That should be the "t-shirt theme" for the 2006 midterms. George W. Bush's policies have made us less safe and less free. We have the latest
National Intelligence Estimate showing that the Iraq war has increase the threat of Islamic terrorism. This is George W. Bush's dirty little war, and we're less safe because of it.
But we're also less free - Patriot Act, Illegal wiretapping, renditions, torture. George W. Bush and his cronies make their power grab at the expense of the Bill of Rights, and they are so arrogant that the openly do it and admit it. To quote my favorite founding father:
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
*Thomas Jefferson, to Archibald Stuart, 1791
So, I urge everyone to contact the Democratic leadership and urge them to hammer home the point that under George W. Bush and the Republican leadership, we are
less safe, less free.
