Reply #224: Absolutely Not

He is MY president!

I believe in THE law of the land. The original constitution. The job of the office holders are to be the defenders of the constitution, and the second they forget it, they need to be shown the door.

When congress and the president eat away at our rights and liberties by playing on fear... well, they need to leave that tactic with the mafia. Bush threw the 6th into the fire with the Patriot Act (do you wanna die? no? then let US rape your privacy!)

this admins. clear breach is the attempted theft of legal contractual bonuses to the AIG folks. Read the paper... can't do that. though this isn't a big universal breach of privacy.. this comes into play as a "sleeper". If congress can take away money from people who legally.. contracually (a word?) recieved this money... then they might as well tell all of us we can only make X amount of money. That helps a free market (which has produced the highest standard of living in the world) as much as getting hit by a train helps me to keep being alive.

Oh wait..... they did tell me how much I CANT make already. Given the chance, I will choose NOT to expand my business for fear of making over 250k a year. I did the math, the proposed "wealthy" tax would bankrupt me in 5 months. Seeing as how small business is America's #1 source of wealth... you get the idea.

take up arms? no.

That would require some dramatic action on the govs part... big time... like voting to omit the 1st, or especially the 2nd.
Thats not going to happen, because THEY know the repercussions

It's easier just to keep putting tiny ... tiny holes into it until one day it just falls apart... we are all watching it happen.

We can't wait until somthing HUGE happens to act.. because it wont. The question is now... where do we draw the line?

For me, I drew the line right in front of the patriot act.
