Maher: What Americans have Sacrificed

"You've given up faith in your government's honesty, the good will of people overseas, and 6/10 of the Bill of Rights. Here's what you've sacrificed: search and seizure, warrants, self incrimination, trial by jury, cruel and unusual punishment."

We need to elect a new government, badly. One that will restore not only the Bill of Rights but our commitment to human rights. A leader with a conscience and principles. (Hint: as opposed to Hillary the poll-chaser).

Today, as people here protest the war AGAIN, the bigger problem is ignored: GWB and his administration can do anything they want, no matter how immoral or illegal it is. And the Democrats sigh and look the other way, mouthing soft placating phrases.
