It was bad enough when Bush was listening to our phone calls, but now the administration wants to peep at our Internet searches. Will Bush turn Google into a Snoop Engine?
I can't think of anything less productive than searching Internet records. Anyone with half a brain has searched topics in which he or she disagrees. Indeed, after reading articles about Jihadi websites, I've looked them up myself out of curiosity. Believe me, I had no intention of changing my name to Osama and joining a terrorist camp in Afghanistan. But if this raw data had been collected by the government, might I be a suspect?
Put another way, homophobes love websites with gay content, including this one. Does that make them secretly gay?
Well, yeah.
Perhaps this was a bad example, but you get my main point, that intellectual curiosity will take us to all sorts of places on the web that do not reflect our interests, tastes or values. What we search is not necessarily a reflection of who we are or what we believe. Unless, of course, you keep returning to BigDicks.com. or BigBreasts.com - which confirms the fact you are a a size queen/king. But that is an issue for another day.
The last thing we need is Big Brother watching our private searches. But the US government's demand for millions of Internet search records from Google Inc. and other prominent search firms has alarmed people about the vast amounts of personal information collected by companies.
When did conservatives switch from limited government to unlimited government? Barry Goldwater must be spinning in his grave.

Yes, it's a scary precedent. I appreciate that google has been resisting the demand to hand over that information. But is there any convincing the public at large that there really IS an executive power grab going on? I'm arguing with my mother who thinks it's exaggerating to say so. She says only terrorists are being watched.
Google is a blue company (gave to Kerry and Dems); yahoo is a red company (gave big bucks to bush and repukelicans)-- case closed! Plus the FBI is complaining now because of all these frivilous phone calls and numbers etc that the administration wants them to investigate. They dont have time to do their real jobs. Bush is more paranoid than nixon was and truly the worst president in the history of our country. Will 2009 ever get here?!
