PILGRIM: And it certainly seems like a clear stand against the president on terror, a fairly risky move given that any day there could be another attack.----------------
We, the people are being CONSTANTLY THREATENED by 'our own people'.....who needs enemies when 'we' have 'friends' such as this???
Where's the discourse about peace, harmony, and attempting to live up to ones full potential????
"We" are constantly being terrorized from within.....and I'm totally sick of this sh*t!!!!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2325355Mr. Conyers is IN FACT spending a considerable amount of his time condemning and working against "terrorism", when he works against a president who is forcing and/or threatening to coerce the compliance of the rest of the community (the US) into supporting an illegal war and subversion of the Constitution of the United States -- by this president CONSTANTLY remindering US citizens of an unnamed/unidentified 'enemy' who is a frightening aspect <the terrors of invasion> or will commit violence (as bombing).
John Conyers is a true patriot.
