Freedom Bites the Dust
If this MSNBC report is to be believed, we can hope never to hear "they hate us for our freedom" again from the president - because our freedom will be gone. Freedom is definitely not on the march here at home as our right to peaceful assembly has now fallen by the wayside. The report describes how the military is now spying on protesters. This joins other freedoms such as speech (criticizing the government is treasonous), religion, and many human and civil rights. I think all we can count on is the right to bear arms.

I strongly support the proscription of political activity by the military. I believe the military should remain apolitical. If you look at countries with political militaries, it's generally not a particularly good thing. These populations are quite familiar with the term coup d'etat. It also seems that an overtly politicized military would foment schisms among war fighters that have the most dangerous weapons in the world. I don't think that's a good thing.
