there's a key difference there, nixon was wiretapping a political opponent running against him...bush is just wiretapping whoever and no one gives a rat's ass about the average joe unless that joe happens to be themselves. and of course because the assumption is since you're white it won't happen to you, you shouldn't care.

but that same attitude is what allows the government to gain more and more power without people noticing.

and the people who do notice are just liberals and democrats (in this case).
