Oh, of course, the Republicans don’t need<\/em> to ask for permission! Screw that whole concept that we as a voting public should be in agreement over who to fight against, and who to “defend” against. Because you see, we’re too stupid as a public to determine who our enemies are. Let’s let the good ol’ Republicans determine who our moral enemies are, and then spend years bombing every place they can and still fail to reign in those enemies. Let them bomb countries and send soldiers to their deaths trying to find threats in places where they simply don’t exist.<\/p>\n Remember that Republicans are the only ones to unilaterally declare war without asking Congress to make the declaration first, as was the original intent of the Constitution. Remember that Republicans have worked long and hard to cast the Constitution aside, all in favor of defending our country. After all, who needs freedom when you have all-encompasing, all-imposing security? You don’t need rights! What you need a government so paranoid that it trolls livejournal entries for perceived terrorism “threats” and uses intimidation to silence the opinionated<\/a>, no matter how benign the wording might be.<\/p>\n Vote Republican.
