.... to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. ESTABLISHING RELIGION: While campaigning for his first term, George Bush said "I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots." Bush has not retracted, commented on, or clarified this statement, in spite of requests to do so. According to Bush, this is one nation under God. And apparently if you are not within Bush's religious beliefs, you are not a citizen. Federal, state, and local governments also promote a particular religion (or, occasionally, religions) by sp .....

.... creates a “gray area”, and subject to interpretation under different circumstances. The legitimacy of the right to mount a legal defense is further obscured by the Fourteenth Amendment which states, “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges of citizens of the United States.” As a result, many questions begin to arise which seek to determine the true right of the accused to the assistance of counsel.

.... Cold War against communism had quite an opposite effect compared to its original intentions of preserving freedom during the red scare. The early 1950's was a time of emotional stress for much of the United States. With the USSR and the USA emerging from the second World War as major world powers, neither wished to give up their newly acquired land. Both countries following imperialist ideas attempted to spread their government across the world. America, insecure about its power to uphold a democratic government in foreign nations feared a communist invasion from their Cold .....

.... Raspberry talks about incredible array of habits done by different ethnic groups.

.... of prisons in our country, but also to an increase in the number of death sentences handed down by the courts. Despite the fact that the number of inmates on death row is climbing, the number of death sentences actually carried out in any given year lags far behind. People simply aren’t fearful of the death penalty when it isn’t used the way it should be (Stewart 50). If the death penalty has been declared legal, then the federal and state governments must employ it to its fullest as a means of stopping previous murderers from recommitting their crimes.

"I am still drawn, again and again, to the flash of ignition, the moment when fear and loathing became hate, the instant of transformation."(1) He states that there is no way to define hate or how it originated.
