Re: liberal distortion as usual
There is no bomb, no gun, no idea or threat as dangerous to the citizens of a nation as its government gone mad. There is no threat to "national security" whose defeat is more important that the protection of the rights that define the nation itself.
Every speach Bush made after 9/11 marks him for the traitor he is. When he decried the terrorists as trying to change our way of life, to take away our freedom, he was right...
But he is the one actually doing it. May God forgive him, because I surely won't.

Re: moving on
I'll let them get away with what they want as long as i'm getting away with what I want. When shit starts affecting me is when I'll get involved.
Wow, "Love thy neighbor as you love yourself" means "let your neighbor get screwed, wrongfully imprisoned, tortured, and abused with no legal recourse or oversight, becasue it doesn't affect you."
That's good to know. Here I thought Christianity was a religion of charity, love, and compassion for your fellow man. I guess all that "what you do to the least of you, you do to me as well" stuff was just irrelevant ramblings, and Jesus didn't mean them.
That entire attitude is selfish, uncaring, and is what led to Hitler's genocide of the Jews, as well as countless other travesties against humanity. It makes me sick.

Don't let me speak for christianity. Just because I'm a christian doesn't mean I'm a good one. I mean, I'm jut not doing a very good job of being chritian. How does that redefine all of the christian principles?
Okay, so you admit that supporting this legislation is contrary to the values taught by the "truth of Jesus" as you put it earlier, those same values you recently decided to embrace.
But wait, you still don't oppose the new laws, even after realizing this! That's not a matter of being a poor Christian, that's just apathy on the level of being plain evil. You do relize that it's this apathy that actually allows tyrants to take control, right? Caused the Holocaust, and all that? "All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing."
Don't get sick over my attitude. I'll admit that I can be a little selfish and uncaring. I'm just a dead fish, going with the flow.
That's the worst defense of an immoral position I've ever heard. You aren't only apathetic, you know that bad things are happening that you could help stop, and yet you knowingly do nothing. That's no longer simply letting the things out of your control happen, that's active support. You aren't just letting a guy drown because you can't help him, you're holding a life preserver and laughing at him.
