Welcome to the Nazi Kangaroo Court (Formerly Known as the United States Supreme Court)

On the day that I learn that the great visionary Coretta Scott King has passed on, I also learn that Samuel Alito- that great defender of abortion rights and civil rights- has been voted in to become Associate Justice of the United States. And you know what this means.

Can you say "rights being taken away"? A woman's right to choose, severely restricted, if not taken away outright. Affirmative Action, drastically reduced. There's another reason that flags are lowered to half staff this day. It's because we're witnessing the beginning of the death of our civil liberties. And I'm afraid that's what our el presidente wants to see happen. He says that it's all in the name of protecting the United States from terrorist attacks. But I think that Bush the Younger has a more evil agenda in the two years that he has left in his administration. He wants to turn this country into a Christianized version of Islamic countries. Where gays and lesbians are forced back into the closet; where African-Americans- such as this blog's author- and persons of other races (other than European/white/Caucasian/Aryan- have their civil rights severely restricted, if not outrtight stripped away. Where dissent means a trip to the gas chambers.

I know that I'm going to extremes here, but President Bush got what he wanted- a court that's more to his narrow-minded, nearly (if not completely) bigoted way of thinking. I guess I'm interested in seeing how things turn out over the next few years. The decisions will impact my own- on whether I remain a native-born American citizen, or a European one (thanks to the recent election in Canada, I'm no longer holding out much hope for our neighbors up north. This new prime minister elect, Stephen Harper, sounds like he's trying to get a bit too cozy with Little Adolf ). Which means that soon, Canada will become an extended part of the United States-George W. Bush era. Oh, Canada, look what you're about to get yourselves into.
