I'm not sure why you say this article is "vomitous" or that Pinkerton is defending criminal acts based on environmental or social conditions. Pinkerton is a conservative writer who served under the Reagan and Bush I adminstrations and contributes to Fox News. I'm also baffled as to why the quote you posted is "crap". It simply says that the media have focused mostly on the military aspect of the first strike policy and that the people support it. How is this "crap"? Pinkerton's main argument is that the war on terrorism will eventually be used to justify government growth because of the inherent bureaucratic nature of government. Every bureaucracy will want to expand their programs under the banner of the War, even though it may not have anything to do with terrorism. What do you disagree with about this point?

I don't get these people.

They're the ones supporting big government and Globalist measures, whether they deny it or not. They're doing it via Bush.

Jim Pinkerton is a pseudo conservative who picks and chooses the midrange.

If he ever retained the mental or physical gonads to speak with the real residents of the country and maybe a few hundred of those who have chosen to put their asses on the line for life and death in the military, then maybe little Jimmy would change his tune, and it would be obvious on the only outlet he sits on, thanks to Fox News.

Pinkerton's fear of the exponential growth of the worthless bureaucracy is about 9 years late.

On a problem with bastards attempting to kill you and me, whether in bunches or individually, GW Bush is attempting to put together a sourced and reliable group that is competent from the core and can be trusted.

The bullshit leaker(s) from those outside of his core planners have already showed their hands.

That should be plenty of concern for you and Jim Pinkerton.

Lunatics, hiding behind an old and sometimes ambiguous religion are trying to kill you, your family and anyone in your vicinity, where ever you may live, from Florida to Oregon, from El Paso to all points Maine.

Get it through your head that after over 30 years...

They are here to kill you, and if you have to ask who "they "are, then you are either illiterate, naive, ignorant or "one of 'em".

If Jim Pinkerton was ever introduced to the "Mare of Steel", he would have to be thrown onto it, since he shows he has "nothing to lose", much like Trent Lott, and the other cheerleaders of nothingness.
