Looks to me like she at least half right. (although for the record Anita is
a total ASS. Met her, worked for her, resigned from her)

1. Patriot bill, biggest infringement on the bill of rights in the
history of the U.S. (read it, I did) (Oh and did you ever wonder how
quickly how that bill of immense destruction of civil liberties was just put
together overnight??Like it was written in advance just waiting for and
event to justify its passing)
2. U.S. Foreign policy is a JOKE. How many countries do we have troops
deployed across the globe?? And yet we have to create a homeland security
department..DUH, this is real task of the U.S. military?? Not to mention
protecting the borders, another joke.
3. The more countries our troops are (without any merit) and most likely
where they don't belong, the bigger chance we are going to piss someone off
(surprise??!!)


You want blame for 9-11? It's Washington plain and simple. Those people
died due to a corrupt foreign policy. Those people died because of a failed
immigration policies not enforced (Washington again). Those people died
because the U.S. (the "superpower" that is soo super it cant even balance
its freaking budget and continues to borrow BILLIONS against the future
earnings of our kids) for some reason unknown to it's subjects is the
ordained "worlds police" and has to borrow money to buy bullets.

These are the same people (Washington) that ban US BIKERS from parks, land,
roads that we pay for. Most people that can afford to indulge in off-road
machinery almost always fall into that pay most of taxes bracket, wile the
granola greens are usually the ones protesting access to parks in one voice
and yelling "do you want fries with that with the other"

WAR with Iraq?? yea sure. My kids will be right behind the Bush sisters,
Chelsea Clinton and Gores poor excuse for his acid induced contribution to
his families gene pool.

Wake the frigg up......

9/11/2001

longer aspire to *be* Americans.
>
> Who would, given how that country moves steadily and inexorably toward
dictatorship? The American people, in a scant 12 months, have had their
once-enviable civil liberties outrageously eroded in the name of patriotism.
The ideals of freedom and democracy which America pledges to export across
the globe have been perverted so spectacularly at home that America's
admirers hardly recognise her anymore.
>
> Where once Americans reveled in their uniquely American right and
willingness to criticize their government, they are now told that those who
dissent are no better than terrorists, or terrorists themselves. They have
had their pride of country, their patriotism, hijacked by a self-interested
and short-sighted government which steals freedoms from its own people and
gives riches to corporations and "security" infrastructures such as the
military, FBI, and CIA, all of which which have proven, in the past 12
months, to be either fatally incompetent and totally corrupt.
>
> Those Americans who would question their government are told to "watch
what they say." The FBI has been given broad reign to spy on citizens with
phone taps and email snoops. Long-held ideals of fair and speedy trials are
thrown out the window as suspected terrorists and sympathizers are
"disappeared" like the enemies of Pinochet 20 years ago in Chile.
>
> In exchange for their freedoms, Americans are not safer now than they were
a year ago; in fact, they are probably less so. Their government is a rogue
state, rejecting international consensus on every front and threatening
first-strike nuclear attacks and politically expedient invasions of
sovereign nations. America has more nuclear, biological, and chemical
weapons that any other country, and it is the only nation to have used such
a weapon against another. And still it stubbornly refuses any international
effort or treaty to regulate, minimise, or eliminate such weapons, even as
it uses Iraq's suspected possession of (or mere desire for) them as reason
for wholesale attack.
>
> America's us-against-the-world mentality has managed to wear away almost
all of the remarkable international sympathy it built up just after Sept.
11. Bush & Co. has slapped the international community in the face as the it
tried to embrace and console the United States. Now the enmity has left
America alone, more reviled and isolated internationally than before.
>
> The scars of Ground Zero will heal, the grief at the loss of so many
innocents will ease, but the damage the United States has inflicted on
itself will last far longer. To hell with George Bush; God save America.
