George Bush arguing in favor of a XXVIII Amendment sounds like a racist arguing against passage of Amendment XV or a sexist against Amendment XIX. His empty cautionary words "As this debate goes forward, we must remember that every American deserves to be treated with tolerance, respect, and dignity" do nothing to stop the violence, hate, superstition, ignorance & lurid imaginations of the millions of homophobes running loose in America who, like the Ku Klux Klan, gather around large illuminated crosses. In World World Two, when we were fighting to-the-death one of the most evil racist regimes in history, our armed forces were completely segregated & German POWs were treated better than African-American G.I.s. Well, we've gotten over the silly hangup of adhering to the standards of the Geneva Conventions, so why not also curtail the expansion of human rights here in the USA? Our current "War on Terrorism" requires nothing of most Americans beyond allowing a few previously inviolable Constitutional rights to be quietly violated. The fools running our government have a lot more in common with radical Islamic fundamentalism than they'll ever acknowledge.
