1. That everyone captured was foreign born 2. That everyone captured was non-American 3. That everyone captured was a terrorist 4. That everyone captured was on the battlefield trying to kill American servicemen Each of the 4 above are demonstrably false (ironic that the study Arch posted is further evidence that each of the 4 above are demonstrably false, and you have still missed it). When you assume that all 4 items above are true, it is easy to then conclude that it doesn't affect you or your liberties at all, and it is easy to conclude that all 4 items above are true when you don't give anyone a trial or tell them what they are being charged with, or even allow them to speak to defense counsel without the prosecuting attorney being present. They came for the Jews... |

Tooblue: Look at how dangerously expansive Republicans have made executive power! They have made it soooo expansive, there is no way we can trust a Democrat to hold those powers! Better to let the Republicans continue expanding on their own! nice. |

And you mean to tell me you have no fears about what ANY individual might do with the expanded powers? I have serious concerns about McCain in regards to this issue and have voiced them -- by the way he's a Republican. And I have serious concerns about Obama, but I certainly haven't heard any of his supporters voice their concerns which for me is extremely disconcerting. Are you really voting for Obama because he's a Democrat and he's not Bush? That's what it sounds like. Last edited by tooblue; 10-22-2008 at 10:58 AM. |

Our form of government is inefficient. A strong executive, like a dictator would get a lot more things done. Now if we can do something about that annoying constitution. I have no idea what "conservative" means anymore.
