Who's been attacked in the last 7 years?

Ugh. If I have to hear one more person try to stick up for the legacy of the Bush Administration with this tired argument one more time, I may explode: "But you HAVE to admit, we haven't been attacked in the last seven years!"

As my sainted grandmother used to say, BULL. Attacked in the last seven years:

• Our civil liberties
• The Genenva Conventions
• Reproductive rights
• Stem-cell research
• The public school system
  
• Science
• The United Nations
• The environment
• Freedom of Information
• Government accountability
• Truth
• The English language

What did I miss?

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

- Benjamin Franklin
