The President is a tyrant who violates our civil rights

No, sorry. I'm not talking about President Bush. President Bush is not a tyrant.

This is a tyrant.

You see the difference? Wanting the tools to arrest terrorists... not a tyrant.

Summary executions of opposed religious leaders, students, and civilians... That's a tyrant.

So, if you've railed against the Patriot Act, but not against things like this, it's time to wake up and get serious. Taking off your shoes at the airport isn't 'oppression'. Having your family learn that you've been executed after you're already dead is oppression.
