Dr. Green: How is it that Educated people are the least bit surprised by 'Bama? When he was a Senator, he voted *for* the Patriot Act. So what that he's closing Gitmo, there's plenty of ex-soviet-satelight countries to increase the number and intensity of Torture. He's out W'ing W. You do realize, don't you, that he works for Laurence Summers, and he has a cushy job awaiting him at Goldman Sachs, just as Tony Blair immediately went to work for Morgan Stanley, or was it J.P. Morgan?. When Summers yells "JUMP!!!", 'Bama Jumps!

Im a younger, older type small-gov't conservative (meaning I'm not in favor of fascism, or imperialism), I guess these days since Newt and W have stolen our moniker I'm now a Libertarian. In other words, I've actually READ the constitution and have seen the things it actually allows the fed gov't to do. And it ain't much, besides a navy, and a post office. If we had a truly CONSTITUTIONAL GOV'T, most people would forget what city Washington, D.C. was or where it was located.
