    PRAISE BE
    By Peter Fredson
    February 7, 2006
    We are at War. Terror is lurking in every corner to destroy American cities, factories, and people. It is those crazy fanatical Muslims that are to blame. They hate democracy, liberty and Americans.
    We don’t know why they hate us so much. Our President is doing his courageous best to cope with this terrible danger for everybody.
    Yet he has critics with niggling objections to his determined strategy of fighting Muslims where they live (…)

    We who are on the left in America are dumbfounded (as, I suppose, are many citizens in other countries), by the indifference and apathy by a healthy percentage of our fellow countrymen when it comes to challenging the destructive politics of the Bush Administration.
    I suppose it is just human nature not to focus on government actions which we feel...often correctly..we cannot change. But there is a tipping point, and I believe we’ve reached it.
    On the one hand we have the zombie hoards, (…)

    Q Does the President think he should obey the law? He put his hand on the Bible twice to uphold the Constitution. Wiretapping is not legal under the circumstances without a warrant.
    MR. McCLELLAN: Well, I guess you didn’t pay attention to the Attorney General’s hearing earlier today, because he walked through very clearly the rationale behind this program. And, Helen, I think you have to ask are we a nation at war —

    Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ defense Monday of President Bush’s order to authorize warrantless spying on Americans failed to shed much light on the deeply disturbing program.
    Gonzales sparred with skeptical senators over the significant question of the program’s legality. On that point, he repeated the dubious arguments made by Bush and his defenders in recent weeks that the program was authorized by law and by the Constitution. He gave only vague explanations for why the president (…)
