I don't need candy when I lick boots and it's a comfort to know you aren't attacking me. Yeah, right.

Election of the next "Demo president" will be assured with the briiliant political judgements of people like you. Be sure to always cut the legs off the good guys and shoot the wounded. That way the monsters are sure to win and you can whine about what lousy candidates the GOP were.

Either way, the fringe-dwellers get to bitch from the sidelines without ever lifting a finger.

You know what you can lick.

I AM NOT attacking you. I'd certainly would like to know what part of this you support. Is it giving the military power to conduct investigations and surveillance (of civilians), use troops to "maintain order and security" (as with the Bonus Army, or Waco) or arrest American citizens. Or is it all three? And am I to presume that you see no problem with this! If so I am truely sad for you, as it has all the makings for tragedy.

History shows us that where a power exists, it will be abused by despots. Maybe, just maybe, George won't abuse it, BUT, if it is on the books, HE MAY, or the next president MAY, or the one who's in office when my grandchildren come of age. It scares me to leave this legacy to my children and grandchildren. I do not believe that ANY politician has MY, or MY CHILDRENS, or MY GRANDCHILDREN's best interests at heart.

And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness." - Justice William O. Douglas
