- fairley7, on 12/05/2007, -4/+104If you think "it can't happen here," consider how blatantly the Bush Administration lied about Iraq and now Iran. Even the exposure of their lies did nothing to alter their behavior. Iraq and Iran were governments that didn't bow to US bidding, and they had oil. Therefore, they and their societies must be destroyed and replaced by compliant puppets. These criminals will do what it takes to grab more and more power, and if their feeble rationalizations are shown to be bogus, so what, no one is stopping them.
Well, they are making similar rationalizations to strip us of our rights and to add to their powers. This so-called "war on terrorism" is simply a fabrication, the analogue of the lies that are being spun to justify the invasion of oil-rich countries so that they can control them. They also want to control US, to turn us into slaves. Unfortunately, too many of us are sitting back in denial, or apathy, or a sullen hostility.
I recently read the Declaration of Independence. It never resonated to me before as it did this time. They too were under the thumb of the arbitrary and brutal authority of "King George." It can happen here. In fact, it has. - RealSurreal, on 12/05/2007, -5/+84Can you say fascism ?
- Shaggy6ster, on 12/05/2007, -4/+63How do people ever justify having voted for this man?
- cherwilco, on 12/05/2007, -3/+50after years of telling everybody I know about the bush (nazi) administration, "I told ya so" doesn't quite cut it now does it?
- AshamedAmerican, on 12/05/2007, -4/+50One can only hope this will end up in the history books of future generations.
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -1/+43John Warner Defense Authorization Act is passed. The act allows a president to declare a public emergency and station US military troops anywhere in America as well as take control of state based national guard units without consent of the governor or other local authorities. The law authorizes presidential deployment of US troops to round-up and detain “potential terrorists”, “illegal aliens” and “disorderly” citizenry
Hmmm, disorderly citizenry. - Aviatrixt, on 12/05/2007, -7/+41T-minus 412 days, baby.
- jaymzdean, on 12/05/2007, -5/+36"They hate us for our freedoms."
Well said, George, well said. - gak001, on 12/05/2007, -1/+31See - Bush is being proactive. He's trying to make them hate us less by getting rid of some of those freedoms.
- zhulien, on 12/05/2007, -0/+29It's actually very funny and sad at the same time - a country that could have had the potential to be a role model for the world but instead becoming what they promoted Russia as being a couple of decades ago. Thank god USA exists to do this rather than were I live, but hopefully they don't follow suit here given that Howard is out! Honestly though, I feel sorry for you lot having such a loser in power, a dictator no less changing the country's economy and reputation for the worst. Growing up I always looked up to the USA, over the last decade or so, it has been a continuing spiral down - it could be fixed, but at this rate I don't know when. If all goes well, Bush will get life in prison! Come on US residents, you should be able to get him in front of a court!
- revenge7, on 12/05/2007, -6/+34Every time I see a "W'04" bumper sticker, I want to ***** kick the driver's ass.
- jaymzdean, on 12/05/2007, -8/+34Amazing how the Bush Regime has done more harm to the Bill of Rights than everyone else going all the way back to 1791, isn't it?
- AshamedAmerican, on 12/05/2007, -7/+31The truly sad part is that's about 2,918 days too goddamn late.
- johnhummel, on 12/05/2007, -0/+23We've moved back and forth on civil rights since 1791. And just because something is "under attack" doesn't mean that there can be greater harm caused along the way.
In 1791, white landowners were "voting citizens". Eventually, this changed to "black and white males". Then "black and white females". Then it was "anybody over the age of 18, and you can't go making Jim Crow laws to prevent it".
In 1791, we said "freedom of speech and no unreasonable search and seizure". Then we had the Alien and Sedition acts. Still later, we had the Supreme Court enshrine the Miranda Rights.
So yes, rights have been under attack in 1791. And 1776. And 1651. And faaaaar back. But for the last 200+ years, as a world, we've generally been doing better. The world even agreed that many of these rights are for all people under the Geneva Conventions.
Until 2001. Then, habeas corpus is gone if you're a "terrorist" - wait, make that "enemy combatant". Geneva conventions? Well, that's a "quaint" notion - throw it out. Trial for the accused? No, just lock them up in sensory depravation areas, then hit them with loud music to disrupt their sleeping patterns just like the studies in 1960's that showed you could torture a person that way without touching them - only call it "enhanced interrogation".
Yes, rights have been under attack for a long time. But in merely 6 years, there's been a lot of rolling back of those rights while the US was shocked after 9-11. Luckily, people are starting to wake up and call ***** - and hopefully we'll continue to do so, before the next round of attacks weaken our rights even further. - Flamancot, on 12/05/2007, -3/+25sweet fancy moses.... i don't want to be around if and when the ***** really hits the fan. can you say american holocaust?
- jbird71, on 12/05/2007, -2/+23Oh, right. I forgot about the new Federal Minority Point System. For every minority in your cabinet, you get to remove one of the articles in the bill of rights.
- buckrogers1965, on 12/05/2007, -0/+20I seem to recall women, blacks and gays gaining additional rights somewhere between 1791 and today.
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -6/+25I apologize for doing so.
- AshamedAmerican, on 12/05/2007, -3/+22SELF hating? No I happen to be fine with myself, its the fascist dictators in place and all their henchmen I hate. Why would I make a comment about hoping our future generations will learn of their treachery if it was America I hated so much? Not too much of a thinker are you? Next time get a clue before you judge someone, and some intelligence before you try and make another sub-par witty comment.
- vanza001, on 12/05/2007, -1/+19Its already been decided. I think this is bigger than Bush... even bigger than neo-con. When Hiliary comes into office she's going to continue the neo-con agenda. We're about to have neo-cons on both sides of the isle. At least in terms of what programs make it into existance. Actually its gonna be worse cause on top of that we'll have socialist programs too. It's really sad actually. I totally belive a revolutionary power has taken over our government. I think it all has alot to do with Skull and Bones and Bilderbergers, whatever they call themselves. They are the collection of mostly ridiculously powerful rich people who advocate a NWO and who actively work towards one in all that they do.
- revenge7, on 12/05/2007, -0/+17This article is so depressing. Its bad enough knowing about all of this *****, but seeing it all in a list is too much.
- badqat, on 12/05/2007, -5/+21Uh unnn...he's going to declare martial law and become dictator for life...
- bratpack8, on 12/05/2007, -3/+19This is truly disgusting, but if anyone thinks it all started after 9/11, then they need a history lesson. Think FDR, Wilson, Johnson, Lincoln, Teddy Rosevelt, Clinton, and on and on and on and on. It really has to stop.
- MikeGlaz, on 12/05/2007, -4/+19Replace "They" to "I", "us" to "you" and "our" to "your" and you'll find out what he really meant to say.
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -1/+15Franklin D Roosevelt, under Presidential Executive Order number 6102, confiscated all privately held Gold in the United States on April 5, 1933.
- arcooke, on 12/05/2007, -4/+17There's nothing quite as pathetic as trying to act tough over the internet.
- ghamal, on 12/05/2007, -2/+14So what? 'm latino. I don't think Alberto Gonzales is a role model for latinos or ANYBODY else. I'm human before I'm latino.
- LoJack, on 12/05/2007, -1/+12To compensate, we've expanded our right to invade any nation. Yes!
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -0/+11Section 2.

Bush destroys "Posse Comitatus" and you think this is crapola? - BleeBlap, on 12/05/2007, -2/+12Yeah the New York Times, USA Today, Wikipedia, Wired and the text from Supreme Court decisions are definitely left wing blogs.
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -12/+22Bush is the world's greatest terrorist!
9-11 was an inside job!
"Former Italian President and the man who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio
Francesco Cossiga has gone public on 9/11, telling Italy's most respected newspaper that the attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies." - CaptainSponge, on 12/05/2007, -0/+9I was reading for ages, and then I realised I was only up to the beginning of 2003...
- MaTT2011, on 12/05/2007, -2/+11You, sir, are a PHENOMENAL idiot.
Please do not breed, for the good of the human race please do not breed. - jgzman, on 12/05/2007, -2/+11For the record, we could nuke the entire US into ash, and the sun would continue to rise in the east, set in the west.
Yes, a silly pedantic point, but that particular phrase really gets on my thungas.
Second, yes, they are. Congress says "release the documents" and not just as an opinion, as a law. I have the right to see those documents, BY LAW. The President decrees otherwise. Second, if the government makes my medicine illegal, my civil rights have been violated. I have the right to the best medical care I can buy, or that can be provided to me. - Azerael, on 12/05/2007, -3/+12They didn't.
- jaymzdean, on 12/05/2007, -1/+10um...you mean NEOconservatives. Which is what YOU are. Real conservatives HATE Bush. NEOconservatives, like you, HATE LIBERTY and the U.S.A.
- LordByr0n, on 12/05/2007, -2/+11Fascism!
- searob1, on 12/05/2007, -1/+10Remember, Republican attack dogs were dogging Democratic presidential candidates just as they're doing today. It would be sad if we get another Bush-like Republican.
- Flamancot, on 12/05/2007, -2/+10you sir, are a stupid idiot.
- Scheitbag, on 12/05/2007, -2/+10Hey everyone! its another Internet tough guy...
- wakananda, on 12/05/2007, -0/+86ft above American fascism, watching the grave fill in. That's the perspective we should be working for, not minimizing current assaults on the Constitution by citing previous, thrwarted attacks - as if that had the least bearing on the matter at hand.
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -3/+11did you rtfa?
/not a lefty - revenge7, on 12/05/2007, -2/+10Native Americans are worth 2 points.
- RonBurgundy76, on 12/05/2007, -0/+8Doesn't matter much anymore. Democrat = Republican = same old *****. Most of them are corrupt and won't change the status quo.
- 16x9, on 12/05/2007, -2/+10He said the truth?!?! What's that supposed to mean?
No one is denying that president Bush has placed into responsible positions people from a wider pool of ethnic variety than we are used to seeing. I think that's great! But doing so certainly hasn't make him a good president. And frankly, I find most offensive your implication that we who look for more in a president (like competence, for example) are "racist." - Azerael, on 12/05/2007, -2/+10Every day nuking the entire US into ash begins to look like a better and better option to ensure the rest of the world still has the opportunity to continue to watch the rising sun.
- JoEBlack982, on 12/05/2007, -3/+10lol you threated to shoot him with your guns? What a pansy.
