Congress goes off the deep end

Kuresu, what you just said is blasphemy! You are unpatriotic to disagree with our godly president.

I've been keeping track of this debate ever since it made the big splash a couple years ago.The best explanation I've heard so far is the one liner that the president and several republican reps and senators have been saying for a long time now: "We are doing what is necessary to insure the safety of the American people."Just last night, there was a debate about a similar issue. The democrats were saying how America has been known as the nuremberg nation for the last 50 years and the last thing we need is for the world to start thinking that we are now the quantanamo (sp?) nation. Immediately, a republican rep responded by saying that the democrats aren't willing to take the necessary steps to keep this nation safe. It's more complicated than that and you may be hearing from a very bias perspective (mine), so sucks for you for not keeping track of the politics.But the point is there really has not been any good explanation for the act.

I'd like to think that it is as simple as you say it is. I'm not a politician and have no political ambition so I can't say I know exactly what's going on. With that said, if it's as simple as you say it is, how come the dems aren't screaming their heads off to make the public more aware of what's going on?

Imagine this. Your hands are tied behind your back. A cage full of hungry rats are attached to your face. Between your face and the rats is just a cage door waiting to be openned. At the threat of having your face eaten by starving rats, wouldn't you confess to anything? Heck, wouldn't you make up anything at all to get you off the hook?
