Operation Acoustic Kitty
rockville writes: "Remember the Cold War, when intelligence agencies had no oversight and a blank check? Now that those days are back, here's a good object lesson: the Chicago Sun-Times has details about Operation Acoustic Kitty, a CIA program to wire a cat to spy on the Soviet Union. Feel free to be either shocked at the depravity or shocked at the stupidity. The first prototype is also a nominee for Worst Presentation Ever." Hmmm. Last time I posted a story about cats, I got angry email from cat-lovers. Let's see what happens this time.
Um, genius, in 1966 LBJ (liberal Democrat) was in power.
Hey, genius, I'm not talking about the White House. I'm talking about the intelligence agencies and the military.
In any case, got news for you: it's left wingers that have always been interested in mind control. The Soviet Union and Hitler ring a bell? Who constantly wants larger and larger governments? That would be the left wing.
The Nazis were right-wing.
The difference between right wing politics and left wing politics is that the right wing generally wants to expand the power of law enforcement to catch criminals, whereas the left wing generally wants to expand the power of government to control the opposition party and enhance their own power.
Well, let's see. Over the entire length of Clinton's presidency the right used every power at their disposal to try to bring him down. The independent counsel, the impeachment hearings, these were both abuses of government to get back into power.

You really believe that? That's kind of hilarious.
The Republicans have tried to regulate speech, the press, and sex for a long time. If they could have their way they'd throw out half the Constitution.
If you want to see this in action, take a look at how Democrats manipulated local elections for 40+ years to keep control of congress.
Now you're just not coming to terms with basic facts here. The 97th, 98th, and 99th Congresses were controlled by the Republicans.
Lets look at some even simpler facts. There are more registered Democrats than Republicans. The fact that over the past 40 years Congress has mostly been controlled by the Democrats is simply because more Americans believe the same things as the party promotes.
