I'm sick of watching Buxh write away our freedom
...via The Patriot Act(s)

While legions of "lunch bucket republicans" shrug their shoulders and say "I have nothing to hide", or "We have to fight the terrorists".

When Homeland Security was utilized to go after Bit Torrent for offering the Star Wars movie online, it should have sent up a red flag as to the real purpose of the organization.

When administration supporters like Rush and O'Reilly broadly label the ACLU or war protesters "terrorist groups" it should sound warning bells as to how vaguely the term can be used.

Instead, in an exercise of blind faith and subservience, these working class republicans throw their support behind the first president to go so boldly after the very rights and freedoms they find so unique in America.

"Freedom aint free" seems to now be just a catch phrase ironically used by Hannity and others to justify the invasion and occupation of foreign lands.

Overlooked: The invasion and theft of freedom in our homeland.
Forgotten: The memory that Americans vainly died to win those freedoms.
Ignored: The fact that no government on Earth ever handed freedom to its people.
Unmentioned: Regaining our lost freedoms can only be achieved at the barrel of a gun.

After watching President Bastard speak before a uniformed mass of State Patrolmen with shaved heads pleading to take these freedoms from the American people, I've had it!
I'm leaving the house and CNN for the day and hope I don't run into any his enabling supporters.

I have an earful and a big "thanks, Dumbass" to hand out to the first one I meet.
