Grumpa Joe's Place

My Flag Flies Everyday

This morning I watched Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher being interviewed on Fox News. I am infuriated at the treatment this man has received and continues to receive. His privacy has been violated to the ‘nth degree, but no one seems to care. Why? Because the liberals believe that “the end justifies the means.” I’ve heard that doctrine before. It comes from the Machiavelian manifesto of protecting your ass. Where is the ACLU? I thought they were supposed to take up the cause and protect us from such invasions against our civil rights. I guess because Joe is not queer nor an athiest, he doesn’t count. Last night, I saw an ACLU agent asked about what the ACLU was doing about Joe the Plumber, “they are looking into it.”

 Where is the law called HIPAA? I know, I know, HIPAA affects only my medical information. Why then, does every bank, credit card, and business give me the third degree when they call to sell me something. Immediately, they want to verify who I am by asking for my personal information. I believe, Joe’s personal privacy has been violated under this law. His civil rights have also been violated by someone who should be sensitive to civil rights violations. Of course the Ohio worker who dug into his records was certainly working for “change you can believe in.”  That made it okay to dig deep and smear a citizen who had the audacity to ask Barack a legitimate question.

What else can we believe in: The ACLU will work for gays and athiests only, the HIPAA law applies only to medical records, its okay to destroy the life of your fellow citizen if he challenges your candidate?

Come on Barack, if you had balls, and really walked the talk you could make it right for Joe the Plumber by asking for the resignation of the Ohio worker, and apologizing to Joe.
