Oh, you made it sound like law abiding citizens actually lost basic freedoms. When, of course they didn't.fff said:Cal said:Which basic freedoms have been taken away from you?fff said:Because Congress turns to the Attorney General to enforce their rulings. They've subpoenaed Carl Rove and Harriet Miers to testify before Congress. Both just ignored them. Who does the Attorney General work for? The President of the United States. Why do you think Alberto resigned? Because he was going to be implicated in illegal activities.
IMO, after this election Congress needs to set up a special investigation unit, prosecutor, whatever, to investigate all these things and report to the American public. It's mind boggling to see how the Bush-Cheney Administration damaged our country's basic freedoms. Even if no one goes to jail, there should be an accounting, an acknowledgement of what went on and what it's cost this country.
Read it again. Oh, right, you just want to twist words. Won't work. I never said ANY basic freedom had been taken away from ME, I said "damaged our country's basic freedoms".
The Bush Administration arrested at least one American citizen and held him for years without an attorney or charges. A basic American right is legal representation and to be charged in a public court. Some civil rights groups claim they held as many as 20 Americans without charges or attorneys.
Our right to privacy has been damaged with all the illegal electronic surveillance done by this Administration.
Now that Bush has claimed those rights for his Administration, do you expect the next one will happily give them up?
I am certain that the terrorist organizations that would like to see us (well, maybe not supporters like you) dead appreciate all of the spinning and rhetoric you do to help make their goals within reach, again.
They should also be appreciative of boobs like you that give your all to keep that oil coming in from the Middle East, and keeping a lid on domestic development. Not drilling in ANWR....talk about bending over and getting rammed by special interest zealots.
