Why Is Bush Waiting On Military Commissions Act?
Well, the thing about the "Death to America!" folks is, the relationship we have with them is simple: they hate us and want to kill us and we, in return, want to kill them before they kill us. They aren't eroding the constitution, those guys. The only people who can erode our constitutional freedoms are those in OUR government, and they have been doing so. A little freedom gone here, a little liberty gone there, and pretty soon we won't have much left.
I love my country. I've gone into combat defending our ideals. I've earned a combat patch and some medals. I've been shot at. I've put my life on the line to defend our national interests. But I draw the line at anything that threatens the liberties, freedoms and rights that our founding fathers gave us. If we give those things up in order to fight terrorism, then you know what? The terrorists won, by making our own government turn us into something less than what we were before.
