For anyone who dares to call peaceful protesters wackos or delusional, I would dare to differ and perhaps even call them cowards or traitors. The whole article is worth a read. These considerations would aptly apply to anyone, anywhere and in any country. Always.

Good article, these are power unheard of in the history of this country. Clearly unconstitutional, but just today in a article I clipped, the Attorney General is saying that judges have to right to rule on terrorism cases, just the president our fearless leader. If these people are not facists i don't no what you can call them then?

Correction, Judges have no right to rule in terror cases.

Mark Twain wrote, "In the beginning of a
change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned.
When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing
to be a patriot."

Is this a description of President George W Bush?

BTW, President Lincoln suspended habeus corpus in certain areas during the Civil War.

Pardon the typo...habeas corpus

Is this a description of President George W Bush?

Is he respecting human rights or upholding and respecting and defending the law or the constitution? (Are YOU?)

Uhm... I would say the answer to you question is so obviously apparent and can only ever be a big fat NO. Since you can even ask such a question, I suppose your answer to MY question would be, that you are just a Loyalist? Hmm? Naaa, I'm of the opinion, that you are one, or both, of the two other words I would use to describe non-patriots.

Yes, President Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus and got slapped down by the Supreme Court for doing it. Don't disrespect the memory of a great man with the name of a lousy one. If nothing else, George is like Jackson or Polk, to very bad Presidents....

That comment is as grotesque and incomprehensible to me, as you are. How you can condone the undermining of the very things you CLAIM to be defending by taking to weapons?!?

And no...I definitely don't want OR need the likes of you on my wall! You know nothing of honour at all!
And as for saying thank you? You can kiss my *'**!!

For the record, I did not say that I agreed with Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus. I only brought up the fact because Lincoln was quoted in the clip. Lincoln was actually "slapped down" by a circuit court which he ignored.

Appears you've kind of lost your cool, Mstaken...I apologize for not attributing the last part of the quote as coming from the movie, "A Few Good Men". I thought you would recognize it.

It truly amazes me how the party of "tolerance" can be so intolerant. Wasn't that the message behind the post? Who is really so blinded by their loyalties that they can't/won't look at the other side? Enjoy your liberty!

tolerance is good. let's try it here. Especially in this context, it makes no sense to protest war and then act in the microcosm as we were at war. Peace, peeps. It's a great article.

Being anti-war or defending what's right and just by no account means I cannot get as outraged or horrified or angry as the next!

I just don't feel the need or see the necessity or the justification for picking up a gun or breaking the law or killing my "enemies" or destroying freedom or undermining justice, just to get my way!

And no, I didn't recognise the movie quote. A movie using that sort of language would NOT be on my "must watch" list, I reckon!

(PS) I am blinded by no other loyalty, that to the loyalty of justice and peace. No man, no government, no-one has my loyalty, if these basics are not upheld by them and I HAVE looked to the other side, I just don't like what I see. The answer to all our problems is not war, or killing or breaking the law or anything. You may try to justify it as "necessary", but it is needless and only worsens the thick we are already in. Violence or law-breaking or unconstitutional behaviours or breaches of human rights or liberties are just plain wrong. Wrong!

And I do apologise for losing my cool, but the "you should thank me" bit was just a little too.....well... what word to use here?... just too much....i reckon you know what I mean

Patriot..currently biding my time masquerading as a loyalist...
