Your post really saddens me. Yes, the RINOs on the list should not have passed CFR because it is unconstitutional. But the President is also part of that process, and he has the same responsibility that each member of Congress does.

It saddens me even more to see phrases like silly oath of office and other statements that reinforce my fears that we have lost the ideals of our Republic.

I guess I understand the ferocious defense of G.W. Bush, just as I understood the ferocious defense of Bill Clinton. What I don't understand is how the good, intelligent people that frequent Free Republic can give W a pass on this one.

You have to draw the line somewhere. The founders of this country made the first amendment first for a reason. I didn't elect GW Bush to rubber stamp a bad bill that he supposedly doesn't agree with and have the Supreme Court sort it out.

To me, that shows a lack of courage and resolve which arguably makes him a coward, and does, in fact, break a campaign promise, which arguably makes him a liar.

Granted, it's no more than all of the Reps in my state (both Democrat and Republican), and both of my Senators. But that just means that he's in good company.

I don't want to hear that there's no one else I can support or that if I throw my vote away Hillary will win the election. If no one supports the Bill of Rights or other vestiges of the Republic, there is truly no one I can vote for, and I have already thrown my vote away by voting for my Rep and G.W. Bush (I did not vote for my Senators).

Let's see. You say you're saddened. That the Republic is doomed and that there's nothing you can do about it.

I refuse to believe it's that bad.

DON'T opt out of the process. The sheeple that have paid no attention to any of this for their own selfish reasons are the problem. DON'T join them.

Stay involved.

Yes, we have to draw the line somewhere. I agree that the ones set down two hundred plus years ago are the best ones in the history of man. But in this particular conflict, the battlefield is moving to the courtroom. We've got some damn good warriors on our side and I believe we'll prevail.

It looks like President Bush drew the line at some terrorists who destroyed some buildings and killed 3000 innocent lives. That, too, is a battle we must win. The terrorists attack us for the prosperity and power we have gained. Those documents you and I cherish have had a hell of alot to do with why this nation has gained so much.

We can't all join the military to root out terrorists. We can't all become lawyers and duke it out in the courtroom. But we can make a difference in other ways. Even if its just changing someone's mind and getting them to vote.

OK, maybe I'm naive. But I'm not giving up.
