But when you read the Patriot act and Military Tribunal Bill it looks like they’ve already taken our rights. I am so glad the Democrats took over. At least they can hold Bush’s feet to the Fire. We don’t have a big enough majority in the senate to do much. I hope Bush ends up in Prison along with the rest of his bunch. Condi needs an orange jumpsuit too. I hate these bastards. They are going to launch another “false flag” attack. I’ll suspect Haliburton will be instrumental in it. Something about Dubai is that they want port access. Haliburton will deliver whatever it is they need. This shit is crazy. With their backs against the wall Cheney will stop at nothing to save his ass.</p> Don’t scare me like that.

Yes, it is a nightmare, but you are not dreaming.

I have a cartoon from gary Larson that has characterizations of people lying asleep in bed in hell, with the comment by one person to another:
” No, just go back to sleep, charlie, you were just dreaming, we are STILL in hell”
Seems rather appropriate now!

After all, why bother re-inventing the wheel on something so important as a new constitution, when someone else has already taken the time and effort to do all the work already:

Know your rights all three of them

Number 1
You have the right not to be killed
Murder is a CRIME!
Unless it was done by a
Policeman or aristocrat
Know your rights

And Number 2
You have the right to food money
Providing of course you
Don’t mind a little
Investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation

Know your rights
These are your rights
Wang

Know these rights

Number 3
You have the right to free
Speech as long as you’re not
Dumb enough to actually try it.

Know your rights
These are your rights
All three of ‘em
It has been suggested
In some quarters that this is not enough!
Well…………………………

Get off the streets
Get off the streets
Run
You don’t have a home to go to
Smush

Finally then I will read you your rights

You have the right to remain silent
You are warned that anything you say
Can and will be taken down
And used as evidence against you

Listen to this
Run

I would like to see Congress eliminate from the military budget all funding for recruitment. All funding usually appropriated for recruitment should instead be redirected to the care of injured soldiers and vets.

If W’s war in Iraq is so obviously just and noble, the Dept. Of Defense shouldn’t need to recruit. Volunteers will flock to the military-starting of course with the College Republicans.

Jim @ 99

That’s some logic there, hence it will never be accepted. I have a 15-yr old and have been fearful for several years about the recruiters and/or possible conscription.
