Mul, agree with him on this one as well. In my short time on this board, you have gone from denouncing every totalitarian regime on the face of the earth to promoting a totalitarian regime in America. All because you like Bush. Or hate Democrats. Of both.

If that were true, we should be much further along in our socialistically totalitarian (as they are more frequently than not one in the same) slide. We went from putting women, children and men in concentration camps, during the FDR presidency, to focusing our civil rights abuses to wire-tapping rag-headed terrorists and those who support them. To compare the current wartime exercise of extraordinary powers to a "totalitarian regime" is missing reality and establishing a false premise to do so.

Wake up. Granting more power to this president, and necessarily the next president and the one after and the one after, etc. etc. is a tragically bad idea.

From a neo-socialist (Democrat), I find this demonstration of shock about expanding government powers hollow...Expanding government power is what the Democrat party is ALL about. More confiscatory taxation, more government bureaucracy, more regulations, more funding for failing government schools, control of the media, financially advocating one race over another, race-baiting, class-warfare and union strangulation of business.
