See, dude, that's where we diverge in our viewpoints. Perhaps you are right and Dubyuh is the second coming of Ghengis Khan, but his actions to date have not been those of a Power-Hungry would-be Tyrant, IMHO. So you seem to be going out of yer way to make the case that Bush is secretly expanding his Powers so as to...to what?! Is he gonna use the IRS to punish his political enemies...a la Osama bil Clinton?! Is Dubyuh gonna send the Secret Service over to the MudCave to try to intimidate a lowly FReeper who may disagree with his policies?! I don't think so...you apparently do.
So let's talk about something else and we'll look back at this conversation in a few months or a few years and see whose prognostication is closer to the mark. Fair 'nuff?!
