Mention the PATRIOT Act, not a word on the oppresive regimes of the Communist Chinese and the mullahs in Iran.
Wouldn't want to actually prevent terrorist activities, would ya? No, of course not.

still get taped when I call back there. It's the "click"...and at times you can hear them breathing...or music in the background. Sometimes they pick up before the phone connects, sometimes after. I suppose they enjoy the chats I have with my gf...

That's not them bugging you -- its your girlfriend's lover checking to see if you're still on the line before bouncing into the living room naked and stroking himself while dancing around with your old toothbrush shoved up his ass.

This is the same administration that has been attacking health care and family planning for women both in the US and abroad. If liberation of Arab women is so important to them, what about basic needs and services for women at home?
