Careful posting that here, the ACLU apparently has arrest warrants out for a good number of our members. :quirky
Tell us you're joking. You are... right?
Joking- if he'd been serious, he would have used the letters DHS.
While I was joking, the sad part is that DEROS, of whom I was making fun, was probably himself almost entirely serious.

The dirty little secret. The Obamination is evidence.
Um... yea... because it wasn't Bush that created Homeland Security... :quirky
You know, if you stop and think for a second, Doug has a point (although I'm not positive it's the point he was trying to make).

He cites "The Obamanation" as evidence, but not a causal factor. And I think he may be right: only in post-Bush America could such a statist, elitist, interventionist, militaristic, anti-individualist, Nationalistic-yet-not-Patriotic (he loves his government but not his country), and generally heinous character become so resounding popular among the Democratic left, who otherwise blindly pride themselves on their self-professed opposition to all the "isms" I mentioned above.

I think Obama makes good evidence for a certain unfortunate trend in American mainstream politics. A trend towards tyranny.
I'll take this as a compliment but "Even a blind pig can find a truffle."

Bush and the GOP were/are too weak to withstand the assault. "[O]nly in [post 911] America could such a statist, elitist, interventionist, militaristic, anti-individualist, Nationalistic-yet-not-Patriotic (he loves his government but not his country), and generally heinous character become so resounding popular among the Democratic left, who otherwise blindly pride themselves on their self-professed opposition to all the "isms" ..."

Democracy is not the fortress that the principle of conservatism has proven to be.
