What rights have you lost due to President Bush?

Question

Me? None, zip, nada, zilch!!

Answer 1

I have lost none either.

You have to love all the people complaining about the Bill of Rights being destroyed. But they can not give any evidence to support it.

Answer 2

The only right I have lost is the right to be home with my family. But I gave up that right voluntarily 20 years ago when I joined the Army. Only now I stand more of a chance of going off to war as I have already done twice.

The way I see it, it's an honor and a privilege to serve my country and I do it with with pride. I don't blame him for sending me to Iraq. It's something that we should have done in 1991 but the UN was not going to let us. It was the right thing to do.

I have not lost any rights or liberties. My liberties have only been strengthened by his strong resolve and dedication to our safety and security.

Answer 3

Several rights have been lost. When Gitmo was first opened Donald Rumsfeld (Secretary of Defense) and (Department of Justice) announced that everyone there was a "dangerous person." How many tribunals have we witnessed so far? The answer is 1. Jack Roche, a suspected Australian jihadist was released to the Australian government in 2007 after his tribunal. He got 9 months and was convicted of nothing. He signed a document which said he had not been treated badly while in Gitmo, and that he agreed that the military had enough evidence to prosecute him, although they would not prosecute him. If he has done nothing wrong, then why didn't he refuse to sign the agreement? Well, if you have been in detention in Gitmo for almost 5 years, he might sign anything to get out. I know I would.

So Jack Roche is the first & best example we have of the prosecution techniques of our military tribunals. I don't have much hope for the rest. The next one is the trial of a 15 year-old Afghani kid who may, or may not have killed American soldiers. Is this working well for the U.S?

We also put John Walker Lindh, the "American Jihadist," in jail for 20 years for doing nothing more serious than carrying a gun in a war zone. Lindh may be stupid, but I fail to see how he is a terrorist. He copped the 20-year plea because he knew that he didn't stand a chance in a U.S. court of getting a jury of his peers.

Answer 4

The hearts of kings are in the Lord's hands & like the rivers of water he modifications their classes whitch ever way He needs. Mr, bejabbers according to probability you stay in the incorrect u . s .. the rationalization we carry to the bible says is via the fact that's the sole actual & God is an analogous the day merely before this immediately & continuously. in case you don't like it finally end up yet another u . s . to flow stay in. i'm advantageous that there is an immigrant waiting to legally take your place.

Answer 5

As long as you aren't a terrorist, you haven't lost ANY rights!

Change tack, and your phone calls will be traced and screened.

*shrug* If the water is hot, don't stick your toe in it!

The libs are upset because now they can't do all the disruptive activities they could do in the '90s. So, now they paint anything that Bush does as counterproductive.

The media want us to feel empathy for terrorists like we USED to be able to do while Billybob was in the Oral Office. He fought terrorism with the police to little effect. Attacks on the U.S.S. Cole and U.S. embassies in Africa are indicators to the effectiveness of this plan.

Answer 6

Me, I've haven't lost any rights... If Bush was all evil and maniacal as everyone perpetuates him to be, you wouldn't see any of these anti-Bush rants on the Internet

Answer 7

I no longer have a right to privacy. They can evesdrop on my phone calls, emails, conversations, or even this message without a warrant or any particular reason. And they don't even have to tell me. They can find out what books I buy at the bookstore or checkout from the library, they can demand my bank records, all without a court order. Most frightening of all, they can kidnap me, imprison me in a secret location in this country or elsewhere, torture me, never accuse me of anything, never let me see a lawyer or my family, and keep me for as long as they want without trial. Sure, it hasn't happened to me, but it's happened to plenty of people, some of whom the government has already admitted were innocent. And if I wait until they come after me, it's too late to object, don't you think? Sure doesn't fit my idea of America, the land of the free.

Answer 8

The problem isn't the average joe. Average joe's never have to worry about their rights, because they never do anything to threaten the status quo.

The only people who should be allowed to answer a question like this are extremists of one stripe or another. If you have never done anything where you fear governmental reprisal, it's absurd to even ask the question.

Answer 9

none, I think that those that are saying they have lost rights are afraid that their dirty little secrets might come out.
we do not have the freedom to harm others. as for those of you that think you have lost your right to infringe upon the rights and freedoms of others in the USA, you have never had that right.

Answer 10

Actually you have.

Right now under Emperor Bush you can be taken by the authorities, detained without reason, held without any charges being filed, held with no time limit, be taken and detained indefinitely without any oversight or knowledge of any other governmental body.....all on the whim of the words "enemy" as defined SOLELY by the President.

Right now the government can walk into your house, search everything and leave without any oversight or consent, and they do not need any cause to do it.

That sound very American to you?
Because it sounds more like the USSR to me where those who voice any dissent are taken in the night never to be seen again

Because it is the furthest thing from American values there could possibly be..any anyone who supports it is the enemy of freedom, liberty, decency, morality, intelligence and democracy.

ADD> Oh people putting thumbs down my answer...guess they "cannot handle the truth" since this is pure fact...I have not made anything up or even embellished it...this is pure solid facts on what Bush+Co can do. Also I am not saying this to be anti-Republican...I hold the Democrats equally to blame for this travesty


mustagme> No this has to do with respect for Constitution and the rule of law...which Bush, his cronies and supporters do not understand or possess. America is supposed to be a land of the free and a land ruled by the people....not a land where any freedom you have is by the good graces of the President. Now assuming no one has been searched/detained (which is not true) the fact they have not done so does NOT justify giving them this power in opposition to everything America was created to be.

Bill H > Do you not know what government can now do...they are in total violation of the 4th Amendment by spying on phone, internet, email..can hack into your computer for no more reason than boredom......again Government was NEVER supposed to be give absolute power...but here we go paving the way for a King of America by giving them more and more power and people losing more and more....even if Bush was a saint and would never abuse why do you keep setting up a process where anyone not a saint will have such absolute control?
