Sad that things have reached the stage where this qoute can be applied to the US. Sad that things have reached the stage where this qoute can be applied to the US.Yes it is (sad)! Bush is definitely not communist. Bush is definitely not communist. How does this apply to Bush? First, I believe Neoconservative philosophy definitely comes close to fascism. However, I do not believe this applies to Bush or the US in even the most liberal interpretation. If you read the Military Commissions Act, section 7, applied here: SEC. 7. HABEAS CORPUS MATTERS. (a) IN GENERAL.—Section 2241 of title 28, United States Code, is amended by striking both the subsection (e) added by section VerDate 14-DEC-2004 16:39 Nov 07, 2006 Jkt 059139 PO 00366 Frm 00038 Fmt 6580 Sfmt 6581 E:\PUBLAW\PUBL366.109 APPS24 PsN: PUBL366 120 STAT. 2636 PUBLIC LAW 109–366—OCT. 17, 2006 1005(e)(1) of Public Law 109–148 (119 Stat. 2742) and the subsection (e) added by added by section 1405(e)(1) of Public Law 109–163 (119 Stat. 3477) and inserting the following new subsection (e): ‘‘(e)(1) No court, justice, or judge shall have jurisdiction to hear or consider an applicat... How and Who can change our current situation. Pleas advice. Scary that their are heads-in-the-sand people out there who cannot even see how this applies to the Bush administration. More support for this article. Cheney vs. Churchill. Quote: What kind of American isn't just instinctively repulsed by the notion that the President has the power to imprison Americans with no charges? And what does it say about the current state of our political culture that one of the two political parties has all but adopted as a plank in its platform a view of presidential powers and the federal government that is - literally - the exact opposite of what ... =Yassin_M How and Who can change our current situation. Pleas advice.=Lets judge the situation by the rule of common sense. When somebody's actions are clearly contradict to the rule of common sense, we will come to following suggestions: a) this is an insanity, which can be the option for a defense in court; b) this is the actions of individuals, who are telling not what they thinking and doing not what they telling. Individuals, who have something to hide from people are conspirators, fraudsters or criminals or all together and cannot serve as public servants. Let them serve their time. Whatever, sahara, they are enemy combatants. This has nothing whatsoever to do with anyone's constitutional rights. SO willhelm does that mean that humane considerations should not apply to this somewhat arbitrary designated group? The "Other" can never be considered in anyway human. That defeats the purpose of the exercise. Of course not, Socratoad. The issue, as I see it in the quote clipped, is that a totalitarian fascist would abuse power against his own citizens. This was done by Woodrow Wilson, but not by GW Bush. If it has, it hasn't been disclosed or proven. A person should be alarmed that the President is even given this power. It's amazing "brilliance" here on clipmarks cannot realize that. And it is being proven today that journalists who speak out about faulty and shoddy performance of Homeland security are being placed on terrorist alert lists to be harassed for having bucked the powers that be. We are teetering on the edge of the precipice. Well delusions of grandeur are not the same as "brilliance". It might take some very astute to twist the input from outside stimuli into something that has no connection to the source of said input, but I would not call that "brilliance". The problem is simple, the attitudes and actions of the current Administration violate the rule of law at it's most fundamental level and unbalance the goverment concentrating undue power under one branch of goverment. If nothing is done to reverse this trend and make an example of those who would even try such a thing, then such acts and attitudes become precedent which encourages worse behavior. It is not about whether there is an (R) or a (D) in the ... @willhelm -- as far as we know, Bush hasn't done this -- yet. However, he and his administration have been quite insistent that they do indeed possess the power to do so if they want. This can't possibly be news to you. I just want to be realistic here. It is one thing for representatives of the executive branch to assert authority for the executive branch, it is another to say they are undermining the Constitution. Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt all assumed for themselves far more power than Bush has assumed. And let us not forget..Bush is over in 6 months. And they assumed power for the executive branch at the expense of the legislative branch which was unconstitutional. Let us not forget that 2 wrongs do not make a right. Like "the Greatest" - not to mention far too many others -- I have been Cont.... Thanks to the Freedom of Information Act and the ACLU, we now know that "Lucy" was only one part of a vast, insidious project. The Maryland State Police's Department of Homeland Security devoted near 300 hours and thousands of taxpayer dollars from 2005 and 2006 to harassing people whose only crime was dissenting on the question of the war in Iraq and Maryland's use of death row.
Veteran peace activist in Baltimore, Max Obuszewski, who initiated the suit, was as well consistently shadowed as he walked down the streets. His "primary crime" (their lingo) was entered into the homeland security database as "terrorism - anti govern(ment)." His "secondary crime" was listed as "terrorism -- anti-war protesters." The database is known as the Washington-Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area, or HIDTA. Yes, a respected peace organizer of many decades standing is checked as a terrorist, his actions listed as criminal, for doing nothing more than exercising his rights. It boggles the mind. And the inevitable excuse: Former police superintendent Tim Hutchins defended these totalitarian practices by saying, "You do what you think is best to protect the general populace of the state." (The article mentioned that Hutchins is now a federal defense contractor. I guess The Global War on Terror is just the gift that keeps on giving for the Hutchins family.)
