George,

With the likes of the Ayatollah-like preachments coming from the conservative fundamentalists, egged on by none other than the "Scalawag-in-Chief", assisted by the "Low Life-in-Chief", Representative Tom DeLay, we see a furthur erosion of our Constitutional guarantees.

If it wasn't the smoke screen, rabble rousing effort, akin to the flag burning issue, one might assume these were the efforts of truly religious zealots emulating their Islamic extremist brethren.

But, it isn't......it is another "Dark Side" cause meant to garner votes, or, in Delay's case, save his skin!

The most dangerous aspect of this McCarthy-like assault is the effort these mental pygmies are putting forth to demean our judicial system.....

A sinister mind might see a darker angle in that the growing demand for the impeachment of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld could, in that eventuality, wind up in a totally diminished and discredited court system, making the "rule of law" difficult to prevail.

Best we keep the military as our allies!
