Selective Privacy.
I remember when the Patriot Act version 1 was passed. Version 1 of the act had ALL the good stuff in it. Police power was significantly expanded. Warrants? Do not need them anymore! Warrants and the court system was just going to help the terrorists!
All that was needed was a "request" from any federal agency - no reason was needed. And there could be no oversight - because after all this power would NEVER be abused! Oh no!
Of course, groups like the ACLU complained. The complaints were all the usual liberal things that only hurt the ability of the government to prevent more terrorism in America.
The conservative talking heads all said the same thing. It did not matter if they were on the TV or the radio. "If you are not a terrorist, you have nothing to hide!" So what was the big deal here? The only privacy being invaded was that of any terrorist! They welcomed the government to monitor them! After all - they are the REAL Americans - those who love America and have nothing to hide! Giving up a little bit of privacy is well worth not being blown up by the next terrorist car bomb! Only the ACLU would DARE place privacy concerns before security concerns!
Then the one and only Rush Limbaugh got busted. His private jet landed at West Palm Beach airport from the Dominican Republic, and then CBP agents did a routine bag check they found some blue pill.
Viagra. Apparently, Rush can not get it up without drugs. What a creepy thought huh? Rush with boner pills? If I were a woman, I would run FAR AWAY.
Anyway, this is not really a problem. After all, Viagra is legal so long as you have a prescription. And here is the problem - the prescription was not in Rush's name. The pills were scripted to Rush's doctor. Customs And Border Protection confiscated the pills. Law enforcement is yet to decide to press charges or not.
And why would such an upstanding citizen carry drugs that are NOT explicitly prescribed to him? Get this - "privacy concerns".
So NOW privacy is important huh Rush? When Bush is trying to pass laws that expand government powers to spy on people, privacy is NOT a concern. When Bush is engaged in secret programs to monitor the population, privacy is not a concern. When the power of the executive branch is doing EVERYTHING it can to grab more power for itself, it is not a problem.
But getting boner pills in your name - WHY THAT GOES TOO FAR! You have to draw the line somewhere huh?
I hope the State goes for blood on this one. I would like to see the deal cut with the State over the "doctor shopping" charge revoked. Arrest his ass. Put his ass on trial.
After all, the ONLY REASON the man must want his privacy is because he has something to hide! Something other than a boner problem that is! He should WANT to share this information! He should be HAPPY to have the prescription in his name, so that authorities can check to see what is in his medicine cabinet!
Remember - he said HIMSELF that only terrorists have something to hide. And he was trying to hide something! By his own words he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
