason as claimed.  The program is only for phone calls entering and exiting the US from suspect phone numbers.  The government is not listening to someone from California talking to Aunt May in Oklahoma.  For example if a military unit in Iraq finds a sattelite telephone number after a raid in a terrorist’s address book, that number will be logged by the NSA who will then listen to any calls from that number entering into the US.

Articles like this one are absolute garbage.  I didn’t even bother reading the rest of the article because reading these first two paragraphs tells me that whatever else the author is writing is probably also exaggerated and untrue.
