Tim – I dunno, I think it would be obvious when I said that quotes are fine if their wisdom is useful. I don’t think Washington’s quote is particularly wise, since we’ve had political parties all along and we’re still going.
As far as violating our constitutional rights, you’re kidding, right? Just in case you’re actually serious: It’s fine if you don’t have a problem with illegal wiretapping, but I do. That was a violation of the 4th Amendment, as are other provisions of the “patriot act”. He’s also stomped on the equal protection clause (14th amendment) by extending tours of duty, authorizing or condoning the disenfranchisement of voters, refusing to fund NCLB, and ignoring the Katrina victims. Direct violations of constitutional provisions, including criminal violations, would include lying to Congress and the American people on multiple occasions; “signing statements” in which he declares that he doesn’t have to obey the laws Congress enacts; committing America to a war without a declaration; attempting to circumvent the treaty process; and putting americans in jeopardy by abrogating the Geneva Convention and about a dozen other international agreements and treaties. These are clear violations, but in my opinion you can also add permitting his VP to shop energy policy to the highest industry bidders; condoning the traitorous exposure of a CIA agent; appointing political hacks to the bench in violation of his constitutional trust; selling foreign policy to Carlyle and Halliburton; selling healthcare legislation to the pharmaceutical industry; and violating the establishment clause in a thousand ways, but in just one example, placing orphaned Muslim Indonesian children with only Christian families. I don’t really have time to go on, but yeah, it’s just a little bit more serious than searching my duffelbag at the airport

Dantheguy9- your right about quotes? Why didnt you comment on the one about George Washington. You don’t think Washington had some wisdom in that qoute. I personally have a problem with people spewing our constitutional rights being violated. I dont see that. Airport security searching my bags? Wiretap my phone if people think I am talking to someone of interest? How are my rights being violated like you say they are.

It’s a kick. Every election, yes every election the opposing party screams for change. Why do we always want change, no matter which party is in power. What change ? No more war ? There will always be wars, and rumors of wars, so get over it and just deal with it. That’s the real world. So if Obama is elected, he’ll pull all the troops out out of Iraq ? Well that’ll be real smart, then Iraq will end up right back similar to what it was, and everything we fought for, will have been for nothing. So yes, go ahead and scream and yell at our President, like the fools you are. But don’t forget, if Obama get’s elected, you must scream and yell at him too, when he does something stupid, and he will. For God’s sake, just be thankful that Hillary is out of the running.

Southern Patriot. I for one have plenty of respect for the personnel who make up our military and also deep contempt for the present administration’s policies. Why do you assume that everyone who despises Bush despises America? I’ve never understood that. You also have no need to call liberals marxists or socialists. If you really don’t see the difference your comments have to be taken with a grain of salt.

Tim – I think it’s reasonable to assume that the same president who’s been violating our constitutional rights would continue to do this, and thus the establishment of a secret police force is worrisome. And yes, quotes are fun but only useful if their wisdom is useful. When Madison warns of too much power being in the hands of any single branch, his remarks are very applicable in these days of Bush’s executive power grab.

Craig- one more thing. George Washington said we should not have political parties too. He said they would destroy or country. You can quote all you want

Craig- I dont see in the provision where it states your Bill of Rights will be violated? Where is that sentence? I cant find it. Are you implying that it says that? Or does it specifically state this?
