Consigned Conscience

By Gedvondur (Fri Mar 12, 2010 at 10:39:10 AM EST) politics, torture, freedom, liberty (all tags)

"Spying" on Americans

By veldmon (Sat May 13, 2006 at 01:25:32 PM EST) freedom, privacy, FUD-flu (all tags)

It's difficult to defend the President's efforts to safeguard liberty now that his poll numbers are so low. Americans have a habit of becoming cranky once they see that the press ceases giving the nation's Leader at least a 4 out of 10. I don't blame my fellow citizens, the press has the loudest voice after all. But it is uncomfortable presenting an argument in an uncivil environment.
