AMERICA, WHERE ARE YOU ??

I'm a Civil Libertarian and I am appalled by what is happening in this country!

The P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act *how ironic*
The NSA Spying Even Truman would be angry!
Assault on Habeas Corpus Some were citizens!
Torture and Rendition You just don't do it!
And now this...?? Where's the 4th Amendment?

Court Eases 'No Knock' Search Ban

Where is my country? I don't even recognize this place anymore.

Some members of the Senate want to ban the burning of the flag, but they (and our higher court) sure don't mind burning our Constitution and our Bill of Rights.

I want my country back, and I cannot get this quote out of my mind:

(Edited: Even though the following may not be found in the writings of Tocqueville, the quote is nevertheless... a truth.

Perhaps that is the reason the attribution continues to thrive, Mr. Pitney.)

"America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great."

~ Tocqueville, 1831 ~ (Unverified)
