The Bushites yearn to diminish the protections guaranteed to the people by the Constitution of the United States. They desire more and more power, and the Constitution is an "Inconvenient Truth".

To them, I commend the words of that great man who was one of the founding fathers of our country, Benjamin Franklin:

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
