Actually I LOATHE what Lincoln did to the Constitution and what Bush is doing to it now. You CANNOT POSSIBLY achieve good ends with evil means. Good intentions do not and cannot excuse violating the Supreme Law of the Land, ever. In the case of Bush, as it is most current, it would appear that he has no intention of doing what we hired him to do (like secure our borders) but yet EVERY intention of doing all he can to achieve each and every non- and UN-Constitutional thing he can get away with... such as the USA-PATRIOT Act and No Child Left Behind and that God-AWFUL prescription drug thing, NONE of which is done under any possible authority granted by the Constitution. But you agree 99 percent with what Bush does... which says volumes about YOU.
so the patriots who founded this country you must also loathe...they went against english law to rise up against the government and the constitution. i hired him to run the government. Protecting our borders is not the only thing. WE have the border patrol. he has called on the national guard...he is protecting our borders and security by way of the patriot act. I have lost no liberties since it implication....in fact the only ones losing liberties are terrorists.
Some people prefer safety to the animating contest that is freedom.
What they don't realize is that there is no such thing as safety, only a feeling of safety, and it's no more than an illusion most of the time.
