"...I remember how we fought side by side, to prevent the Fed Reserve and 3 others from making KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER the law of the land. We fought not just once, but at least 3 times to defeat this BS. And of course there were the usual sheeple that are so brain-deprived they couldn't/wouldn't believe their government had ulterior methods. Well, when President Bush says the new rules are designed to stop financial counterfeiting, smuggling and money laundering, HE IS A LIAR......hello.....look at the rules they put in play in the Caribbean on small island nations after they were talked into using financial services to stimulate their economies......now, they are black-balling these same nations BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT USING THE SAME TAXING STRUCTURES THAT THE OTHER 'BIG' COUNTRIES ARE!!!... Can anyone truthfully say its no wonder all these other countries hate our guts!!

That's not the worst, Rowdee.

Now our former comrades-in-arms consider us to be traitors,
because we refuse to accept what our leaders tell us.

When did it become a crime to question the actions of our politicians?
We can't even criticize the slanted news coverage
without being reminded that "we are at war."

Sorry, people.
There is no Declaration of War.
Bob Barr asked for one.
His fellow Congressmen didn't see any reason
to bother with that quaint requirement.

"When did it become a crime to question the actions of our politicians?"

It didn't. In fact, if / when you stop, you become just another drooling, CNN-worshipping a**hole.

Just understand that there may be other ways of looking at the actions of a President......a decent, Christian man..... at war. It really can be that simple at times.

I'll head off the inevitable: No, I don't worship at the altar of Bush. No, I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool "Bushie" (hell, I was a strategist in the Presidential campaign of a competitor to Bush in 2000); no, I don't think it's "unpatriotic" to question the very murmurings of the occupant of the Oval Office. My stance is clearly stated in reply #20, take it or leave it; your choice.

Well, of course, we are NOT at war!! Again, very few can use their heads.....we are in exactly the same types of actions as Iraq flyover bombings, attacking the sovereign nation of Kosovo, whatever the hell you want to call Somolia--I think that was technically called 'peace keeping', or some such rot. The Constitution says that Congress DECLARES war, not the President.....and as for having a president who runs to the UN.....I consider those traitors....the United States is a sovereign nation.
