Irregular Times Diaries: Unfit Discussion

We at Irregular Times used to have a nice campaign bumper sticker for Maine Democratic Congressman Mike Michaud. It was there for Michaud’s supporters to find online, and put on their cars to help spread the word that the people in Michael Michaud’s district supported him.

No more.

Mike Michaud betrayed Maine today. Mike Michaud betrayed Democrats today. Mike Michaud betrayed all America today when he voted for H.R. 6166, a bill that revokes the right of habeas corpus, legalizes torture, gives George W. Bush retroactive immunity from prosecution for war crimes and provides blanked immunity to other war criminals, allows secret evidence to be used against suspects, removes the right to a speedy trial, and even gave police the right to enter your home and search through your things without getting a search warrant.

Shame on you, Michael Michaud, for voting for this piece of totalitarian, anti-freedom legislation. You no longer have the support of Irregular Times.

That means that now, whenever voters in Maine search for the name Michael Michaud on Google or in the CafePress search engine, they will find the following new bumper sticker design where the old pro-Michaud bumper sticker used to be.

We’ll be taking this action for all the Democrats in the House of Representatives who voted for HR 6166 today. This issue is bigger than partisanship. It’s about the values of the Revolution of 1776. It’s about defending American freedom from tyranny.
