"It occurred to me that if it is as GW Bush has claimed - that Osama Bin Laden was attacking "American Freedom" - that he must be pretty happy with the results of his handiwork."
You sound like you are missing the Clintons, they could care less about terrorists attacks, they were too busy going after the "VAST RIGHT WING CONSPRIATORS".
Our freedoms are slowly being eroded, not just by politicians, but by the beaurocrats they designate to f*ck up our lives.
Do you own land? I do, in four states. The states all have an interest in what I do on my land. They tell me constantly, and they require me to "buy" permits, and pay 'fees' before they will allow any action.
They can then control everything I do there, with OSHA, and COE oversight. Those are FED'ROOL beaurocrats, but they are the mentors for the states.
Just remember now, "Click it or ticket"!
Life isn't just a choice between Republicans and Democrats. Ashcroft is "better" than Reno in the way a poke in the eye is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
