[QUOTE="Gone For Good, post: 75827"] mac, I did read the entire link. I believe that Bastiat would consider just about every modern politician a criminal. Since the title of the thread is "The Law", I thought it apropos to comment on the current situation in this country. Our president has started an arguably illegal war, resorted to torture of illegally held combatants, and spied illegally on US citizens. He has not only shredded the Constitution, but made mockery of the Magna Carta, on which it was based. Who would have thought that we would actually have a debate on what types of torture we should allow Americans to inflict? His crimes go far beyond those of Clinton, or his father before him. He has reached the point where perhaps only Nixon has been proven more corrupt; and that remains to be seen. We dont know if Bush spied on his political opponents yet. We do already know that the IRS made note of political affiliation. It is only through the stupidity and blindness of the populous that he remains in power. Can you imagine the uproar we would have if Clinton had attempted half of what Bush has done? The thing the Republicans dont realize (at least the shortsighted ones here) is that the Democrats will soon take the White House and the Congress, and all the sweeping powers that they have allowed Bush to seize will then be in the hands of maybe Hillary, their worst nightmare! I know that I can never change the minds of closed minded ideologues like tie, and blind followers like danny and .5 (you think danny would know better than to be a follower, give his heritage), but I only hope that things turn around for the better soon, otherwise they may realize too late, wow, thats what she was talking about! Adios. [/QUOTE]
