I once wondered how it was that the German people could have allowed Hitler’s power-grabs. Now I see how. It’s a sad day for our nation. Our enemies must be laughing their asses off — their sucker punch on 9/11 has turned our country into a caricature of its stated values.

We are no longer a nation of laws. ‘Rule of law’ has been quickly replaced with something one expects to find in a Kafka or Orwell novel. When a government can break the law, then retroactively make it legal, every person, of every political persuasion, should be quite worried.

Bring Back "V"!!

'Aliens' being Tortured

'Cursed is he who distorts the justice due an alien, orphan, and widow.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

Deuteronomy 27:19

Many right-wingers, such as Newt Gingrich, want to tell us that the US Constitution doesn't apply to aliens. Such forms of Justice are reserved to US Citizens only, claims Newt.

Perhaps Newt, Bush, Yoo, etc., need to be reminded of this passage in their Bibles.

How Bad is it?
