security

-Benjamin Franklin...

I see a mindset among some here that it doesn't matter how a politician feels about individual rights as long as he opposes the Iraq war. This is short sited and dangerous. The war will long be over, as all wars "good" and "bad" are , and we will still be fighting for civil rights for gays, reproductive rights for women, and borders that are open and (safe)...

My individual rights are not up for plebiscite and I will resist any party or person who believes they are. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin a person who trades some rights for other rights will end up with no rights at all...
