Bush Assault Rights and Freedoms
By Mike Hersh

Wednesday, August 29, 2001 (BushOccupation.com) -- Read this article concerning what has happened to Jesse Etheridge. It is just one of several instances in which the Bush Fascists have assaulted American rights and freedoms.

Seizing power illegally leaves Bush feeling vulnerable. Illegitimate, unqualified, and vicious, AWOL Bush bristles at any pointed questions from the media. Bush cannot tolerate anyone standing up to him. He knows any real scrutiny of his life and lies will shatter his carefully crafted image. What is a would-be tyrant to do?

He orders his secret police, and his fanatical followers, to intimidate, harass and silence dissidents. He sends police to arrest and beat elderly women, and deploys secret police to intimidate a house wife, a college student -- even yours truly for daring to question him.

Ignoring or suppressing free elections.

Clamping down on free speech.

Abuse of police authority to punish innocents.

Isn't this the modus operandi of Hitler and the Nazis? Do NOT sit back and take this abuse. Do NOT think W. Bush and the elites backing him have any decency or self control.

The Bush Occupation has already trampled your right to vote. Now they are shutting down your right to question them. The most infamous of last words are: "It couldn't happen here."

It's already started. Don't wait until they come for you. By then it will be too late.
