Happy July 4th

This is a day that all American's should hold close in their hearts. I however cannot help but feel sad regarding all of the freedoms that have been taken away from us in the name of "The long war on terror".

Warrants seem to no longer be required to gather personal information about us. (bye bye 4th amendment)

Police need no longer announce themselves before entering a home.

We can be held indefinitely without access to legal counsel and no charges.

There is an all out war against freedom of the press.

There are "protest zones" for free speech.

I am certain there are many more, I am just too tired and too sad to think of them all.

"Stop throwing the constitution in my face, it's just a piece of paper"... GWB.

Happy Independence Day everyone.
