Neocons crack me up. Seeing you boys try to articulate conservative positions is like listening to a Frenchman trying to pronounce 'ciciri".

No disagreement with that statement. However some of the folly coming from the libertarian party, of which I used to be a member is just plain old tin foil fodder. The paranoia is unbelieveable. Next thing you know Agent Mulder will be sleeping under their beds.

There are only a few LP members who write for LRC. Elkins isn't one of them, according to some of his earlier columns. Constitutionalists are getting as much bashing these days as liberals are. I don't understand why.

There's a big difference between loyalty to country and letting politicians get by with wiping their backsides on the Constitution to cover their own treason.

Wait until the demand for a declaration of war is really pressed in Congress. Part of the deal from the left side of the aisle will be a demand for another Sedition Act as a price for agreement to declaring war. You can bet on that. The traitors will want cover in time of war, when the price of treason is to be paid at the end of a rope. They'll want any criticism of government suppressed so that evidence of what they've done can't be used to get them out of office.

Paranoia? If you want to hear paranoia listen to some of the conservatives on FR. I've read calls (on other threads)for rationing (even though there is no shortage of any important goods), blackouts (whatever for? Didn't you notice that the attacks took place in broad daylight?), checkpoints, and on and on. They cry that this will make us "safe". The government that can't teach children to read, make us safe? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I think it's time to calm down. We shouldn't have a "Department of Homeland Security" for the simple reason that we don't need one. We don't need to censor the Internet or give the FBI carte blanche. We can fight, and fight hard and well, without going nuts.
