Wow. This sets a very bad precident. If a president can abuse this power to the extent that this administration has then future administrations will have the option of becoming a outright dictatorship.

America needs to wake up!.....The system of government that has been maintained for the past 20 years is now being threatened.


This chronological period has the undertones of Ancient Rome as it shifted from a republic to an empire. We all know the repercussions of that shift.

Yeah, there was a good interview on the Daily Show with an author who just wrote a book about this.

I have only two things to say:

F*ck Bush

I think that would settle most of America's problems.

Signing stetements aren't a danger to "democracy" to the extent that executive orders are if you want to get technical about Presidential "abuse of power".

AAAAAHHHHH, I F*CKING HATE steven harper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't beleive these ignorant morons around here actually elected him, albeit a minority government but they're already buying his bullsh!t for re-election! Idiot rural/religious Canadians man, this a-hole is in office all because of that so-called sponsorship scandal, their campaign was nothing but a paranoid smear campaign aimed at all the ignorant masses out there who still think there's such a thing an honest politician out there. I'll take a currupt Liberal or NDP over a supposed straight-shooting conservative any day. They're all gonna fill their pockets with our money anyway, at least let it be leaders who won't take away rights and freedoms in the process, not to mention only favour wealthy w.a.s.p's and big business..

Ever see those "I'm High On The Lord" T-shirts and such?

I've decided to start my own brand with quotes such as:

I'm fücked up on Jesus!
I'm fücked up on Allah!

I'm also placing bets on what one gets you killed first...I call the latter.
