The ACLU has long had as its motto for its National Security Project: "Keep America Safe and Free." Here is their new logo:
Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol just created a new organization to advocate for neocon and Cheneyite policies and to depict Barack Obama as a surrender-happy Terrorist-lover. Its name is Keep America Safe and this is its logo:
It's as though they took the ACLU's logo and wrote the "Free" out of it, depicting America as nothing more than a single-minded, fear-based Security State. That's another way of saying that Dick Cheney's daughter and Irv Kristol's son chose the perfect logo for themselves.
I was previously a constitutional law and civil rights litigator in New York. I am the author of two New York Times Bestselling books: "How Would a Patriot Act?" (May, 2006), a critique of the Bush administration's use of executive power, and "A Tragic Legacy" (June, 2007), which examines the Bush legacy. My most recent book, "Great American Hypocrites", examines the manipulative electoral tactics used by the GOP and propagated by the establishment press, and was released in April, 2008, by Random House/Crown.
