I don't Care if YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRAT or OTHER
Edited on Fri Dec-23-05 03:31 PM by berni_mccoy
If You are an AMERICAN, YOU BETTER BE UPSET ABOUT Bush Spying on U.S. Citizens without a warrant.

Americans have given Bush TOO MUCH POWER as it is:
1. Americans have said it's ok to pre-emptively attack a nation on bad or falsified intel
2. Americans have said it's ok to torture enemies AND EVEN CITIZENS holding them without a trial or access to legal defense
3. Americans have said it's ok to Give the CIA, FBI and other agencies MORE POWER THAN EVER in the Patriot Act
IT IS NOT OK! AMERICA IS BECOMING THE NATION TO BE AFRAID OF.

We must STOP FEARING FEAR. Bush is USING FEAR TO CONTROL US.

"If you vote for Kerry, you will be attacked by terrorists."
"If you don't renew the Patriot Act, you will be attacked by terrorists."
"If you don't pass this spending bill, you will be attacked by terrorists."
"If you force us to leave Iraq, you will be attacked by terrorists."
"If you don't let us torture people, you will be attacked by terrorists."
"If you don't let us break the law, you will be attacked by terrorists."
"IF YOU CHALLENGE OUR AUTHORITY, you will be attacked by terrorists."

This is how the Administration has been TERRORIZING US.

STOP LETTING THE TERRORISTS HAVE WHAT THEY WANT: To Take Away FREEDOM FROM AMERICANS.

We MUST STAND UP and TELL THE WORLD that we won't ALLOW THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION TO TAKE OUR FREEDOMS AWAY.

If you do not insist upon this, then you are either a COWARD or COMPLICIT with the CRIMES OF THIS ADMINISTRATION.

IMPEACH them for the INJUSTICE TO AMERICA AND OUR CONSTITUTION. YOU MUST PERSIST AND INSIST. CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN TODAY!

3. Don't forget....
We have also let george get away with 9/11. That event is the central issue - none of the rest could have followed without 9/11.

6. YES!
I've been beating the PNAC...PNAC...PNAC/911 drum for quite awhile and I won't be happy - cannot rest - until this Bottom Line is exposed. I'm glad I'm not the Lone Ranger in wanting this to come to the forefront.

9. Yes...this is the issue that needs to be explored
Once the truth about 9/11 is exposed - on a large scale - the entire neocon angenda falls apart. EVERYTHING becomes obvious. I have often asked why NO main stream media has even mentioned PNAC. THAT is the story. If NYT and WaPO would run stories on PNAC and where their members are today, we'd be a lot closer to impeachment.

14. I've been pestering Corporate Media for AGES
re: PNAC, sending documentation to editors and individual reporters, but so far they've mostly ignored it except to mention it in passing. Helen Thomas recently pointed the finger at PNAC in one of her speeches, but even she hasn't done a full-blown work-up.

Jay Rockefeller knows about them and I'm hoping he'll expose them when Phase II of the Intelligence Committee Report on Pre-War Intelligence is released.

In the meantime, I'm on a one-person campaign screaming "PNAC...PNAC....!!" every chance I get. On a positive note, the link in my sig line has gotten about 3000 hits in the last month, so word-of-mouth is spreading slowly but surely.

4. Well said!
I've been thinking for quite some times that the true terrorists and definately the greatest threat to our nation are the people in the White House.

5. Yes, but 'murcan sheep are led with the Goering principle:
Edited on Fri Dec-23-05 03:37 PM by AlinPA
"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy.

All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

-Hermann Goering, S.S., Nazi Germany

I am tired of people lazily giving up what IS NOT theirs to give up. It belongs to humanity.

12. Isn't bush the one who said that freedom is a gift from God?
So why is he trying to restrict God's gift to us?

Some people think bush is making his power-grab because he's sincerely trying to do what's in the best interest of America. Yet, somehow, every additional power he asserts for himself benefits him, not us.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and wonder what country I'm living in.

13. yeah, but God fixed the elections so W would rule over us, so he gets

15. Bush is Brilliant!
Bush Logic:
1. They hate us for our freedoms, ergo they attack us with terrorism.
2. Bush then does everything within his power to reduce our freedoms.
3. Given #1, They will attack us less because we have less freedom.
4. Less Terrorism!

16. I've never thought about it that way - it is brilliant
If we can only reach a point where the overlords own everything and we all just become slave labor, with 'original intent' religious persecution - like stonings for disobeying the lord's word, then we will have nothing to fear from terrorists!

The logic is unassailable. If they 'hate us for our freedoms', then no freedoms = no hate.

Pure Republican genius.

18. I once remarked that I was a free thinker;
And a woman near me said that there was no such thing. This was done before I became confrontational. Now I would have a come back for her, standing MY ground and sticking up for MY rights.

Happy Holidays!
