About the "Law and Order" Conservatives:

[R_M]

Why is it that the Conservatives were screaming about "law and order" and the "rule of law" when it comes to Bill Clinton, Democrats, immigrants, and the kid from UCLA who was tasered (it's hurts alot more than you think and was excessive in that case), but when it comes to Mr. Bush, he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants???

Just think about the blatent hypocracy....

1. Actually, I used to be a law and order conservative.

I'm still law and order.

I'm not still a conservative.

That should tell you something.

2. What about justice? There are laws that are unjust.

3. Justice is the purpose of law and order, not a fringe benefit, IMHO

Making a mockery of it for political purposes doesn't fly with me. I didn't agree with everything done under Clinton - esp. the stuff that looks like stuff done under Bush subsequently - but Republicans made all sorts of high-minded princpled talk while Bill Clinton detailed just how bad it was going to get once the Republicans got in. He was right. My principles didn't change; my view of who best represented those principles, did, because suffice to say people like Tom DeLay don't stand up for law, order, or justice, in my book. 0 for 3 won't cut it.

4. Most of what goes by the name "conservative" these days isn't conservative, but FASCIST.............

People who believe in the principles of historic conservatism (such quaint ideas as the rule of law, checks & balances, constitutional restraints on power, civil liberties, habeas corpus, posse comitatus, independent thought, truth, sane foreign policy, the honoring of treaties, the Geneva Conventions, and civil discourse) are now generally called "RINO's", "lib-ruls", or "lefties" by the neo-monarcist fascist wannabes who now claim to be "conservative".

(At the same time, increasing numbers of those "quaint" historic conservatives are beginning to call themselves "Democrats.")

5. An interesting way of looking at it.

I agree that this new breed are fascists.
