For those not already nauseated by the constant spin surrounding the bought candidates vying to seize power as President of the United States, you may have caught Jeb Bush’s comments he made at the National Security Forum in South Carolina. Jeb Bush clarified for the world a number of key facts about who he is, what he believes, and where he stands on issues. In short, he is not compatible as the leader of a free republic and certainly should be disqualified as anything more than a traitor to freedom and liberty.
To summarize Jeb Bush’s positions, it is worth beginning with the fact he has nothing but contempt for the Fourth Amendment and the Constitution. In fact, it appears he disregards the rule of law completely and believes, like President Obama, that the presidency affords him unlimited power. He utterly dismisses civil liberties arguments respective of governmental overreach and clearly wants a bigger, more powerful police state. Specifically, he stated that NSA’s domestic spying program needs to be expanded and made more powerful. I guess intercepting and storing every single electronic transaction, statement, text, email, and phone call to name just a few areas of focus isn’t Orwellian enough for Jeb. He also stated that he couldn’t find a single example of how NSA’s spying violated the law. Clearly Jeb must be constitutionally illiterate or more likely thinks a president is not subject to the rule of law and checks and balances of our constitutional republic.
Jeb didn’t stop there. He went further and criticized private industry for developing encryption technology that be believed made it harder for the government to spy on your communications. Not only is his lust for watching you creepy, it is downright un-American and a total violation of the Fourth Amendment for the government to pry and snoop to the point you cannot be secure in your own correspondence and private discussions. This alone is enough to disqualify him forever from politics. However, he added icing by stating he believed the Patriot Act should be revisited stating; “There’s a place to find common ground between personal civil liberties and NSA doing its job. I think the balance has actually gone the wrong way.” Jeb must have forgotten the NSA’s mission was to spy on foreign states, but not on our own citizens. Stating the balance has gone the wrong way is as frightening as it is dangerous.
One must conclude that Jeb believes nothing less than total government surveillance of your every personal move is not only justifiable, but necessary. However, what scares me more is that there is almost no public outrage demanding he leave the presidential race as unfit. One must conclude that Jeb believes nothing less than total government surveillance of your every personal move is not only justifiable, but necessary. If you want a globalist sponsored puppet to usher in a total police state, then vote for Jeb Bush. As for the rest of us, run him back to Mexico.
