Why I use Clipmarks
I started here hoping for meaningful dialogue; an exchange of ideas with which to broaden my understanding of politics, religion, environment and most importantly the people and values that people base their beliefs upon. Although I have found a lot of rhetoric, sarcasm, and fools, I have also found a lot of wisdom, considerate communication and discussion that although occasionally heated, seems productive.
I admit I do enjoy witty comments, and snark, and am not above using these vehicles of expression myself, I try to see past these things to the heart of the issues.
I thoroughly enjoy the diversity of topics clipped and of people clipping.
Also, it's an interesting little microcosm.

Has Our Government Lost Its Mind Completely?
zasel
by zasel  4-9-2007    7
 This is where the hysteria caused by government overreach begins to infringe on individual and constitutional rights. I certainly believe that all reasonable actions should be employed to keep us safe, but common sense and decency has to be considered in doing so. The terrorism watch list should not be used to discriminate or intimidate people who voice opposing opinions from our government, or who participate on peace marches. Hell, aren't these two of the rights we are claiming to be fighting to protect in our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? The Bushies and neo-cons have gone hog wild and they just decided that their own beliefs permits them to use the Constitution as toilet paper.

My National Security Letter Gag Order
jklugman
by jklugman  3-24-2007    1
 Yesterday the Washington Post published this anonymous article by the owner of an Internet access business who had been ordered by the FBI to provide them information about one of his clients. The FBI also ordered him from telling anyone about this request. The owner successfully fought the FBI, but to this day he is still gagged about the FBI's request. In the part I clipped, he talks about how the gag order has been "stressful and surreal" and how in effect the FBI ordered him to be a "secret informer for the government". Via Josh Marshall .

Replace a U.S. Attorney Killed by Terrorism?.......
schreibe
by schreibe  3-14-2007   
 I didn't have room to post this next paragraph...but here it is in all it's gory! Disgusting! ======================================================== In firing the prosecutors and replacing them without Senate approval, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales took advantage of a little-noticed provision that the administration and its Republican enablers in Congress had slipped into the 2006 expansion of the Patriot Act. The ostensible purpose was to allow the swift interim replacement of a United States attorney who was, for instance, killed by terrorism. But these firings had nothing to do with national security — or officials’ claims that the attorneys were fired for poor performance. This looks like a political purge, pure and simple, and President Bush and his White House are in the thick of it.

 I think it is time for US citizens to consider world opinion of us. Disapproval can quickly alienate support or worse.
