The Eroding of Your Rights

The United States Congress passed legislation suspending the right of non-US citizens  to writs of habeas corpus.  I guess we are getting a little closer to Turkish law, like that is a country we should be emulating.  Now any foreign visitor runs the risk of being arrested and thrown in a “foreign” jail with no rights to get before a judge.  Are we making progress now?  Maybe it’s the logic that when you get into a dog fight, you have to get down to their level.  Who’s winning the war on terror - need I answer.

At the same time Congress passed legislation authorizing the building of a 700 mile fence along the Mexican border.  When in the entire history of the world has that idea worked in the long run. 

Now that we are safe from terrorist, what about the federal budget that was ignored, the economy stupid, education, foreign trade and foreignaffairs, and health care.  Has anyone heard one idea from the administration on dealing with any of these major issues.  “Stay the course.”  It’s election time, bring out the usual fears and emotions to scare the Amierican public to continue on this meandering trillion dollar trip.

Are you in there?
