The Rule Of Law And Other Fantasies

Marc Thiessen, King of the Morons : NO QUARTER: "...Thiessen, you retard, the reason that your list of so-called fine lawyers were attacked is because they violated the very tenets of law that the Constitution enshrines. What the hell has happened to genuine conservatives? There was a time that conservatives believed first and foremost in the rule of law, limited power of the Federal Government and fiscal responsibility. You and your former boss, W, blew those concepts all to hell. Me? I continue to believe firmly and passionately that the power of the Federal Government should and must be limited. I do not believe in a theocratic form of government. The President is not a divine being nor is he (or she) infallible. Yet you persist with this fascistic nonsense to assert that our Government, using fear, can usurp the rights of any individual that it decides on its own is a terrorist or an enemy.

Unlike you I have learned the lessons of Nuremberg. Unlike you I remember and understand the historical precedent of governments run by dictators and thugs–Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot. While George Bush is not a criminal on par with those scum, he still engaged in practices that, no matter how noble his intention, presented a direct threat to our system of government and the principle that the government is limited in what it can do to individuals..."
