Arrest Bush and Chaney for war crimes instead of the 78 year old nun and other war protesters!

If McCain is elected, I`m leaving.
If he`s re-elected, I ain`t coming back.

I''m with you on that. I said the same thing about the re-election of Bush, but stayed for economic reasons. Been looking at France as a possible escape haven from the US. If things work out over the next year or two, it''s hasta la vista, baby.

Here''''s the deal. If we arrest people in this country for protesting, well that''''s OK. But if another country does it, they are taking away the people''''s civil rights.

Another version of that double-talk is the way the US media likes to say that US or Israeli soldiers "arrested" someone from the other side. If the other side does it to the US or Israel, it''s described as taking hostages.

I have heard of Sister''s order. That war should haved NEVER stared in the first place. I am against it. No I don''t protest. I have never liked war. Its the leaders that have to answer to the lies. They were wrong to willfylly cross where their told they were not allowed. I ''d love to see that illegal war/s ended. there are war crimes..they are free that started it, Is it right that Amrican troops are where they should not be.

"Some of what was seized included knives, axes, bomb-making materials and anti-war literature."

a) uhhhh..."bomb-making material"? Like, stink bomb, smoke bomb, or something dangerous?

b) So possessing anti-war literature is a crime, now? Huh...PNAC has won.

Leftie IDIOTS who fled to Canada said that same thing back in the sixties. As soon as Jimmy ''Come Back Home'' Carter granted them amnesty; those morally compromised, weak kneed, phonies quickly abandoned their political beliefs and got on the very next bus heading south! Demonstrators DO actually demonstrate WHO & WHAT they REALLY are, if you keep watching them.

Well,that Un-American, unpatriotic, peacenik, they should just ship her off pronto, to Iraq.

=="We want to make it very clear we are pro-soldier and anti-war,"==
IMPOSSIBLE!
The Sisters of St.Joseph who taught this Viet Nam veteran had more sense than this poor old deluded madame. She''s been sipping the MSLSD mass media cool aid!

[excoachken]

Now that they have your attention, can someone explain why we are stillin a war that was started on lies, "accomplished" it''s "mission" three years ago and shows no sign of acheiving it''s loosely defined and ever changing definition of "Victory"?

[allurfears]

I hope the media swarm this! Two weeks ago we were tsk-tsking the Chinese govenrment for arresting demonstrators. These American people have been arrested without due cause.
Where are the networks? This should be covered in depth.

It won''t be. "Constitution", "Liberty", "Free Speech", "Bill of Rights" are concepts that have been demonized by the far right and other authoritarians in the USA. The media is cowed, just like in China, from exposing government excesses. They fear being labeled "un-American" by the Right wing propaganda machine. The American people are simply disinterested.

The police state is coming. Some Americans applaud it as they cower in fear of "terrorism" and are willing to sacrifice their liberty for false promises of safety. All the police have to do is make false accusations of "terrorism", and the cowards among us cry "protect us", allowing any excess the government practices. Later, when these charges are proven false, the media is silent to the injustices. However, the damage as been done.

Most Americans just do not care any more. They think that they will never lose their liberty and are blind to the police state being established by American authoritarian politicians and the rapidly growing "security" apparatus. By the time they realize we are no longer free it will be too late. Perhaps our downfall is inevitable.

They did this right on time..knowing that they would be arrested as soon as the crossed the line. China has nothing to do with this case.

The people arrested in China were also arrested after they crossed a line.

The burr under the saddle of the Republican GOP wont seem to go away so easily.

A presidential commission on ineffectiveness was proposed, but couldn''t be organized in time for the pending election. Sources say the president was advised to do this 3 years ago, but the idea was rejected then because he felt it would distract him from managing the Katrina disaster.

It was reported that while making a selection for his VP, John McCain selected and changed his mind so often, that he made an appointment with a psychiatrist to help him resolve his indecision. After making the appointment, McCain called the psychiatrist and cancelled his appointment, because he changed his mind again.

They found gasoline in the tank of her car, yarn in her bedroom nightstand, and horror-of-horrors MATCHES IN A KITCHEN DRAWER!

"78-Year-Old Nun Arrested At RNC Protest". What has the United States descended to under Bush? Arresting 78 year old nuns puts the US in the same company as bastions of human rights like China and Israel.

There are a lot of people that are just fanatic''s on various things and they scream and go on about something when they finely get caught. Let them do their demonstrating in a lawful way and they could still have their point heard.
