Too bad the Right has us so far outgunned. If Jefferson is right, it may come to that.

Now is the time to swing leftish quite a way to bring George Bush and Company to justice, not just get him out of power. Let us abort the Bush plan with a free choice.

Has a single Democratic Senator or Congressperson spoken out against this effort to further “sovietize” the United States? I used to believe that I had fallen asleep (like Rip Van Winkle) and when I awoke Mussolini had inexplicably taken control of our government. I now have come to believe that Bush and his supporters and enablers in both parties are such thorough totalitarians that they are actually more akin to Joseph Stalin than they are to Mussolini. Jefferson and Madison must be rolling over in their graves

I wonder how long will it be before when we are placed in torture cells for expressing our disapproval of our goverment. If Congress passes this legislation we would have opened a door that we can never close again.
