Give Us Liberty...

For Dean supporters, these are not good times.  Some of us, including myself, are wondering if there's a point in going on.  But the stakes are too high for us to quit.

Here's the reason why.

This column is taken from the libertarian site lewrockwell.com, and covers edicts issued by our occupying forces in Iraq.  The key paragraph is:

In short, the US is claiming that it could round up 10,000 to 20,000 Americans and hold them without trial on the mere suspicion of wrongdoing - which could consist only of writing and selling a popular song that takes an anti-regime political view. Many people warn that this is precisely what the administration's Patriot Act makes possible. It criminalizes speech and permits the government to round people up without trial solely on grounds that they are saying things the government doesn't like.

And that is why we must change the system.  This iis why John Kerry, Wes Clark, and John Edwards, decent as they may be, won't cut it.
