| 73. Congress' failure to defend the Constitution will be its ultimate destruction. |

Edited on Wed Mar-21-07 12:59 AM by TahitiNut
There's really no way around this, imho. We sit back and hope for some hero in a white hat riding into town and saving us cowardly town folk. Anything to preserve our diminishing comforts and shrinking liberties.
Maybe it's that kind of "magical thinking" that seduces people into believing the bullshit about Iraq. It's funny ... it seems there're two kinds of people in this nation: those who believe we wear the white hats in Iraq and those who're looking for the white hats in the US.
We'll be sorry. We'll be very, very sorry. The price just keeps going up.
