NY Times gets soused by House of Reps

Okay- the government now not only wants to be able to tap all your phone calls, but now wants to be able to have access to all your financial transactions.

The resolution for the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program, as specified in the NY Times article and mentioned on Yahoo! News:

The resolution "condemns the unauthorized disclosure of classified information" and "expects the cooperation of all news media organizations in protecting the lives of Americans and the capability of the government to identify, disrupt and capture terrorists by not disclosing classified intelligence programs such as the Terrorist Finance Tracking Program."

Since when has the Media supposed to be controlled, nay! Supressed by the government.

My friends, I am smelling the whiffs of fascism. What next? Silence the media. Silence the naysayers. Got Gitmo? Got Auschwitz?

My dear fellow countrymen and women: Stalin and Hitler started small, by stripping your freedoms and rights little by little. What we are seeing within our own country worries me deeply.

Send a strong message that you expect the media to always be against the government. Only then will there be checks and balances so that our government does not take away our liberties and freedoms. That it does not overstep it's bounds!
