Hmmm. I don't really subscribe to any one political party, so these attacks are unwarranted.

I agree with republicans on tax issues, education issues, social security, and some crime issues. I agree with democrats on civil liberties, open government, and freedom of speech. Where does that put me?

Why berate me?

Some may wish to berate. I wish to discuss issues.

You say: I agree with democrats on civil liberties, open government, and freedom of speech.

Please define each and state why you believe Democrats are better purveyors of said values, as opposed to Republicans, Libertarians, et al.?

Sooooooooo, Republicans/Conservatives are NOT for civil liberties and freedom of speech? That makes you a troll!

Although the administration may have been misled concerning certain facts, it appears that facts that did not support the stated policy were either ignored or misrepresented.

Please stop crying.

The responses are warranted,
unless of course you think that you can come into this forum and be obtuse enough to promote the ACLU, irrespective of your nonsense about there being a dime of difference regarding those rather fake issues that you repeatedly cite.

Go away.

The Traitor Party restricts civil rights, and has done so for over a century ("Jim Crow" was a Democrat creation, as was the Gun Control Act of 1938, 1968, the Brady Law, and their opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1968 is legendary....just ask Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia....a Klansman. There's how devoted to civil rights they are.)

As for open government, let us look at which administration in the last forty years had the most cover-ups: Was it Nixon? Nope. Watergate was a botched burglary carried out without either the knowledge or approval of the president. Ford? Nope. Reagan? Nope.....Iran-Contra wasn't a cover-up, it was an attempt to execute executive policy while a legislative intrusion on the executive branch was in place (the "Boland Amendment"). Bush 41? Nope. Bush 43? Wrong again. Try Clinton. Troopergate. Monicagate. Filegate. Whitewater. Cattlegate. The rape of Juanita Broadrick. The harassment of whistleblowers. When it comes to cover-ups, the Traitors have it all over the Republicans, so claiming open government is where you side with them is bull.

Freedom of Speech? McVain-Feingold? Use of the IRS to silence critics of the president? Feingold is a Traitor, and McVain might just as well be. Clinton made extreme use of federal assets to harass those who spoke against him, to the point where if someone weren't a flaming communist, free speech and a free press were nearly lost concepts.

Shall we talk about Elian Gonzalez? How about Waco? The use of federal law enforcement and violations of the Posse Comitatus act? Deal with it. Your beloved Traitor Party wouldn't know how to honor civil rights if it had to.

Hayako your butt back over to DU, Alex. You're either a troll or ignorant beyond hope.

I'd say they use those to divide the country. Class warfare. Where does that put you, then?

Your support of the ACLU puts you with one foot out the door.....
