Answer 1

My favorite bumper sticker says, "If you're not outraged you're not paying attention."  I do think that our civil liberties are under attack and if we truly are patriotic and love this country we must turn this around and restore checks and balances and basic civil liberties.  Many cities around the country have started doing this by passing ordinances that they will not enforce or follow the provisions of the USA Patriot Act.  I think a better example of what is happening is when Rome changed from a Republic with a strong Senate and democracy to an Empire with Caesars who had absolute power, rather than fascists Germany.

Answer 2

Is this actually going on now? Bush can't hold this country hostage for more than his term, after that we can change what he has done.

Answer 3

Hmmmm, why does every point you make have an asterisks by it?  Doesn't that mean there should be an explanation to follow, or are we just supposed to swallow your narrow point of view?  

If you hate America so much than perhaps you should try living in a country that actually limits a persons rights, then you will see just how good we really have it here.

Answer 4

You are exaggerating, giving half truths, no truths,innuendos.

My  opinion is that you are loading the deck.

If you are so unhappy here you still have the freedom to go somewhere else.

Answer 5

Still can't get over President winning in 2000 can you?

The rest of this rant is just that- a rant.

Take a deep breath and go get a cookie, you'll feel all better
