but it seems that the Republicans have been dancing in the blood of 9/11 for a police stateEither you are a Green party member at heart, or you were brought up by enough of those types that you speak the language even if you don't buy their shit wholeheartedly.

Nope...
Wrong on both counts...
My GOP and conservative credentials are as long as you can get for someone 34 years old. It does not take a genius to see that the GOP is signing on to making the country more "secure" at the expense of personal liberty. John Ashcroft may be a fine Christian conservative, but how do you square the whole Patriot Act? GWB is touted as a "conservative" by most FReepers, but how do you discount all the "bi-partisanship" he displays. I hope you like having your party and your president repeal your First Amendment. The GOP runs the House, the GOP has more than enough votes to block cloture in the Senate, and the GOP president is going to sign a repeal of the First Amendment. The GOP sponsored the bill.
How are school vouchers coming along? What do you think of the GOP running the government that wants to tap your e-mail and monitor any phone you pick up. Islamic terrorists killed a few thousand of our citizens, and we can't profile them, because we want the NYT to like us. No, we shake down everyone in the name of fairness. Guns in the cockpit to prevent future attacks? Hell, no!!! Your GOP president put a liberal in charge of the DOT, and gun searches happen to every car that enters many airport garages (not the secure areas of the airport). How is that for the 4th and 2nd Amendment protections?
The Great Gringo was going to allow a few million more Mexican peasants into our social welfare system, but then 9/11 slowed him down. Now, we hear that it is still under consideration. Too bad he doesn't speak broken Norweigan.
How many times does the GOP have to stab conservatives in the back before we throw the RINOs out of power? Judging by all the FReepers watching GWB like crazed spider monkeys watching the banana channel, it seems like we have a ways to go.
A GOP police state is no better than a liberal police state. At least with the liberal police state, it will be staffed with morons.
Pass the jingoistic kool-aid...
