GOP got us into this mess

Of all the irrational letters that regularly pop up on the Opinion page, the Sept. 4 letter, “Only the GOP can save U.S.,” ranks up there with the most inane. The Republicans running the country got us into this mess and don't have a clue as to how to get out of it. I am certainly in favor of fighting terrorism, but I am not willing to give up my civil liberties to suit the whims of the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld triumvirate. When these people tell us that we are unpatriotic for disagreeing with them, we should be on our toes and watch out for what their next stupid move might be.
