5-26-06 NIMBY

For the past five years, under the aegis of fighting the Global War On Terror, the President, Congress, and even the Courts have been steamrollering through the laws of this country, international laws, and traditional protections that Americans have taken for granted since the ratification of the Constitution. Our government has attacked a sovriegn nation under false pretenses and lies, our government has captured people without any due process, held them in prisons for years without any judicial process and tortured them, our government has accessed the private communications of US citizens without any warrants, ... the list of lying, stealing, corrupt and criminal activities by our government representatives is too long to enumerate here. All of this has proceeded along with the blessings of all three branches of our national government.

Suddenly, we are shown that this wholesale slaughter of the very fabric of our freedom is "not okay" when one branch of the government does it to another branch. It's okay to run roughshod over the rights of everyone else in the world, but when it's a member of the US House of Representatives, apparently, that's where they "draw the line"!

It's really pathetic how this administration, congress, and crony-stacked court system has become the machine of destruction, but when it's turned on one of THEM, the whole attitude is suddenly one of outrage.

THEY are outraged????

We are witnessing the self-destruction of our government, folks... what took generations of blood, sweat, and tears to build is being destroyed in less than a decade. And the only slightest hint of outrage coming out of Washington is this pathetic cry of, "Hey! Not In My Back Yard!!!"
