Talk about the fox guarding the henhouse.

Remember, the government knows best. Just look to the past at all the wonderful decisions made by them.

I think you're confused about the US was ever founded for in the first place -- freedom. Maybe the people who don't like freedom should get out.

So an all-fox panel decided that foxes were not violating the rights of hens when raiding the henhouse? Imagine that.

Sorry about the thread hijack however I have a question to the brains of digg...I am trying to talk to my wife about these issues and she will not believe me about any of this and why it is important because "none of our freedoms have been taken from us..." which is what quite a few people believe because they can still watch TV etc. So is what I want to know is what site(s) are great for introducing this stuff to people like her. I have tried EFF and ACLU but they are far too broad in that they cover way more than this particular issue and trying to sort through everything can be a headache and even searching through Digg will turn up too many unrelated results.Any help would be appreciated. If you would like you can email me at thegreatcerebral@gmail.comThanks

I will fight for whats mine, whether it be material or my beleifs, but i will not do it if you only threaten to take it away, i will fight if you actually attempt to take it away. 911, far be it for you to beleive, was a threat, thats all, but we did exactly what "they" wanted us to do, we jumped in gung-ho and got ourselves into trouble.i say "they", because depending on who you talk to, "They" could mean anything, but thats not a subject for this post.

@sqladmin:You're on crack. The loyalists during the Revolutionary War were Tories, now known as republicans. They were also known as Whigs during the war of 1812, when they tried to make a deal with England (again), this time behind the presidents back. The scum that didn't want slavery to end left the Dem's in the 60's over the civil rights movement.Republicans,...traitors since 1776.-A Progressive Patriot3rd Generation US Veteran
