Re: Was everyone asleep?

Me too.......if we started following the constitution strictly and actually constrained all the branches the way they are supposed to be constrained, BOTH "sides" of this disgrace would lose power in a big way.
Too bad there is no chance of that happening anytime soon. There is no party of limited government that has the constitutional principles at its core and minds its own business.
as for the war, we are now stuck there, probably for decades, and there is no good way to militarily "win" anymore, short of tripling the troops so that we can kill ALL the iraqis.
"Cornservatives need to understand that Dems and Libs and their pals the MSM always work for the next disaster because most of their modern power came from taking advantage of dim wits demoralized by disasters all the way back to the biggist grab of em all in 1932. Ya need a functional brain cell ta ponder history 'n "cornect the dots" as Boom luvs ta state repeatedly.

Oh I like this one a lot! Speaking of disasters that have been used to dupe the dimwits and grab more power, does anyone remember those buildings falling down back in september of '01? I think conservatives understand the concept pretty well, from what I've seen over the last few years.
They sure did get a lot of mileage out of that!.....
It was all Bill Clinton's fault, dontchaknow?....
And I would think that once we have the smoking remains of a whole american city at hand (well, unless it is New Orleans) then the power play will be complete and the conservatives will have a big old fashioned constitution burning, dissenters will be rounded up for the camps, and everybody else will head off to the coronation for the new emperor who will protect us from the bad guys from now on, once there is no pesky Congress to get in the way.
That was an act of God, so it's OK......
I guess I'm a little pessimistic about the long term, too...
