Excuse me, but not in this country. In this country, you are *innocent*

Not if you're a Patriot (with a capital "P"), like Jack.



By almost all rational criteria, our country is in far worse shape than
it was before Bush assumed office.

We're mired in a trumped-up war, with hundreds of American soldiers dead.

The budget deficit is through the roof.

Civil liberties are under attack.

Our standing in the world has fallen.

Anti pollution regs have been softened.

Workers rights have diminished.

And the list goes on and on and on.


We have an affable idiot in the white house now. We deserve better.
