Yes indeed, a very loud sigh of relief is in order, with thanks not only 
to Mr. Armey but to the hundreds of others (of all parties) in the House 
and Senate who, along with thousands of civil rights organizations like 
the ACLU and millions of concerned citizens, immediately took up the 
essential fight to halt the Bush administation's attempts to install both 
a National ID system and the T.I.P.S. (Terrorize the Innocent by Police 
State) political spy plan.

Still, the sigh doesn't last very long when one considers the frightening 
implications of this latest campaign in the radical rightwing War against 
America. The Bush  admistration is now attempting to install a system of 
citizen spies  modelled after the infamous Stasi Secret Police of 
Communist East  Germany. The T.I.P.S. fraud is an act that is nothing 
short of terrorism  for anyone who respects our U.S. constitution (at 
least I know this has  succeeded in shocking and terrorizing every fellow 
U.S. citizen I have communicated with the past week).  More than any of 
their other heinous  assaults on our constitution and the bill of rights, 
these most recent  actions unequivocally demonstrate the nationally 
destructive, blatantly  fascist, and clearly evil intentions of the 
installed Cheney / Bush  regime. They must be deterred at all costs lest 
our Democracy and Civil  Liberty are damaged beyond repair.
