I'm sure you don't think of yourself as one of "Bush's people" either. But who cares about facts?

Ummm...So? Does that mean that every murder committed while Carter was president (and there were very many) is the Democrat's fault? A crime is a crime and those involved were punished (meaning it's the very opposite of state-sponsored "toture" that you're attempting to paint it as).

Coming from a rabid Bush supporter, I find that entertaining. Republicans are the ones that are throwing the acusation of treason around pretty freely these days. They are the ones who appear to wish for the end of free speach speech. -- modified at 13:15 Tuesday 8th August, 2006

A comment like this clearly shows that you are not part of the middle. Anybody who thinks Falwell has political clout (having lost several Republican primaries and branded as a looney by nearly all conservatives) on the right is clearly under the control of left-wing propaganda.

Exposing secret programs dealing with national security that endanger the lives of Americans is not protected by free speech and never has been. The Supreme Court has ruled on this numerous times. I'm embarassed that appropriate action has not been taken against the guilty parties and consider Bush an absolute failure in that regard.

Are you suggesting we institute loyalty oaths, compel people to inform against their neighbors and the like? That was McCarthyism. If he was such a hero to the people, why did Eisenhower shut him down? Knowing that McCarthyism was a stain on this country DOES NOT in any way mean I want Muslim extremists holding key government positions.

Loyalty oaths? Like the Pledge of Allegiance? Like the oath every federal government official has to take when accepting a job? Ummm..Yes. Now answer my question...Do you believe that Muslim Extremists should be allowed to hold key government positions? You can go either way on this, but I want to know where you stand, because it says a lot.

No, but the country did used to feel threatened by them in the same way that we now feel threatened by Muslim Extremists. Both were reasonable fears, too. However, the left does NOT paticipate in legitimate elections. They have a long and rich history of undermining fair and democratic elections. Just look at Mexico right now. I am first and foremost opposed to anybody who intends to strip the will of the people (and secondarily to people who want to impose leftist ideals). The first is a greater threat and is something often attempted by the left (it's hard to go an election even here in the US in which the left commits fraud then accuses the right of doing it). It's even a leftist ideal to strip Americans of democratic rights (just ask Vincent Reynolds).

Oh come on. McCarthyism was nothing more than fear mongering. For God sakes, they brought Oppenheimer before the committee and he spearheaded the Manhattan project.

So then why do you refuse to answer my question? Do you then support Nazis and Muslim Extremists in key positions of our government in the same what that you support Communists in those positions? And Eisenhower (A Republican) was constitutionally not capable of shutting down McCarthy's hearings. McCarthy withered away because he was a jerk and lost political power after a while. Nobody likes jerks. Republicans didn't even care for him all that much either. However, McCarthyism was not a big deal or very influential. Today liberals make a big deal about it for one reason...They sympathize with the victims...Communists. You continue to refuse to state that you believe Nazis and Communists should hold key government positions.

It was fear-mongering designed to boost McCarthy's career. However, that does not mean that the fear of Communism was unfounded. The USSR was attempting to spread Communism all over the world (many times it was successful) via quiet and covert means. But again, McCarthyism was insignificant grandstanding to help some Senator and pales in comparison to modern left-wing accusations. The only reason the left focuses on McCarthyism is because they are sympathetic to the accused...Communists. If McCarty was hunting Nazis, I'd still call it political grandstanding and you'd call it a triumph in American history.
