In light of all that has come out about our President spying on American citizens (call it what you want, it still amounts to spying on American citizens) I can't help but think of the words of Benjamin Franklin. Yes, the guy that went and flew a kite during a thunderstorm. Okay, so he wasn't the brightest guy around, but he still made a very true statement: "Those that would sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither freedom nor security."
How do you suppose they would feel, knowing that American men and woman are in a foreign country dying to liberate those people while on American soil the government was hard at work trying to restrict the personal freedoms of Americans? What would they think of a President who feels that the Constitution should be set aside while we fight a war that was never actually declared a war? What would these men, who made it very clear that religion has no place in government, do if they had known that we would one day have an administration determined to make us all conform to the mold of Christian morality?
Since President Bush says he talks to Jesus in the Oval Office, I wonder if he's asked the question, Who would Jesus bomb?
