Americans have a habit of shooting Presidents for any number of reasons. I am actually surprised this one hasn't been shot by now.

Although since 9/11 his policies and actions have run America on fear, so that is possably one answer.

Really though, I cannot understand how this tribe in Washington keeps getting away with everything they do.

They are very ****y now.

Tell so many of the dangers to their freedoms and as usual we are simply anti American, or extremists or anything else they feel like shouting in the moment.

Unlike you Joe, I am not an American and I dont care if Americans lose their rights.

Bad wording really, but I have no steak in it.

I do however still have family there. Quite a bit of family.

I dont want them losing rights because they/Americans have become either too afraid to do anything ot too aloof, too unthinking.

After fighting and warning Americans since 9/11 and getting nothing but insults back, I've become hardened and uncaring about the State of America today. Not completely, but certainly to a large degree.

It just seems to me that globally, more people outside America worry about the state of America then do Americans today. Hopefully Americans dont wake up one morning and find suddenly that it's too late to worry.

That crew in Washington needs to suffer through their own death penalty that Bush seems to like so much.

The president, like everyone else in public service, is sworn under oath to defend an uphold that document he apparently has no genuine respect for.

The episode says much for W's character, but is it verifiable?

Re: the first entry in this thread, it's time for Bush's impeachment, for that alone. It disgusts me that this hack politician, Bush, should trample on the same piece of paper, that has been defended by the blood of many people, and was written by the most gifted group of individuals in more modern times.

It might be interesting to see what Justice Antonin Scalia thinks about Bush's trashy declaration, because we can recall that Scalia resented Congressional statements that the Constitution was a living document. Now he has heard Bush call the Constitution a g-d- piece of paper. I'll bet that Scalia probably went into convulsions over Bush's condemnation. Of course, Scalia was not about to tackle the president in public.

Bush's upchuck about that little paper is likely a Freudian slip, if I might use that term, but a highly revealing one at that. Should we assume that everyone in Congress and the White House thinks that the Constitution has successfully been neutered? Between both the "living" and "g-d-" Constitution, there is plenty of room
to hold the supposition that this grand document is dead in the practice of an alternative structure that is based solely on the establishment of a dictatorial power.

To this end, we can easily derive that the destruction of the substance of America has been and will continue to be demolished like some former buildings that come to mind. By this, I can include decades of America constantly doing what is in its worst interest. It is difficult to think of any recent wise decision made at the national level by anybody. That sublime document that restricted governmental actions and fostered human freedom, has been abducted by opportunists who seek to restrict human freedom and promote governmental aggressiveness.

It all begs the question: Why have an America at all, if it is to be just another nation. Certainly we are a nation among others, but our start was based on the limiting of the power of government. It reminds me of drill instruction on a marching pad, wherein, airmen are being held back, in half-step marching, to allow select other airmen to catch up with the main squadron. Is Bush, et al, keeping us in half-step while our nation's substance is being retarded for the convenience of others.

I would say that economically and spiritually, this nation is being stifled and harmed by those who have their own goals for our future. Two basic examples of this would be our monetary and economic structure, and our media. Both these institutions are draining the external and internal wealth of the American people. A dispirited and poor people can do very little to preserve their liberties and can do little to repel the abridgements of these liberties.

With Bush's condemnation of the Constitution, all other abolition of liberty is more than congruent or equal to what we have shown in this forum.
