It's Bush who has taken us back into the Dark Ages, specifically to a time

the right of Habeus Corpus, the foundation of liberty, but now it's
quaint--like the Geneva Conventions.

I'm working toward a day I can show my daughter the America I once
knew--y'know the one with a Constitution, a Bill of Rights. Those "just a
god damned piece of paper" things as George put it.

Bush. The small man who thinks he's fighting a war and is too damnably
stupid to realize he lost the war when he started taking the rights of
citizens. He lost to his own fears. He has taken from us what no foreign
invader ever could. Damn him.

Sorry for this OT post.

No problem.

And isn't wonderful that you can say this and even give your real name
(if you so chose) without the fear someone will come to your door, take
you away and cut your head off. This is the situation in much of the
Mid-East right now.

Our rights are only as good as our will and ability to protect them.
Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War, are you
going to damn him, too?
