No, that event was during Abraham Lincoln's tenure.

We'd been taxed to death. The first and second amendments gutted. Similarly for states rights and property rights and right to a fair trial. All this stuff accelerated - badly - under GWB's watch. But it is not at all new. And in every case, there were no small number of Democrats in congress who were glad to help him destroy our rights. And who will you vote for in 2008? And will it be less of a mistake than my vote for (tooey) Bush in 00/04? And would my vote have been better spent on that liar phony Kerry or Gore? I will vote 3rd party in 2 years. Any 3rd party. Or just not vote at all. We simply must gut the 2-party system that continues to offer us Satan and Satan Reloaded every 2 years in every election from the mayor level on up. >> Is GWB a worse president than Clinton?

That's what *all* prior administrations did. Name one that didn't. And don't forget that "the power to tax is the power to destroy". So you can't separate crushing taxation and reckless spending from civil rights. Lose one, lose the other. The government has too much power. And they have it in large part because they have too much of our money to spend to fund their trampling of our civil rights. >> In two short years GWB will be gone.

So they'll show their monumental stupidity and vote for a Democrat and the destruction will continue. As it has for more than a hundred years. What's *your* solution?
