It's only rational if we agree with you, obviously. I thank you for patting yourself on the back over your imagined 'rational discussion,' and in return, issue you an invitation to the statist-in-conservative-clothing forum over at www.securitybeforeliberty.com. Have fun with the soccer moms!

I think we should work on some new mottos for the Federal Department Of Homeland Security:

"Keeping You Safe From The Boogeyman!"

"This Week's Special: EXTRA Super Duper Safeness, in new ORANGE!"

"Those Loopy Militia Types Come Right After Iraq!"

No, it would be more rational if this weren't a simple rewrite of the same overwrought screed that's been posted a thousand times or so over the last year. Why it suddenly becomes thoughtful because it comes from someone touted as one of the shining members of Congress - surely one of the lowest hurdles one can clear in contemporary society - is beyond me.
