OG:

You posted about Kennedy,m whose peccadilloes were buried forty years ago.

Then you posted about Jefferson, who peccadillos took place two hundred years ago and more.

Then you accused "cry-baby" liberals of bringing up ancient history.

Doesn't this strike you as a bit desperate, or perhaps hypocritical, or inconsistent?

Nor did Lincoln act under the amorphous cover of a "war on terror" - a war against a tactic, not a specific nation or political entity, which could last as long as any president deems the tactic a threat to national security. Lincoln's exceptional measures were intended to survive only as long as the Confederacy was in rebellion. Bush's could be extended indefinitely, as the president sees fit, permanently endangering rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution to the citizenry.

The issue, Old Guy, is not history but what is happening now to our nation, who has been making it happen, and whether or not they should be trusted with the job, here and now.
