So many cowards, so little guts

A friend sent me a news clip from the New York Post the other day. Ordinarily, I dismiss anything from Rupert Murdoch’s tabloid trash, just like I ignore his faux news network, but this clip was an op-ed piece by Peter King and Ed Koch claiming the USA Patriot Act is not all that bad.

My friend, you see, is a proud Republican -- a converted McGovern Democrat -- who thinks a police state is not all that bad as long as the top cop if a member of the Grand Old Party.
To underscore his point, he noted a paragraph quoting two Democrats – Senators Joe Biden and Diane Feinstein – who claimed abuses of individual rights under the act were blown out of proportion.

His point, of course, is that if even radical Dems like Biden and Feinstein can find good in the Patriot act then those who dare question the act -- namely me -- should back off.

Nice try, but all the article proves is that at least two Democrats can be just as moronic as too many Republicans when it comes to defending attorney general John Ashcroft’s storm trooper trampling of the Constitution.

1. Yup, Biden and Di-Fi are morons alright

At least the other Dems have the decency to say "let's take a look and perhaps and try to make it better." Those other two get hard-ons just thinking about the Act--and yes, I know Di-Fi is allegedly a woman--don't screw up my analogy.
