I Bet The American Public Really IS That Stupid

I bet that in the coming days, we'll see polls showing that a substantial percentage of the idiot American public believes the following to actually be true:

President Washington, President Lincoln, President Wilson, President Roosevelt have all authorized electronic surveillance on a far broader scale. - Alberto Gonzales to Congress.

They don't say this shit randomly, guys. They say it because they know perfectly well that Americans are stupid enough to go along with it.
