Death bats 1.000

Like it or not, "no one gets out alive" is more than a title of a book about Jim Morrison, it is an absolute fact. Face it, we all are going to die but does that fact give the Republicans the right to steal our civil liberties away from us? Well that is exactly what happened on Tuesday.
With the stroke of a pen, George W. Bush did what enemies of this country have tried to do with a gun for over 200 years. He killed the United States of America. The Military Commissions Act of 2006 will go down in history as the exact moment of death of American democracy.
How did this happen? It happened because the Republicans are pussies and are afraid of dying, plain and simple. Therefore, they willingly gave up the rights of not only themselves but of every American just so they could stave off the Grim Reaper for another day.
What in the hell are they afraid of? Death is not that hard and even if you count the one lone liberal who was reportedly able to go for a walk three days after his demise, it has a nearly perfect record of success. Don't believe me, just visit the nearest cemetery, morgue or mortuary and you will see hundreds of people stacked liked cordwood that were totally successful in dying.
But, the Republican sheeple are so scared that they might be the victim of an act of "terraism" they gave away the right of every American to a fair trial. The fact of the matter is that there is only a slightly better chance of dying from a "terraist" attack than Ann Coulter successfully inserting an IUD. Yet, the poor little lambs of the Republican ideology just did not like those odds. Fucking cowards!
One has to wonder if there is anything that they are not afraid of. From gay marriage to too few nativity scenes in front of the courthouse, the Republican right feels they are being persecuted. As if the result of two men exchanging wedding vows is going to force Pat and Jerry to leave their wives in order to live the rest of their lives with stool on their tools. And just how many plaster Jesus, Mary and Josephs does it take to get into heaven anyway?
For years I heard the Republicans talk about how they were the party of strength, but since 9/11 they have turned into a bunch of Chicken Little's crying about the sky falling in order to justify whatever they do. It is disgusting the way they use a crime committed on every American to justify their committing crimes against Americans.
Do not get me wrong, I am in full support of keeping people alive, especially when it comes to yours truly, but I am not willing to let a fear of death get in the way of living free. The trade off is just not worth it. What is life if you cannot come and go as you wish? What is life worth if the leader of the country can jail you without reason? What is life worth if you cannot say what you wish? What is your life worth if you are not free?
