Cliff LyonChris Cannon is an American Traitor
Each day brings another shockingly anti-American assault on the US Constitution. Today it came from our very own Congressman Chris Cannon; you know, the one who shrilled for the party to impeach Clinton; the most expensive, national embarrasment, and waste of time in modern history, Oh, and the one just named in the top five most corrupt members of Congress (the House). Click here for a fresh list of transgressions.
Today Chris Cannon argued for a law that would
prevent people captured anywhere in the World from challenging their incarceration under Habeas Corpus or the Geneva Convention. They laughed at him.
But they shouldn’t have. He is a danger to our democracy.
Not even the republican dominated Judiciary Committee passed it.
I can think of nothing more unpatriotic than to effectively tell every American Serviceperson, that the very liberties for which they sacrificed or dedicated their lives is to be revoked.
Both Chris Cannon and Orin Hatch are classic authoritarian
personalities as well-established by personality the science of profiling.
Don’t take my word for it, other republicans are calling this bill deeply flawed and unconsitutional.
Chris Cannon has effectively committed conspiracy and treason. He will be served shortly.
In the meantime, please vote for Christian Burridge. He is a good lawyer, and a great man. Christian will take care of us NOT whom ever leads his party.

Something to consider in light of recent events.
Maher Arar is a Canadian of arab decent, that upon traveling out of Canada was stopped on his connecting flight from NYC. He was detained and questioned. When our officials did not believe him, or his history, he was sent to Syria, where he was contract tortured for the better part of a year.
Now, torturing people apart from being morally reprehensible, is also illegal under international law, or at least before this administration, it used to be. Yet this is not the matter I wish to address.
How is it that Syria, enemy of Israel, and the US, supporter of suicide killers/insurgents, provider of weapons for said, became the rent a center of torture for our wayward country?
Does this story add up? If Syria was supporting Hez-bullah, and various terrorist groups would they be your first choice to send suspected terrorists to, so they could be tortured to reveal the valuable information they held inside their twisted heads? Don’t you figure that once deposited in Syria, the Land of Terror, they would welcome Arar as their brethren and throw him a party? Except for one thing, he has been living in Canada since he was young, and has a simply tracable life that anyone with a database can investigate. He is not a terrorist. He is suing US, and well he should. If he gets no justice, well that’s dictatorship.
The logic is sadly unavoidably flawed. It would be safe to say that in accepting Arar to be tortured in Syria, that indeed, these good people(the Syrians) were only attempting to gain crucial information from those terrist monsters that hate our freedumb.
Would that not make them some kind of ally against the axis of evil? Of course they are according to bush, a critical member OF the “axis of evil” .
This story is wholly unreported in the US media, and well I figure the reason is, that the whole effort in the mid east is a pack of lies. This, since terrorism is historically the weapon of the weak against powerful interlopers that serve victim countries up injustice. What else to think?, if of course as an American you are doing any lately.
This is dictatorship, and the arabs who oppose it, are only doing what they can, which is more than I can say for the brain dead American public, that should at this time be removing by Constitional Law, the cretins in the administration. With this revelation, let’s just say it…
Stick a fork in our ass, we’re done.

It is possible to just say someone is wrong without resorting to labeling them with psychobabble. We can simply insist that our elected representatives commit to upholding the rule of law, enough said.

I think the 3rd District should be settled in a simple, honest buffet table eating contest. May the best lard-butt win. Hey Rob, you joining this one too?

The insistence that our elected officials uphold the law needs to be backed with penalties suitable to any crime done while in office.

We can choose to end torture by voting Dem this November.
