Now why am I not surprised that it is the Republicans leading the charge
to take away more of our rights and freedoms? They are good at creating
a 'boogyman' and then whipping up public sentiment to demand more of our
rights and freedoms be taken away. What is it with today's list
offerings? Almost every one seems to be glaring examples of our
continual loss of rights and freedoms. Is it just me or are others
seeing an escalation of the attacks on the Constitution "for our own
good"?

major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
