Poem
My Constitutional Rights as an American Citizen no longer apply to me. It's as if I were never ever born in America, My Most Beloved Country. Thanks to the Bush administration and the administration presently I have become truly what I can only define as an American Refugee and I'm not the only one. There is now over A Million Suspected Enemy Combatants just like me. We have all been placed on the government's watch list because we reserve the right to peacefully protest and demand answers to our questions regarding the 9/11 tragedy. Right now, thanks to the Bush administration and the administration currently the President can order anyone to brake into my home without a warrant literally and search and seize by whatever means all of my property. Under authority of the President they can detain me indefinitely without notifying any of my friends or family, at any undisclosed location without any legal representation allowable to me. Did I mention that a warrant they do not need? I can be tortured but they call it "Enhanced Interrogation" because again, thanks to the previous Bush administration president Bush enacted into law that Suspected Enemy Combatants are not prisoners of war and not subject to the Geneva Convention. Perhaps none of the above will ever happen to me but that doesn't matter because it still could very well come to be. The bottom line is that many other decent people just like me have been stripped of their American Constitutional Liberties and all because we reserve the right to protest our government peacefully regarding events that preceeded the horrific 9/11 tragedy. My God given Constitutional Rights have been taken away from me. I am truly a man without a country, an American Refugee. Am I the only one who finds this scary? http://billythekidsters-antisocialclub.ning.com/forum/topics/american-gulag
