Manipulated by the Left

Submitted by John (United States), Dec 28, 2004 at 15:08

The left screams about perceived losses of freedom due to the Patriot Act. They also carry on about how Republicans are trying to force religion down the throats of the US and illegally ban abortion.

The absolute truth is that Republicans obey the law and respect our liberty as much as Democrats. Since 1980 there has only been one President from the Democrat Party. Still abortion is legal, forcing children to pray in schools is not allowed, there is still a strong separation of church and state and there is still no evidence of any loss of freedom due to the Patriot Act.

... The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II has nothing to do with screening Muslims who fit the profile of terrorists. Propaganda is effective not for its facts, it is effective due to its misrepresentations and its appeal to people's emotions. Just ask Michael Moore or Joseph Goebbels.
