We live in a country where our soldiers are declared imperialist murderers and sympathy for our enemies is encouraged.

I haven't really heard that much other than a very small minority. What I hear a lot more of is "My country, right or wrong." That's bullshit. Ben Franklin said that those who are willing to sacrifice their liberty in the name of security desrve little of either."

We live in a country where an unelected judiciary steps all over the separation of powers doctrine and expands the scope of Treaties

It's called the separation of powers and it's enshrined in the Constitution. That doctrine deserves more than just lip service. When our President starts to act as though he jas been empowered to rule rather than to govern, it's time to smack his nose with a rolled-up slip opinion.

We live in a country where "freedom of the press" now means "expose national security".

Without a free press, we have no security. If the federal government chooses to act as though it can suspend all due process in order to fight terrorism, it's the government that is creating terror.
