The Obama Administration supported Financial Reform Bill currently before the Senate contains the authorization of broad federal power to collect and monitor data on the business practices and spending habits of individual Americans, as well as American business. This bill is coming from the same crowd who, even after 9/11, vigorously opposed nearly every aspect of President Bush's Patriot Act because, they insisted, it violated the privacy rights of American citizens.
I'm afraid, however, the motivations for the new bill do make their own kind of sense. You see for liberal Democrats the real threat to America was never a deadly and determined Soviet Communism. Nor is it now a terror-practicing radical Islam. The real threat to America is American business itself, producers and consumers.
Does somebody out there still want to defend these guys as true friends of liberty?
