Originally posted by SuzianneThose are some serious dents. The patriot act and the earlier act that eliminated habeas corpus are probably the greatest infringement on civil liberties since Lincoln was president.
Relax, kiddies, the Constitution is alive and well, despite the good-sized dents the Bush administration has tried to force into it.
Love your country, revere the Constitution, and fear your president.
Always.
And this includes the idiots that want to add crap like "the definition of marriage" into our sacred document. Last time I checked, the Con ...[text shortened]... ersonal freedoms, not taking them away. Idiots. They know not what slippery slope they trod.
Originally posted by SuzianneThe Constitution forbids "cruel and unusual punishment." Maybe we can oust Bush on this law?
Better than that, I say send him into inner city Detroit and have him live with a family there for a couple days without his Secret Service nannies. That'll put the true fear of God into him.
Originally posted by reader1107George Bush has stated in interviews a number of times that he is a born again christian.
I'm still trying to figure out why on Earth anyone would think he's a Christian. Because he's seen in a church? I've been seen in a parkinglot often -- doesn't mean I'm a car.
And he wouldn't lie,
After all, he is a born again christian.
[iFirst of all, you're from Canada so wtf?
Go back to fighting with the French Separatists or squabbling with the Indians over land rights and leave the USA alone.[/b]
Secondly, I would leave the US alone if they would just leave everyone else alone. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, it's the US that has their hands in just about everything.
The US wants to reduce social assistance and medicare to their own citizens, fine. Lower taxes to benefit only the top 10% of the richest americans, fine.
But when some clocksucker starts yammering on about how an INTERNATIONAL agreement outlawing torture signed by virtually EVERY country in the world needs to be changed because the US wants to legally torture people, well it's pretty hard to just leave them alone.
Originally posted by PhlabibitI'm not so sure about that. The only reason you would have voted for Kerry is because Bush was a bigger idiot. I know many people who voted for Bush ONLY because Kerry was a retard.
You can't 'vote against' someone. You vote for a person running for office.
P-
It is bad when we only have two whacko idiots running for president.
