Now there's a self-styled leftist one can engage in a reasonable debate.
Too bad he will soon be suppressed or worse.

Do we like the internal politics of the Bush administration, its projects to spy on citizens, or the rightist rhetoric of the Christian fundamentalists of the Republican Party? No, we do not, though we do believe that the American democracy, the wiser for the lessons of McCarthyism and Watergate, will be capable of protecting itself from the self-poisoning of the "open society."
Same O clap trap... Yawn, Zzzzzzzzzzz

Every war presents an excellent opportunity to stifle criticism and gag the critics. The climate of war promotes the violation of democratic procedures and the militarization of public life. It creates the belief that there is only one patriotic way of thinking while all other views amount to betrayal. Like critical questions by honest conservatives concerned about the lack of any WMD in Iraq and the reliability of our intelligence?

"Brutal power is equally repugnant whether executed under a red banner or a black one."
A lapidary and memorable sentence.
