Opinion:
A final thought before bed tonight...
By Jack GrantYou can say I have become more ideological if it makes you feel better.
Do this one thing for me, however:
Think about how exactly the Democrats are threatening our traditional liberties and freedoms as the recent acts passed by the Republicans have...
The Real ID ActThe USA PATRIOT Act
Implicit approval of the Presidential power to declare any US citizen an "enemy combatant" without judicial review
The creation of a extra-legal prison in Guantanamo Bay, placed in that location for the very reason that it is outside the purview of the US court system
If you mistrust our court system that much, then why do you support ANY part of our government, for the courts are fully one-third of the three-part separation of powers that was to provide checks and balances against tyranny....
Who exactly is damaging our government more at the present moment?
I have always been suspicious of those who seek power, and repeatedly, they prove my suspicions well-founded.
If you are completely comfortable with the recent trends, then rest well in your indictment of me being ideological.
If you are NOT happy with what you see, THINK about it instead of being a knee-jerk ideologue.
I despise the Democrats.
But I absolutely hate what the Republicans are currently perpetrating on our system.
What is true patriotism?
Perhaps it is pointing out what is WRONG, regardless of who is perpetrating the wrong.
