LPA: Should there even be a Liberal Party of America? There was a time when we had a pretty good start. It seems that this party is just about as dead as a doornail. In recent weeks, we have seen this Right Wing Fascists eliminate Habeus Corpus, and trick the Democrats for not fighting his plan to abrogate The Geneva Conventions by putting up a war hero (Who has betrayed his country) and two other "moderate" Republicans to initally declare themselves against the proposal, only to go into a back room, shake hands and come out telling everyone "we have reached a compromise". A compromise on what? The right to abrogate the Geneva Conventions and take out the cornerstone of Human Rights and the basis of Liberty? What do these people take us for?
I guess that they take us for idiots, and I guess that the people in The United States are idiots. They must be. They have sold out our basic law on evidentury proceedure that was intiated in the Magna Carta! I guess that was a weeks worth of good work for the Nazi Party of America, still calling itself the GOP. The "other" party, the demo-somethings won't be around too much longer, and either will we. We have failed to bring some sort of conciousness to America. Everyone seems to be asleep. I'm going to take a few weeks off and think about moving out of this country. It's getting to the point where it's not safe anymore.
Since 1215 The Magna Carta has said that a person must be charged to be held and that the person that is held must be given a opportunity to present a defense and be told how long they will be held. The government has done away with that. Is everyone allright with this? Do you all understand what's been done here or don't any people in this country care?
If you are picked up and it is said that you are a terrorist, even if you are not, you, under the law, can be held for as long as the government wants to hold you, and you can't defend yourself and you don't have to know how long they will hold you. Remember that the next time you get pulled over. Trust your government to do the "right" thing, they always do, don't they?
