freedom is on the march

the enabling act of 2006 ......."Fellow citizens, this bill throws out legal and moral restraints as the president deems it necessary—these are fundamental principles of basic decency, as well as law.

and right on it's heel the 2007 "defense" authorization bill.......wake up America.........
