8. The arguments are the same as they were when we didn't believe them under Bush.

It's as if the Right just handed over their playbook to the Left, and said ', here, your turn'!

What were they? Mostly they claim 'We are at war'.

Whom? Al Queda.

Where? Everywhere, we are at war with the whole world'.

They believe the US has the right to go into any country and kill people they claim are 'terrorists' and they do not need any proof. If you ask for proof, you get snide answers like 'too bad you are not with Intelligence' meaning 'you have no right to ask, let alone know what the evidence is'.

It all boils down to us adapting to a new way of looking at the world, one without Constitutional protections, which we are supposed to think is okay because it's for our 'national security. Or some will tie themselves in knots trying to make the government killing US citizens without even charging them, Constitutional. It's amazing to watch the contortions.

If you don't adapt and nod in agreement, well, some will lose it altogether and call you things like 'despicable'.

But nothing has changed regarding the excuses made for the continuation of Bush policies and the shredding of the Constitution. Just one letter.
