Do you believe President Bush has the power to spy on you without a warrant, imprison you indefinitely without access to due process, and subject you to "enhanced interrogation" techniques such as waterboarding?

If you answered yes, then you should rejoice, because that's exactly what President Bush has not only claimed, but actually exercised (see Yasser Esam Hamdi, Jose Padilla, Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri).

And if you answered yes, do you also believe a President Obama should have this power, or President Hillary, or President Kerry, or President Gore, or President Dukakis?

And if you answered yes, what would keep President Bush from spying on his political opponents, except his own retarded morality?

And if you answered yes, what is the difference between President Bush and every two-bit tin-pot dictator we denounce and claim moral superiority over?

And if you answered yes, how do you reconcile this with your supposed belief in "small government" and "freedom."

And if you answered yes, what's more important to you, your right to bear arms, or your right to due process, or your protection against illegal searches and seizures?

Because right now, the only thing protecting your civil liberties (remember those?) is your gun.

Watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do, when President Bush comes for you...
