if this is true then all it means to me is this; one dictatorship trying to keep tabs on another dictatorship.king george is just as evil as chairman or joseph stalin or hitler. the major difference between bush and mao,mao didn’t have to use fear and lies to keep the people in check. he used coercion and guns,bush’s wet dream. the constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper.
