Bush makes last-minute grab for civil liberties

Unhappy

@Webster Phreaky

I live in the South...in an area where liberal is a dirty word and republicans have an iron fist on the political processes. Guess what? There's still murder and mayhem on a daily basis.

I was also a soldier, and served my country. My family has a tradition of service; with very few exceptions ALL of my cousins have served. Some have died fighting in this "war on Terror". I served because I believe in the freedoms enshrined in our Constitution. I am disgusted that Americans have been brainwashed to believe that "only the bad people have something to fear". I want the freedoms I served for, the freedoms my cousins have died for. Damn it, I want my country back.

Jones texts are scary.

finally logic prevails. I looked at a private Christian school for my son. They used the "Bob Jones" texts. Scariest moment was when the teacher said "we teach evolution the same way we teach other myths...something you'll go to hell for believing in".

Needless to say, my son doesn't attend that school.

where's the BOFH coffee cups?

I NEED a BOFH coffee cup - until I've had my first pot or 2 I'm at my most diabolical.
