..."why don't you protest against Bin Laden?" -- well, because Bush is supposedly my president, and he supposedly has to listen to me, and I can supposedly influence him, and he does things supposedly in my name with my tax dollars. I have no influence whatsoever over Bin Laden, and I take it for granted that he's my enemy. No use in protesting against him.

Same here. These people supposedly represent my half of the country, they represent my interests and they got there with my votes. The Right is my enemy. No use in complaining about them. The only question is how we best beat them, not waxing about how bad they exactly are.
