    No, non-citizens especially in a time of war should not and are not granted any constitutional rights....oh and piss on their Geneva Convention rights too.

    You do understand the meaning of the word enemy, right?

    The Iraqis were our enemy??

    As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except Negroes." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics." When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty - to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure and without the base alloy of hypocrisy." The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume II, "Letter to Joshua F. Speed" (August 24, 1855), p. 323.

    27, 1860
