27. The right blindly supports a foreign concept
Edited on Thu Jun-17-04 06:34 PM by mmonk
to American tradition called "pre-emptive war". They have no problem, with no credible connection between 9/11 and the outright conquest of Iraq. They have no problem with the deliberate deception to go to war. They have no problem with torturing prisoners in violation of the Geneva conventions. They have no problems with the erosion of civil rights under the patriot act. They have no problems with secret prisons. They have no problems with violations of separation of powers provided in the constitution. They have no problem with outing CIA agents as political punishment, etc., etc., etc. So some of us who do indeed support the constitution of the US, do find something wrong with committing to an illegal war (in the eyes of the world) and sold to the American people on a lie. And those of us standing up for the constitution, international laws and treaties, the bill of rights, etc., are very, very, very, very, tired of being called traitors of this country because what we oppose about the opposition is their very violation of all these principles. There is my rant about the other side.
