Bob Barr, my right-wing hero, to speak in CT!
Former congressman Bob Barr will be in Westport, Connecticut on Sunday, June 26 to speak against the USA PATRIOT Act. I'll publish details when I get them.
I first heard Bob Barr speak at a Computers Freedom and Privacy meeting about five years ago, way back in the innocent days before the U.S. Government had the September 11 tragedy to exploit. Barr gave an eloquent defense of privacy, with an exhortation for the government to stay out of our private lives.
Barr was one of the "Impeach Clinton" extremists, but my guess is that if events were to produce another blue dress in another circumstance, he'd be just as adamant if the DNA belonged to a right-wing Republican.
Barr has become an ACLU consultant because he believes in the U.S. Constitution and hates the USA PATRIOT act. He's not your typical ends-justify-means, shape-the-facts-to-fit ideologue. He'll be worth hearing on June 26th in Westport CT. Stay tuned.
