Dissent was good when Bush was president and the evil Dick Cheney was vice-president, but now. . .
Remember back in what was it - 2006
or thereabouts - when left-leaning critics of President Bush
couldn't stop talking about how nothing was more red, white, and
blue than good old-fashioned American dissent? Why, our very
country was founded by an act of dissent, didn't you know! So back
when Vice President Dick Cheney - routinely likened to Darth Vader
and Voldemort - was running things, the very air was filled with
cries of "not in our name" and all that, because it was so damned
important that the United States not contravene its basic
principles even in the name of self defense!
. . .candidate Obama rejected the Bush
adminstration's position that it could detain U.S. citizens as
enemy combatants without pressing charges while President Obama
claims the right to kill U.S. citizens without laying
charges.
