It’s gone too far. I used to be a good Republican. I listened to Rush. I supported the economy. I went to church. I agreed that we needed less government and less taxes. And I still believe all that (well I don’t listen to Rush….that was soo 1995).
The governement that is in place now has got to be removed though. I’m not just talking about Bush. I mean the entire flipping thing. This new “torture law” has pushed me over the edge. NO ONE has the right to subject another person to our laws and not have the rights that were passed in the constitution and the bill of rights apply. What do I mean? If an “enemy combatant” is tried by US Military or anyone remotely related to the US then they should have the same rights. That is being taken away. And basically our governement, not just Bush, is giving the finger to the Geneva Convention by passing this bill. I do mean everyone in our government.
Many times the minority has been able to block a bill from passing even on the most trivial of points. If they can no pull the same kinds of stunts with this bill then they are just as guilty.
Below are links to 3 respected publications all commenting on this bill. Read them and take action.

If this law passes then it is the first step into 1984
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
