Default What

Taken from georgewush site: "In an era where your civil rights get shredded by the political majority, and elected leaders break the law while stoking exaggerated fears with the false justification of war, it is the duty of the regular citizen to speak up. Democracy is about the voice of the individual, the freedom to express what’s on his or her mind, and what is in the heart."
-----------------------
This freedom you talk about "the freedom to express what's on his or her mind, ..." does NOT come, as so many seem to think, without responsibility. You are responsible for what you say and what repercussions materialize from it. First one should have some sense of good judgment, some common sense. The thoughts should be based in logic and in some sort of truth, backed up by facts.
Multiple times the people expressing their view on this site that they have lost some right have been invited to express exactly WHAT right they have had taken away AND to provide some sort of substantial evidence to back it up. To date there have been no such posts.
Also no law broken by our leaders, that relate to the war in Iraq, have been specified either. It is one thing to espouse a point of view but quite another to do so based on facts and have some supporting evidence to back it up. So far I have seen NO posts on either lost rights or laws broken that provide anything close to a real, substantial claim.
