I'm posting this because I just had to write something -- but I couldn't post it on Backwash. A certain columnist there can be trusted to always take what I say badly -- and I wasn't really intending to phrase this nicely

I certainly dread republicans being in power, and I think I can think of several reasons why my feelings were justified over the past 12 years.

whoops, wasn't logged in for that comment.

Keep in mind that I am talking about Congress specifically -- and therefore legislation and government spending specifically.
(So no going off about "the war in Iraq" -- which is really nationbuilding, anyway.)

But within that specific context, and throwing in The Patriot Act as my big Horrible Example -- what other nastiness would you add?

the war in iraq is nation building? that's a new one.

give me some time to get my facts straight before I respond. I don't have internet access at home and don't have much free time at work, but I'll try to respond next week.
