The most vociferous responses you have received so far have not addressed the point of the article. One called the article "garbage" without further explanation. One went into a passionate defense of the current administration and policy based on the fact that Al Gore would have been a disaster. True enough, but it doesn't address the article.
Hang in there, and don't let the bastards get you down.
What I don't understand is the reaction from many in here. They are the very same people who are bitching up a storm about the fact that our government has not militarized (or mined) the borders (forget about the 1 billion Muslims ready to destroy us, get that mexican mom and her kids!!!), instituted racial profiling of anyone who doesn't look like Dolph Lundgren, or enacted a constitutional amendment outlawing Islam (proposed by a self-proclaimed constitutionalist no less).
My question is real simple. Why did Al and Bill want to do this nine years ago?
