Do I fear that the patriot act may infringe on my rights as a citizen? Yes,
but that is an allowance that I make for safety, much like long
airport lines.

Very good quote. Essentially saying let someone else think and act for me.
There have got to be better ways to achieve anti-terrorism goals than promoting
fear and division. I wonder how events would have played out post 9/11 had a
less corrupt President been at the helm.
You know that Patriot Act was some serious legal work and mighty in size when
submitted only a few days following the terror, makes you think that it had been
on somebody’s agenda for a looonnngg time. Bush, methinks, may have been just
conveiniently corrupt and privy to all the agendas and agenda makers of his
father’s and Regan’s era. It’s a dynasty thing.

paid an even more gruesome price. People died. Who can now tell us why?
Don’t hold your breath waiting for an asnwer from Shrub. He already has what

Yes, yes he does. Black gold. Money, money, money.
I do not believe that Bush will burn. He’s got too many generations of status
quo, folks who learned from the Nixon Watergate era how to cover-up, and more
than a few brain-washed scapegoats a la Ollie North to even feel the heat. That
is what gets me. He will walk away untouched and those members of our Nation
who hold long term positions of power (broad definition) will continue to
manipulate what they can when they can.
Just thank (insert your deity here) that there are folks trying to adhere to the
principles and ideals of America as it was founded.
IMHO, Bush believes he is answerable to no one, but given divine right by God.
This is proven by his lack of concern for his actions, no desire to see them
approved by other members of his government and denial of anything that is not
affecting himself personally. So call him what he thinks he is and you get the
picture: King George.
