Could The Feds Seize The Internet?

Security: A Senate bill lets the president "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "nongovernmental" computer networks and do what's needed to respond to the threat. Didn't they just collect our e-mail addresses?

I guess I am just a paranoid member of the VWRC. It has literally become a running joke at work. Everyone is using the following phrase:

"What if George W. Bush had/did/said/acted like { fill in the latest outrage from Count Barackula }?"

Questions for your liberal co-workers:

(h.t. to various authors, in e-mailings, for these)

• If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
• If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
• If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to “Cinco de Cuatro” in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the fourth of May (Cuatro de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?
• If George W. Bush had miss-spelled the word advice would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as “proof” of what a dunce he is?
• If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree on “Earth Day”, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?
• If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually “get” what happened on 9-11?
• If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?
• If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?
• If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again 10 times within years, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had accused, let's say, teachers or any other public servant that was just doing their job, of being stupid, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush installed a dozen 'czars' with power over spending, but no congressional oversight, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had used the Secret Service to contact all of the people who held signs, wishing his death, like Obama did, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had hired a proven tax-evader, to run the Treasury, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush had allowed ACLU attorneys into Gitmo, with the pictures of CIA agents and their families, would you have approved? (H.T. Valerie Plame, before you answer that one)
• If George W. Bush had set-up a White House e-mail account, to collect the names of those who disagreed with his policies, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush set-up a one-on-one with your kids, through government channels, complete with lesson plans and assignments, would you have approved?
• If George W. Bush was eagerly awaiting the passage of a bill, giving him the power to disconnect you from the internet, would you have approved?

..... Yes, We are only six months along this stretch, people! Feel free to add.
