Reply #44: So, tell me how our Constitution has honored human rights and civil liberties

[TahitiNut]

... outside our own borders. While I personally believe it should make absolutely no difference and the restrictions on the powers of government are irrespective of WHERE it acts, that's obviously not the reality. Since, under that Constitution, our Executive Branch (which includes the military and CIA/NSA) runs amok over human rights, the point is valid.

Look, if I train my dog to wag his tail and behave on my own property but go out at other times and rip the throats out of women and children NOT on my property, then his wagging tail sitting on my porch doesn't make him a "good dog."

It's about damned time that we train our dog better.
