When being a "good Democrat" makes one a stooge for conservatives [View all]

The funniest aspect of the Miranda detention arguments is watching people cheer the actions of a proudly Right Wing government, cluelessly thinking that they are cheering some unanimous British expression of solidarity with their own atavistic notions.

The detention, a stark abuse of British law by the current RIGHT WING government of the UK, is controversial in the UK.

The liberals there are not cheering it.

Blair being Bush's poodle was tragic.

Certain American liberals (sic) being Cameron's poodles is farce.
