First Birthday!



Guess who is turning one year old? It’s the Military Commissions Act, where we all became complicit in torture! This also marked the complete overthrow of habeas corpus (the right to be charged with a crime in a courtroom and present a defense) by our elected officials - who knew they cared so little for our Bill of Rights? Well, there is no doubt anymore, is there? I know for a fact that protecting free speech or our rights to privacy (not being spied on without a warrant) is definitely not a concern of Rep. Shuler.


Of course, the new Democratic majority elected in November 2006 has done nothing about the Military Commissions Act – but then it could not have passed in the first place without the Democrat's help.

On October 17th the US Constitution and Bill of Rights was bound, gagged and detained forever. And every US citizen became a torturer. The photo above came from Amnesty International.

Now, excuse me while I go get sick.
