"Freedom of opinion can only exist

when the government thinks itself secure."

I guess that is the problem with America after 9-11-2001.

5 years later and it is getting very difficult to say BOO.

To bring up anything negative against President GW BUSH.

It is unfortunate that at war time that

this President seems to think he has free reign on Americans.

Lately, the talk has turned that a voice against some of Bush is a voice disrespecting the US troops. That is so far from the truth as far as I am concerned. I love this country. I love my fellow American,therefore, the troops are much loved. They can not help the mess we are involved in.

The media has been lambasted, all media except for the real propaganda blasters. So the citizens, like me ,for example , have to take over and put pieces together daily because the story may be gone in hours as the plug gets pulled on the story. It has been happening more and more and that scares THIS American.

Recently, a few stories emerged regarding reports that had been edited and changed. Not only reports but transcripts of conferences and news events. With the President and Co always saying that they didn't know about this or that, claiming BAD INTEL ect maybe it would help him out if he heard and read the ACTUAL TRUTH instead of the spin his Generals spin for their job security.

Don't get complacent because a Republican is in office. It has become a serious problem for Americans for the checks and balances have pretty much been removed from this Presidency.

If you put a frog in a pan of water and gentally turn up the heat..he never knows he is cooking.

I feel the heat is slowly being raised.
