Today’s must read
I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free.

I have bee writing about this for a while, now. If Bush wins the Pafiall case, then we are not free in the sense we would recognize it. if the government can lock you away without recourse trial or appeal, then you aren’t free – you just haven’t come to their attention, yet.

Actually, i just find it more interesting coming from a conservative like Donald Sensing.
It does amaze me how many conservatives don’t like bush or his policies.

Sometimes I get the same anxious feeling, but I always shake it off. We will always have those who want to tip the scales in their favor and hold dominion over everyone. Usually they think they are right and entitled by some standard of superiority.
That day will not come as long as we don’t lose the right to have our votes count. That is why the single biggest problem we face in American society is the threat to that right.
There is no need to elaborate–we all know what the issues are.
