Why do I believe this story? The clause, “because it sounds so right,” comes to mind. Almost forty years after having chuckled at RAMPARTS articles as having been humorous flights of fancy, I now believe them to be true and after having witnessed the daily un-American drivel and brazen deceit gushing from the White House, belief in the Capitol Hill Blue Rant is certainly not forsaking reality. Let our fearless leader’s own words settle the discussion. W: “There’s an old saying in Tennessee. I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says: “Fool me once…” (embarrassing pause) “… shame on…” (an agonizing pause) “Shame on you…” (an incredibly forlorn pause) “If fooled, you can’t get fooled again.” Was the president was attempting to cover two famous WHO renditions—WON’T GET FOOLED AGAIN and MY GENERATION?

Now that he is officially sworn in as the new head of the Central Intelligence Agency, Gen. Michael Hayden plans to build a vast domestic spying network that will pry into the lives of most Americans around the clock.
President George W. Bush told Hayden to “take whatever steps necessary” to monitor Americans 24/7 by listening in on their phone calls, bugging their homes and offices, probing their private lives, snooping into their financial records and watching their travel habits.
Can I prove this in a court of law? No. Do I know it is happening? Yes, without a doubt. Enough sources within the CIA, FBI, NSA and Pentagon have come forward in recent days to warn about Hayden’s plans for an expanded, consolidated spy network aimed at Americans, not terrorists, and violating numerous laws that prohibit such activities against citizens of this country.
