At Federal Hall on Wall St., Ashcroft wrapped up a 20-city tour touting the controversial Patriot Act by invoking God and the losses of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

In his speech to a packed room of city, state and federal law enforcement officers, Ashcroft - a preacher's son - argued that God had chosen America to lead the fight for liberty.

"Providence, which has bestowed upon America the ability to keep the world at liberty, also gave her a great trust - the trust to provide security," he said.

"We accept that trust in the belief that liberty is the greatest gift of our creator, in the belief that liberty must be protected and in the belief that as long as there is a United States of America, liberty shall not perish from the Earth," he said.

5. We need to sick Tom Paine's Common Sense on him.

When he resurrects the notion of 'divine providence' bestowed upon any one nation and its 'annointed' leader - he needs a dose of Common Sense. The idiocy of this man stuns me. I can scarcely believe that he passed any bar exam, let alone law school with his sanctimonious down-the-rabbit-hole moral relativism.

So.. he would champion 'liberty' by first ridding eveyone of it at home?
