At least Bush has not gone as far as Lincoln or FDR (yet ; )
May 10th, 2007 at 10:16 amYou know, civil “liberties” such as arresting lawmakers or internment camps for Japanese Americans again?
May 10th, 2007 at 10:23 amHey everybody, look at me! Pay attention to me! It’s all about me!
May 10th, 2007 at 10:26 amPlease don’t try and compare Bush and his farce in Iraq to any of our great presidents who led during a time of actual struggle, because it is wrong. The Civil War and WWII can be argued to be existential struggles, i.e. the struggle to maintain existence. This current boondoggle is nothing of the sort, though they would like to define it in that way. Actually, we aren’t even legally at war.
May 10th, 2007 at 10:29 amAlso, in those struggles the entire nation was mobilized to the effort. And what has been done for this farce? We’ve been told to go about our lives, so there is absolutely no comparison that can be made.
aw, c’mon, guys! jake is just thinking that, sometime in the future, say in 10 YEARS or so, _if_ he gets outta Mom’s basement and gets out into the real world, he’d like to get in on some of that Helliburton action- buy a share or two of that stock-
“this is a good lil’ ole war, good fer bidness (TM)
May 10th, 2007 at 10:46 amSo like Lincoln’s and FDR’s executive orders, these aggressive anti-terrorism programs are only temporary, right? These aren’t permanent changes to law enforcement, correct?
I mean, we’re not going to turn into a country where you’re guilty until proven innocent, are we?
We shouldn’t expect the federal government to tell us “As long as you are a loyal citizen, by our standards, you have nothing to fear”, right?

May 10th, 2007 at 12:07 pmFox, meet henhouse…
May 10th, 2007 at 12:08 pmAnd we’re suprised because…..? had to correct all of the mistakes in the report, just like in the global warming report. Ya just can’t get good help anymore!
May 10th, 2007 at 12:22 pm“civil liberties are not trampled” Yeah, right. And I’m a cumquat from Queens too.
May 10th, 2007 at 6:07 pmGetting damn close to 1930’s Germany and Italy here in the complacent and “christian” USA under this crew. In some cases, we are already worse. Unbelievable. 9-11! 9-11!
