Alternate Dem stratedgies:

1) – Bush straps on the spurs and kicks some Jihadist butt. No further attacks since 9/11.

- Required Liberal response: Rogue President; cowbow image; overreaching; innocent Americans; domestic; infriging on Privacy; 1st and 4th amendments; Hitler/WWII internment comparisons; ACLU/et al suit; run with impeachment screed; LWMSM propaganda splash….

2) Bush whimps out and plays it politically safe. We get hit again, even if its not particularly effective, and very few get hurt or die.

- Required Liberal response: Inneffective President; failing in his duties under Art. II; failing to uphold his constitutional directives; Nation defenseless under Bush; Wrecklessly out of touch; Traitor to the country; Armageddon screed, followed by impeachment screed; LWMSM propaganda splash….

- I could practically write their talking points for them, which if critical internal party viability has anything to do with partisan predictability at every political bend in the road, this transparency just can’t be good for the Dems.

- What does Rove need brain waves for, when his political foes have more tin-hats than functioning neurons.

Liberal notes: Never let a white cat cross your path, or maybe like greyish or that sort of mottled effect of grey and splashes of black on a smeared white field…. On alternate tuesdays…. with Wasabi and ginger….. (normal Liberal nuanced thinking)

From the Wikipedia article:

“Unlike many political candidates, Paul receives the overwhelming majority of his campaign contributions (92.5% in 2004), from individuals. [2]“

- and btw – before you start in on the old Leftist tangent of “suppression of free speech” whenever they’re called out on this sort of fraudulent activity, I have no problem with NYT publishing all the propaganda they want to, as long as they clearly identify their political affiliations and agenda’s.

- Of course the reason they’ll never admit to it is the vast majority of Americans would immediately take what they have to say with a grain of salt. What say you?

For comparisons you can see how much states spend on each item like education, health, etc and see which state provides more services per dollar. They are most often the Republican controlled states as opposed to the Democrat.

Am I giving the Republicans an “A” for conservativism or efficiency? No.

With the K-street/GOP in power you get what we got with medicare: government that grows, but does not provide.

The first sentence is:
Right-to-privacy groups said on Friday an attempt by the Bush administration to force Google Inc. to turn over a broad range of materials from its databases set a dangerous precedent that should worry all Americans.

Way down in the story are these admissions:
1) The Justice Department said on Friday that America Online, Yahoo and Microsoft had all complied with similar requests.
2) A Google spokesperson said the company objected to the breadth of the government’s request but did not consider it to be a privacy issue since the search terms would not include personally identifiable details.

The LEFT lacks PERSPECTIVE.

Republicans are legislating/governing most of the time to the left of center and yet the LEFT thinks they are extreme right. Extreme right would be libertarians who want an 80% cut in government or anarchists who want no government. For the benefit of any new readers, Government has grown EVERY year for over 6 decades. Accusations about cuts are completely inaccurate and the NYTimes have been part of the set of people making accusations about cuts. They are nothing but completely discredited due to their lack of perspective that has gone on for far too long.

From a separation of powers perspective its worse because the sedition acts were excercised by all the branches of government, and so was the internment.

While the Times is making this patently ridiculous comparison, they fail to point out that these temporary measures were carried out during extraordinary times, and that the Constitution of the United States remains quite intact.
