Never Let A Good Crisis Go To Waste

tennroof:

Next time you hear a Republican complain about big intrusive government, ask them how much more secure they feel now than they did on September 10, 2001. Then remind them Cheney’s Department of Homeland Security was the largest expansion of Federal government spending, payroll, and power since World War II. Do they feel like the Republicans gave them their money’s worth the last time they promised they knew what they were doing? And do they like knowing their phones are tapped?

You know, they try to talk about Rahm Emmanuel’s quote about letting a “good crisis go to waste”, all the while not noticing that the Republicans certainly didn’t let 9/11 go to waste. DHS, the Patriot Act, the war in Iraq, it was all “justified” by 9/11.
