Allowing the government to seize and detain an American Citizen without appearing before a judge and charged with a crime and to place that individual in Cuba indefinitely on the say so of the military or our government is the start of the slippery slope our Founders warned us about.
God Bless Senator Paul for fighting this, and all should remember this in Nov 2012.
our liberties and our Constitution are being eroded daily by an omni present federal government, and never so much as under this socialist administration.
this is not a democrat, republican thing. This is a U.S Citizen thing. this is a what will our kids live under thing.
this is a what did our parents do to us thing.
JMHO

Glad to see common ground w/the liberal who posted this on my FB...he is as disgusted by this as you are...this a good example of why we need to put aside partisan bickering and get together against the real common threat to our liberties which has become the very lawmakers we elect, only to find them working hard AGAINST US. Lindsey Graham is on the Senate Armed Services Committee...which is the same as on the take from military supplies manufacturers...he and I are from SC, but could NOT be further apart in what we believe to be patriotism and the good of this country...and as you say, Willy, the good of our children.
There's nothing wrong w/our government..except the people who operate it..and WITHIN it. Please put aside your partisan beliefs and vote against every incumbent career politician you can on every level of government...we need to send the message to our lawmakers we are tired of them being lead around by their wallets and will no longer tolerate it. I know the difficulty in what I'm suggesting...a liberal dem voting for a rep??...perish the thought...or a staunch rep pulling the ticket for a liberal dem??...I'll DIE first...but the threat to the American way of life is greater from within than the issues that divide the parties...the arrogance of power that pervades the Congress today has to be dealt with. Vote 'em OUT. NOW.
If there is a sitting politician who is against the status-quo political payola, he/she needs to stand up and denounce corporate ownership of Congress...there's no gray area here...we control our inherited liberties as Americans, or we leave it up to corporate politics...it's really in our hands.
