Yikes! Lets just throw in a "Sich heil" for fun too.

Freest? What do you mean freest, shouldn't that be simply free. Why are there
limitations placed on freedom. Granted as mind bogglingly naive as your rant
is, you have the right to speak it. Of course as recent news shows, some people
who disagree with Bush are not quite so lucky. That of and in itself completly
invalidates every word out of Dubbya's mouth in my opinion. It seems to me that
you are so wrapped up in the War on Terrorism propaganda, (hey I fell for some
of it too) but you are missing the most evil threat our country has ever faced.
Coruption from within. The fact that millions of Americans do not take up arms
against such blatant acts of Government Terror, is disgusting at best.
