indeed, it's not the political party that corrupts... it is the power.

The corruption of the democrat party is the RESULT of the power they have weilded for seventy years. To the degree that pubbies have had power, they have been corrupted as well.

ANY ideology can corrupt if it gains enough power and holds it long enough... look at the "christian" spanish inquisitions and the burning of the anabapatists... POWER corrrupts and distorts all it enables, we must strove to see that it is held by the individual, instead of central governmental bodies in order to be held in check.

The more decentralized power is in its concentration, the more difficult it is to corrupt.

This stuff by bush won't stop or hinder terror... and is getting at something else. One world? Alien Invasion? I dunno, but the drive for a large one world control of every aspect of our lives, is on full throttle.

BUSH is wrong to seek power at this level.

Surely as at 1945 September every damn piece of legislation and executive order necessary exists.They even had beach patrols which caught the bad guys.
