Do you have anything pertinent to say regarding the actual MESSAGE? Or is all you are capable of is insulting the messenger? Do you have any comments on MY statements? Or is all your talk just an attempt to distract from the point? One of the frustrating things is how people remove these rights from people, ignoring concepts like "innocent until proven guilty" or "habeas corpus", and they give no good reason for doing so other than their convenience. They feel inconvenienced by standards of human rights, so they throw them out the window. Does it help national security? Don't make me laugh.

| Molly Ivins... What did you EXPECT her to write? That she thinks Bush did something RIGHT?  Of course, she MIGHT have written something positive, but it would only have been because it was plagairised. She apparently has a little problem with that.And isn't she the one who had to apologize, and retract her statement, after wrongly saying that there were more civilian casualties in Iraq due to the war, than were caused by Saddam Hussein? Yeah, she's a gem. But I digress. Here's a short list of Molly Ivins' OBJECTIVE writings: - Bushwhacked: Life in George W. Bush's America - Pipe Dreams: Greed, Ego, and the Death of Enron - The Betrayal of America: How the Supreme Court Undermined the Constitution and Chose Our President (2001) - Shrub: The Short But Happy Political Life of George W. Bush On the other hand, this is an interesting article - if only for its entertainment value, and the soon-to-be-released retraction and apology. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Perhaps Bush will dissolve Congress, declare martial law, and set himself up as President for Life? What a shame. We didn't even make the 500 year mark as a civilized society. The coming law gives the President the power to imprison US citizens as well as foreign nationals, and not just under arms, but at His discretion. Furthermore, if imprisoned at said whim, you have no right to challenge Him. You, a U.S. citisen, would remain imprisoned until such time as the President decided you could be released, if ever. No court. No evidence. No lawyer. Just you, sitting in a cell, being tortured (if He so wishes), until you die or He decides you can go home, whichever comes first.

| Oh yeah baby. We can hardly wait until Bush burns the constitution and declares himself king. It's coming man. All us in the red states are just waiting for the signal from Rumsfeld. I got my secret code ring just a few days ago. We have Fox news ready to send the secret signal at the right time. You will miss it because none of you watch Bill O'Reilly. It is going to be on his show at a secret time and only the conservatives know the password. All the other news services will go blank and only Fox news will be on. You wont even know what happened until it's all over. If you've bought a TV within the last 6 years we already know where you are because of hidden cameras relayed to to the NSA. We've been tapping your phones right after Bush hired those muslims to fly into the WTC and the demolition happened. Wooooeeeee, man are we gonna party soon. yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaa | |||||||||||||||||||||
