Privacy Is Now A Relic Of Our Past

Lord Bute is aiming a blunderbuss at colonial America; a member of Parliament, tells Bute “I give you that man’s money for my use”, the American responds, “I will not be robbed”. To the right, a blindfolded, Britannia is ready to stumble into “The pit prepared for others” behind her, “The English Protestant town of Boston” is in flames. On the left is a monk with a gibbet and a cross, behind him, a Frenchman with sword raised; on a cliff and forming the backdrop to Bute, is the city of Quebec.

Most of us write Emails at our fastest typing speeds. We never assume our writing of little notes will be put under the microscope for the scrutiny of the world, including the halfwit name callers we see commenting on Liberal blogs. After this latest invasion of Sarah Palin’s emails, that idea of writing personal informal notes is a dangerous myth. Use your short cuts and cute abbreviations at your own peril, the Liberal Media now owns and controls everything you write.

They are having problems finding fault or corruption within Sarah Palin’s Emails, but they can subjectively condemn them as being the product of an eighth grader’s intellect.

I am the recipient of Emails from many educated people, some with doctorates. The notes all have at least one flaw. These cyber friends write their personal notes and make grammatical errors, misspellings, word omissions, and various other mistakes; how could these bright minds make these mistakes? It is very simple, they assume these are personal and private conversations with a friend and confidant; indeed, they are not meant to be examined like the Federalist Papers. They are considered confidential notes similar to a trusted conversation that may be whispered from the other side of the word, but now, we know the Liberal Progressives have demanded that such conversations can be made public and dissected at their whim.

Are we entitled to our privacy, can we expect to keep our personal communications from the scrutiny of this, want to be totalitarian regime, and those of the future. Should we now write every Email as if we were writing a formal letter to a college dean. Are we to assume that our personal correspondence can be used against us by totalitarian regimes of the future: letters can be burned and disappear forever, but a simple Email written at 60 words per minute will long survive your funeral.

Take care my friends, its possible the Thought Police may soon be evaluating your every message of the past and the future.

Obama and the Progressive Socialists have their own survival to consider and they are becoming desperate. Is it possible that they might want to investigate all Emails that are disdainful of their governance.

It’s true, most of us will never warrant an invasion of our privacy, but if you rise in the political world to achieve fame or fortune, rest assured you will come under scrutiny. However, this scrutiny is a double bitted ax. You can trust that many Democrat politicians are extremely worried that their previous personal communications can now be examined by the media and the public, virtually at will.

It is hilarious when unintended consequences bite you in the hind end. In case they think they can delete all the self-incriminating Emails, they might as well not waste the effort, they are preserved better than any historical document in the national archives, grammatical errors and all.

There are many who would relish digging into the personal lives of politicians to catch them taking bribes and cheating on their wives, but it is infinitely better to catch them in the act, than to destroy personal liberties. Of course giving alleged criminals like Rangel a pass because of his sanctimonious indignation at being accused of crimes that we lesser souls could expect to do prison time for and then slapping his hand is an indication we can no longer trust the House to pursue its own investigations. We are left wondering if he knew too much about the corruption among the other House members to be prosecuted with true justice. Maxine Waters is another case that arouses suspicion among the public.

Freedom is not a political issue, the pendulum should be a double edged sword. I probably detest corruption more than the average American and I don’t care from which side of the aisle a criminal or pervert sits on, corruption is corruption, but we must maintain our freedoms. To encroach on our freedom to find every criminal in government would be counter productive and destroy our government and its freedom. We will never catch all the criminals, but it is far better to have a few get away than to compromise our liberties.
