That can't be it. Bush is a "Uniter".

If this is his idea of reaching out and unting us again AFTER DIVIDING US ASSHOLE, then color me surprised. Afterall he has so much political capital to spend and a mighty mandate. You know its not like 48% of the people voted against you or anthing. It's not like 50 million Americans cried out and were just suddenly silenced.

You mean as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced? Perhaps God/the Force is on his side after all...

And the next weapon in the war on terrorism will be a moon-sized battle station I call the "Death Star."

Ah yes, a hopeful and decent society is one that discriminates. This isn't really suprising I guess. Though I wonder if the no litmus test on abortion will turn into a litmus test on other issues.

That's probably true. Of course, if Bush did think it could pass, he'd try even harder.
Don't hate; appreciate!

RIP Eddie.

Anyone who doesn't think we're headed for a cultural degeneration and continued corruption is very, very wrong.
