First off...I went a little overboard earlier with my rant and would like to apologize for the wording, but not the message.

To add to what I stated about the Patriot Act, if we continue refusing to give Miranda rights and Civil rights to people just because of race and religion not only are we breaking Laws set in place in the Constitution but we are also giving an entire region and group of religious people EVEN MORE reason to hate us. We lied about our reasons for going into Iraq (cause of 9/11, weapons of mass destruction, both disproven), we never got the origional cause of 9/11 (and he's back making threats again). So what has been accomplished other than pissing of a region by acting as the world's police, and getting over a thousand of OUR troops killed in a war that could have waited until we had a plan to get out cleanly and safely (like Bush said before this war, which was another lie made by our President).

Now homeland security is better with Bush, you guys are saying. I ask HOW? By spreading out more than the majority of troops between Iraq and Afganistan (sp.) how are we going to react if we have a threat here at home that requires a large number of troop support?

By not getting Bin Laden after leaving that task to warlords who were on his side just months earlier, he's still around because we had to police the world and go into Iraq before we were ready and had plan to get out. That is just good leadership by Bush and Cheney if you ask me

We put a gap between the U.N and ourselves as well as many other countries, so started by footing the majority of the bill and loss of life in this war which is an UNCONSTITUTIONAL war. You ask how, because Congress never sanctioned this "war" which it was laid in the Constition was a must for WAR to be declared.

But never mind me, I'm just a normal Middle class American who doesn't believe everything he is told and isn't brainwashed by George Bush, the Republican party and sensationalizition of all these things by the media.
