Gearhead your one of the few people who seem to have formed opinions instead of choosing a party. Both parties have people who are so convinced in the righteousness of what their doing that their ends can justify their means. In a healthy democracy the means are everything and how we do it is just as important as what we do. Unfortunately right now in the White house the fringe has hijacked the Republican party and we are at the behest of people who are so sure of their causes they don't care how they go about trying to achieve them. Wiretapping and Guantanamo are just two examples of an administration that has used the term, "executive priviledge," and signing statements to trample both the spirit and letter of the laws which uphold our free society.

and on a side note, enjoy your guns.
