I hope that one day, you dial a wrong number on your cell phone that connects with an alleged “terrorist suspect.” I hope that the CIA, the NSA and/or the FBI then follow up, by first monitoring all your phone calls and emails. I hope they then “sneak and peek” in your house and your private possessions, not to mention your computer hard drive – where they’ll find that you regularly participated in seditious, anti-American websites (such as TP).

I hope they then detain you indefinitely without counsel for “suspected terrorist activities” – or maybe even render you to someplace very scary.

And then, I hope they waterboard you thoroughly to get the information about the terrorist attack you’re planning on America.

I hope that you’ll think back on all this – as they pour water over your cloth-covered face and you’re gasping painfully for every breath – and remember that this is what you WANTED America to be, and thank GOD that you’re being kept safe from terrorists.

When Bin Laden hears Graham and his cohorts speaking, I’m sure he’s sitting in a cave laughing his ignorant azz off, at how stupid they are. They are systematically destroying our freedoms in the name of fighting terrorism. I would have never thought the Republicans would be the ones who destroyed our freedoms. Their hero Ronald Reagan must be turning over in his grave.

YEAH. Go away.

She’s signing off.

that’s the basis of modern conservatism; everything was better “in the old days”. In this way, Republicans are no different from the taliban or the Muslim extremist rightwingers, which is why the Bush regime is so very busy destroying our Constitution and rolling back all the protections that women, choldren and minorities have gained with the help of progressives throughout the history of the United States. When I call rightwingers unAmerican, I am being quite serious.

I agree with you Marcus. If someone being held at Guantanamo is guilty of a crime, let him be held accountable by a court of Law. Keeping people in prison for a number of years without even the right to appear before a judge is 18th century thinking. Are we back to that period under W? I’m afraid so.

What are we going to do about that? Hopefully, no one dies before the next administration takes the reigns.

That is a big hope . . .

How many months? 12-13, we need to be sending in veggies.

Justices, including Scalia, Alito and Thomas can be empeached, seeing that Pelosi doesn’t have the wherewithall to empeach the disaster that’s in office, chances are slim to zero that any justices may be shown the door.

“Yet o. footie has no problem with the US being run a little like a banana republic ruled by a military junta.”

There. Better.

Don’t worry, rockyroad.

I took no offense. There was no harm done.

It’s our (mentally) little friend o. footie we should all worry about: He is for the administration that promotes illegal detentions, secret prisons, torture, and the abrogation of habeas corpus.

These are all unacceptable in a country that -supposedly- is a first-world, industrialised democracy. Yet o. footie has no problem with the US being run a little more than a banana republic ruled by a military junta.

And there are more like him. Way too many if you ask me.

Peace.

I feel so bad.

Sometimes when you’re on the receiving end . . . you (not you but me) become a bully.

Sorry.

I appreciate your posts.

The conversation is so important . . . thank you for following up.

Go Rockies! Go!
