all that narcissistic talk about myself at Dkos was erased?

I think the admission of the abuse of the PATRIOT Act necessitates the need to review the program including how it is used, what benefits have come from it, and if it is still needed.

This should also raise alarms regarding the NSA spying program. Why are we supposed to expect this program is not being abuse (illegal as it is) also?

All those beautiful retorts I showered on the liberals yesterday where I completely decimated their pitiful attempts at logic and persuasion are gone?!?!?

Well I'm not typing them in again. Just consider yourselves decimated. You know who you are!

:-)

I hate anti-war activists (and leftwing pacifists in general) with a passion, though not to be confused with regular anti-war liberals, which is why I will never ever be on their side.

I will oppose stupid wars though.

it's really annoying how bad the response time is. Sorry everyone.

Especially after this BS:

WASHINGTON - Presidential advisor Karl Rove and at least one other member of the White House political team were urged by the New Mexico Republican party chairman to fire the state's U.S. attorney because of dissatisfaction in part with his failure to indict Democrats in a voter fraud investigation in the battleground election state.

In an interview Saturday with McClatchy Newspapers, Allen Weh, the party chairman, said he complained in 2005 about then-U.S. Attorney David Iglesias to a White House liaison who worked for Rove and asked that he be removed. Weh said he followed up with Rove personally in late 2006 during a visit to the White House.

"Is anything ever going to happen to that guy?" Weh said he asked Rove at a White House holiday event that month.

"He's gone," Rove said, according to Weh.

"I probably said something close to 'Hallelujah,'" said Weh.

Weh's account calls into question the Justice Department's stance that the recent decision to fire Iglesias and seven U.S. attorneys in other states was a personnel matter - made without White House intervention. Justice Department officials have said the White House's involvement was limited to approving a list of the U.S. attorneys after the Justice Department made the decision to fire them.

Hindraker's Wisdoom on why South American's think BushisHitler.

South America is trending strongly left, or socialist.

Hitler was a left leaning liberal socialist.

Therefore socialism is fascism.

Wow! Go figure!

I guess Hinderacker has all the answers. The world is trending socialist fascist communist. Is there any place left to hide.....?

Is he saying that neoconservatism is the only place where true freedom and purity of ideology dwells.

Is Bush a dangerous liberal (as was Hitler) as South Americans are suggesting with their protests?

Isn't this Exactly what Dinesh D'Souza was saying in his book. . ."Enemy of the State, and how the liberals caused 9/11. I didn't realize that D'Souza hated liberal Bush so much, did you.

The Greatest Brit wrote in the 1937 paper on

How the Jews Can Combat Persecution

Wow! This will stir up a few malcontents.

The Second World War prime minister Winston Churchill argued that Jews were "partly responsible for the antagonism from which they suffer" in an article publicised for the first time Sunday.

"For it may be that, unwittingly, they are inviting persecution -- that they have been partly responsible for the antagonism from which they suffer."

The article adds: "The central fact which dominates the relations of Jew and non-Jew is that the Jew is 'different'.

"He looks different. He thinks differently. He has a different tradition and background. He refuses to be absorbed."

Finally

The Failed Attorney General

The Events of Last Week have underscored a widespread abuse of power, from Libby, to firing Attorney Generals, to sweeping use of the FBI.

I am going to paste most of the article here, since I know some won't be able to access it.
__________________________________________________________
"During the hearing on his nomination as attorney general, Alberto Gonzales said he understood the difference between the job he held — President Bush’s in-house lawyer — and the job he wanted, which was to represent all Americans as their chief law enforcement officer and a key defender of the Constitution. Two years later, it is obvious Mr. Gonzales does not have a clue about the difference."

"He has never stopped being consigliere to Mr. Bush’s imperial presidency. If anyone, outside Mr. Bush’s rapidly shrinking circle of enablers, still had doubts about that, the events of last week should have erased them."

"First, there was Mr. Gonzales’s lame op-ed article in USA Today trying to defend the obviously politically motivated firing of eight United States attorneys, which he dismissed as an “overblown personnel matter.” Then his inspector general exposed the way the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been abusing yet another unnecessary new power that Mr. Gonzales helped wring out of the Republican-dominated Congress in the name of fighting terrorism."

"The Justice Department has been shamefully indifferent to complaints of voter suppression aimed at minority voters. But it has managed to find the time to sue a group of black political leaders in Mississippi for discriminating against white voters."

"We opposed Mr. Gonzales’s nomination as attorney general. His résumé was weak, centered around producing legal briefs for Mr. Bush that assured him that the law said what he wanted it to say. More than anyone in the administration, except perhaps Vice President Dick Cheney, Mr. Gonzales symbolizes Mr. Bush’s disdain for the separation of powers, civil liberties and the rule of law.

On Thursday, Senator Arlen Specter, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, hinted very obliquely that perhaps Mr. Gonzales’s time was up. We’re not going to be oblique. Mr. Bush should dismiss Mr. Gonzales and finally appoint an attorney general who will use the job to enforce the law and defend the Constitution."
