bush and personal liberty
I was reading Jeremy Zawodny’s blog entry about Dan Gillmor leaving his regular column for a new venture. Since I had no idea who Dan Gillmor was, I checked him out and started reading several of his columns. This column in particular stood out to me, as he has expressed my feelings exactly on how I feel about Bush and his trampling on Americans’ personal liberties during his term in office. I voted for him the first time around, but certainly not the second time. He always says that he loves freedom, but so many things that he does shows that he doesn’t understand what freedom is, and that he really doesn’t believe in it. If Bush really believes in the principles in the Constitution, how can he apply those principles only when it suits his agenda, and ignore them when they don’t? I can only hope that his new Cabinet will challenge his principles and decisions, and get us back on track protecting Americans’ personal liberties.
