I know you are, but what am I?

"Today, in America, George W. Bush or any of his henchmen can simply point their finger at you, declare you an enemy combatant, and have you incarcerated indefinitely in a secret prison without charge or representation, where they have institutionalized torture and murder.

And for those Americans who think they are exempt, and don''t care about foreign citizens or their rights as human beings, think again.

You may have heard the term "Habeas Corpus" tossed around a lot lately, and heard that we have lost the right to it, but do you know what that means?

It means that you no longer have the right to be brought before an impartial judge to protest your imprisonment, or provide evidence that the charges against you are false.

For example, when Bush secretly imprisons an American citizen he doesn''t like he can simply say that they are an Afghani national caught on the battlefield of Iraq, even if they were actually a loyal citizen living in Boston who was illegally abducted at the mall while shopping.

And since you no longer have the right to Habeas Corpus you will never have a chance of the truth being told, and will be at the mercy of Bush''s psychopathic brethren for what remains of your lives.

Welcome to fascist America."

Gosh.

The torture and murder of anonymous citizens by your own government isn''t enough to keep you awake?

Wow.

You are a hard audience to please.

"...To ST

Given the time, I believe that Americans would indeed come to their senses and abandon both groups of corrupt "politicians", but the key phrase is "given time"... Seeing the state of the US economy... one wonders if there is enough time left to turn such a big ship from its course as it teeters on the edge of demise...?

It depends on how much "American" is left in Americans, and whether we can, as a people, see the impending coral reef.

If we have lost sense of the freedom that we have forever advanced, and the constructs of justice that we ourselves helped to consolidate and affirm, then we will not survive as a nation.

However, as George Washington said, I cannot believe it would ever come to pass.

And his faith was not blind.

Thus our 225 years of freedom.

"No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain these blessings than United America. Wondrously strange, then, and much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to neglect the means and to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to so plainly; I cannot believe it will ever come to pass."
George Washington, letter to Benjamin Lincoln, June 29, 1788

"Any country, who by power of its moral authority and appeal to conscience obtains world predominance, will certainly perish when asserting its right to immoral and unconscionable crime."

However, even if he is silenced, there is a slow but steady drip, drip, drip, of truth that keeps escaping even the firmest of walls erected by Bush.

-----------------

I totally agree! There is a grassroots movement in America to stop this Administration who claims to be working in the name of God from Fu*king up America even more. Except, to many people just don''t care and are (and you can''t blame them) scared to stand up for fear of loosing their jobs or something else. There is a concerted effort by the republicans to silence any and all criticism of this Administration.

This is the new america - the corporations are republican in nature and don''t want a concious and thinking working base - it hurts profits. I know there were rumors in my company that someone was let go because they spoke out against the war and the republican party publicly.

This is America right now and it needs to change - so stand up and fight for your freedoms.

It would be interesting to see the American reaction if one of Rodriguez'' family members had a fatal "accident"

To ST

Given the time, I believe that Americans would indeed come to their senses and abandon both groups of corrupt "politicians", but the key phrase is "given time". Generations of brainwashing cannot be overcome in a couple of years.

Seeing the state of the US economy, the fragile position of the US dollar, combined with the accelerating decline of social structures, and the saturation of corruption, one wonders if there is enough time left to turn such a big ship from its course as it teeters on the edge of demise...?

"This guy won''''t talk or name names - if he does the Bush Admin will have his family assasinated! It does happen and with Cheney in charge - you can be IT will happen!

You are, unfortunately, most likely correct.

However, even if he is silenced, there is a slow but steady drip, drip, drip, of truth that keeps escaping even the firmest of walls erected by Bush.

And most of the drips are coming from Americans still embedded within our government, and as always Americans are our greatest asset.

But they are terrified to step forward, and are under incredible daily scrutiny, with random polygraph tests being the least of their worries.

So we must all abandon the Republican and Democratic parties, register as non-partisan voters, and leave both failed parties desolate, without finances, and without power.

Then the few American politicians left may have the courage to finally stand for our Constitution, instead of there next hoped for chairmanship, and register as Independent candidates so the American people may vote for them.

And at last we''ll have a plethora of candidates just begging to be elected so they can restore our Constitution, the rule of law, and bring justice back to our great nation.
