In U.S. politics, 'compassion' means giving money and privileges to well organized interest groups at everyone else's expense.

A country that goes out of its way to imprison the innocent has no business preaching democracy to the world.

There are enough fools in Washington to destroy the country without any help from Muslim terrorists.

Unequal group rights, the politics of redistribution and a Constitution whose meaning varies with changeable coalitions are a recipe for civil war.

A country in which 42% of the population is totally misinformed is not a country where democracy is safe.

The notion that Americans can be protected from "terror" by giving up the Bill of Rights is absurd. Democrats are complicit in this absurd notion. Many were intimidated into voting for police state legislation, because they lacked the intestinal fortitude to call police state legislation by its own name. The legislation that has been passed during the Bush regime is far more dangerous to Americans than Muslim terrorists.

The United States has entered the ranks of the failed states. One of the most remarkable manifestations of a failed state is that the criminals are all inside the government operating against the people, whereas in a normal state, the criminals are on the outside of the government, operating against it. So, we now have every manifestation of being a failed state, with the government in the hands of a few Wall Street gangsters.
