The people of Afghanistan are not a threat to our nation or to our freedoms. Our greatest threat comes from our own leadership, who authorize the mass surveillance of Americans in violation of the Fourth Amendment, who attempt to confine polical dissent to "free speech" cages in violation of the First Amendment, who have shredded most of the other rights protected under the Constitution through legislation like the "PATRIOT" Acts, John Warner Defense Authorization Act, Military Commissions Act, various extra-constitutional executive orders and signing statements which effectively shift legislative power to the Executive branch, etc.

These are the enemies of our Constitution. These are the enemies from whom our servicemen and women and our politicians swore to protect us. The people of Afghanistan are legitimately defending their nation from foreign invaders, while the true enemies of this nation destroy us from within the highest levels of government and military, carrying out the dictates of their masters on Wall Street and the other corporate mafias.

You are on crack, and you lie. Your Leftist none-sense is third rate, looney trash. Go back to selling "Bush blew-up the World Trade Towers" bumper stickers. And don't forget to renew your Code Pink membership.

Read the oath you swore when you joined the military, the one about supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and then read the text of the legislation I cited and take a good look at policies like warrantless surveillance and indefinite detentions.

Whose liberties are restricted? Do you believe the secret 'Bush police'(and now your Holy One's police) leave some secret office every day and randomly select Americans to follow around and wire up their phones? Do you have a clue on how this works? How is it that the radical wondering boy who became the media created candidate, the one who has been brought up and embraced by genuine Leftist and who's ideologies are cut from the same cloth as Rev. Wright, Ayers and all the other neo-Marxist and the Hate America First crowd..., how is it that your Obama chose to PUSH FORWARD in the global war against the Jihadist instead of standing down? Can you tell the people here what Obama changed regarding the Patriot Act? I guess even HE, of all people, must have figured out and come to grasp certain realities concerning the Jihadist, not to mention that the security measures set in place under Bush are not ‘restricting’ any American’s freedoms.

Here is a book for you; I recommend it to all of your type because you will then understand that I know what it is that really motivates you and what’s at the core of your campus level non-sense.

United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny and Terror
by Jamie Glazov
Throughout the twentieth century, the Western Left supported one totalitarian killing machine after another. Prominent intellectuals venerated mass murderers such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, and Ho Chi Minh, excusing their atrocities while blaming the West, and even the victims, for the crimes. After 9/11, history repeated itself. The only difference was that the Left's favorite murderers were waving not the red flag of proletarian revolution, but the black flag of Islamic jihad. Now, in United in Hate, Jamie Glazov, editor of FrontPagemagazine.com , analyzes the Left's contemporary romance with militant Islam as a continuation of the Left's love affair with communist totalitarianism in the 20th Century.

Nothing has changed here under your Obama:

The USA Act of 2001
The USA Act was subsequently folded into the USA PATRIOT Act. Under the USA Act, a terrorist who was not an agent of a foreign power could be the target of a Federal investigation of foreign intelligence. The primary difference between the USA Act and the FISA is in its definition of terrorism. In the USA Act, terrorism was redefined to be any activity that appears to be intended to (1) intimidate or coerce the government or civil population and (2) break criminal laws and (3) endanger human life.


•The Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001
The Financial Anti-Terrorism Act was also folded into the USA PATRIOT Act. This Act increases the Federal government's powers to investigate and prosecute the financial supporters of terrorism.
• The USA Patriot Act breaks down barriers to information sharing, enabling law enforcement and intelligence personnel to share information that is needed to help connect the dots and disrupt potential terrorist and criminal activity before they occur.
• The broad information-sharing provisions better enable U.S. Customs and Border Protection to screen international visitors and determine whether an apprehended alien presents a threat to security or public safety.
• The USA Patriot Act also enhances DHS investigations into the international movement of illicit funds through money transmittal businesses, bulk cash smuggling and cyber crimes.

Conservative book club, I guess if you like reading historic facts , that well, aren't really facts, if Hitler was left, I guess your hero Bush's grandfather, Prescot Bush was a leftie .

HINT : he Supported the Nazi regime and profited off the labor in the death camps

So much for your right wing book,you can put it to good use and wipe your candy uninformed a$$ with the pages ..
George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.

The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

You care about this country like OJ cares about finding "the real killers".
Here is a fundamental mistake you are making: you think that Obama is in charge... or that Bush was in charge. The POTUS is a figurehead. He is OWNED. That is why, despite all the campaign rhetoric, much of Obama's policies are simply a continuation of Bush's (and Bush's policies were a continuation of Clinton's). On a federal level, there is no "left" and "right." You demonize Obama, but you miss the people pulling the strings, the same people who were pulling Bush's strings.

What liberties are restricted? Look at the legislation I listed in a previous post -- The Military Commissions Act alone completely guts the Bill of Rights. It gives the executive branch the power to declare anyone, including American citizens, an "enemy combatant." And that means they can stuff you in a hole and forget about you, or maybe they'll get "medieval" on you...

"No-fly" lists make movement difficult, and it is extremely difficult for a citizen to find out why they are on the list or to challenge this restriction.

Data-mining communications means that everyone's phone calls, financial transactions, emails, library records, etc. are sucked in and stored in some huge data base. If someone later decides they don't like you, they have access to your email, financial records, etc. This makes life difficult for political dissidents, even if they represent a majority of citizens. It makes a free press impossible. It makes blackmail and extortion by the executive easy. I'll let you think about it... the possibilities are endless...

And then reread the oath of service that all military personnel took, the one about defending the Constitution....
