I agree that the whole country has moved to the left, but I don't just agree b/c it's Bush. We are fighting a war for our survival, and I have no problem with using tools being used on drug dealers being used for terrorists for now.
The tools "being used on drug dealers" have long since been turned on the American people. The same will happen to the tool being used on "terrorists."
Hitler and Stalin also used "terrorists" as an excuse to expand their state powers. Remember the Reichstag fire? For that matter, remember Animal Farm? Every time Napoleon wanted to expand his power, it was because of terrorism from Snowball or Farmer Jones.
The state is not your friend, even when it's draped with pretty "stars and stripes" flags, and even when the president wears a spiffy military uniform. Unfortunately, many "conservatives" see pretty patriotic images, and they go all weak at the knees. Just like "liberals", most conservatives seem to be ruled by their emotions rather than their minds.
