Censure Peace, Promote War...

The folks at Move America Forward have really crossed the line with this one... I saw an add today on tv calling for censuring former President Carter (in response to the call to do the same with GW)

Let's see now... GW decides to sign an order allowing illegal wiretaps the phones of US citizens without a warrant. (not to mention the plethora of impeachable offenses that have been ignored...) We have laws that protect freedom for a reason. GW has on many occasions said that 'he is in charge and he will do what he wants...' All in the name of safety?? (...then why do I feel less safe then I did before?)

Jimmy Carter on the other hand has - as much as anyone alive today - worked tirelessly for peace. Sometimes that requires a person to go and - god forbid - talk with your enemies instead of just sending our children there to blow them up (and hope that they don't die themselves in the process)

Being against the war and the policy of first strike doesn't mean a person doesn't support the troops - frankly, I can't see anyway to make them safer then to not keep putting them into pointless combat... For an organization that claims to support our troops, they sure are doing everything in their power keep them fighting. It's time to put these nutjobs back where they belong - on the fringe margins of society.
