Bush shuns Patriot Act requirement - The Boston Globe

Bush shuns Patriot Act requirement - The Boston Globe

once again gw flaunts the law and
demonstrates his contempt for the
rule of law, and moves closer still
to becoming the first fascist dictator
in the history of these united states.

a sad and sorry commentary on us all
isn't it that there appears to be
absolutely nothing happening to
stop the travesties that pile up
day after day under this criminal administration?

sigh

PEACE

Do you consider yourself smarter than the people who believed

Do you consider yourself smarter than the people who believed
i responded,
maybe. in 2000 my son mentioned he might enlist and i
said, "at least wait til after the election because
if bush wins he's going to throw a war," and i was
right. not that he won, but that he threw a war. but
what difference does it make? because a terrible
tragic thing was predictable. if it means i'm
smarter then it does. that won't save a single
life. the question to me is how can it be that
this administration has so much power that they
have just about succeeded in stripping our
nation of its very democracy, and all the
smarts in the world have not as of yet been
successful in stemming the tide. how can so
many people from illiterate and downright
stupid to erudite and even brilliant support
war? ignore what their government is doing?!
after the first gulf war i went on out of the
loop for a long time. i always voted, but i
didn't pay attention to much of the news.
then bush strongarmed an election. then my
daughter was murdered. less than 2 months
later 9-11 happened, and in spite of the
overwhelming grief i struggled with i could
no longer ignore what was happening to my
country tis of thee. remember, the one of,
for, and by the people? remember that USA?

what's the point of the question? my answer is yes.

Warblogging.com: Free Speech Zones and John Ashcroft — Read in the White House: "Those who
go to see the President speak, including the media,
generally do not have an opportunity to see the
protesters — they are kept safely out of the way, out of sight."

A picture's worth

I stand on the sand, and I'm rocking grief to sleep in my arms.
