protecting our freedoms?
We hear our multiple wars defended as protecting our freedoms. What exactly are those freedoms and be specific when you describe them giving examples you can see without using the words of public officials. Do I need to own my own congressman to have those freedoms?
The Bush has asked judges to dismiss lawsuits filed over the NSA’s domestic spying program, saying they would expose state secrets.
You know bush has no energy plan for America because he can't hide the price of gasoline. He'd make it a secret.
We hear discussions about what parts of the Constitution the president has to follow. We are told that as citizens we have a duty to serve our country. Question is how to do such a thing? Repubs and Dems are a bumbling couple arguing while the world burns. Tax cuts are seen as a reasonable political move while they spend money we don’t and won’t have. Information has no bias or political opinion. Hope is not a method.
What’s the end game with all the abortion/contraception limitations and the urge to have us breed: workers, consumers, and soldiers?
Senator Specter said he was opposed to a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and then voted for the amendment. This just happens to be an obvious example. Why would a Senator vote for something that he openly admits he opposes? There are two possibilities: 1. the senator is in a conspiracy. 2. The Senator is insane. Either way this Senator is not doing his job and isn’t acting in the interest of his people.
America is broken. It needs an overhaul. It needs a new engine, not just some replacement parts. When Janet Jackson had her shirt fall apart it took Congress 40 days to change the law. Congress hasn't done anything about providing a safer workplace for coal miners. The Republican Congress, instead of seeing to life and death issues for Americans, has been wrangling over gay marriage, official language, indecency fines and other meaningless foolishness. This continual dodging of real citizen concerns is criminal.
The media's job isn’t to decide what is fair to politicians. Their job is to report the news. Republicans have pulled a very effective switch on the press, substituting the concept of neutrality for objectivity. Whenever the press dares to report something that does not reflect well on the Repubs, it gets accused of having a bias.
