I agree that with the exception of a about a half dozen of the more leftish Democrats like Lee, Waters and Kucinich, the Democrats have been spineless. Today, walking to work I was comparing in my head the response to Iran-Contra by congressional Democrats or the battles over Contra Aid (see the Cynthia Arneson book on this from Pantheon Books) to the PATRIOT Act and other repressive sheeit. Should the below give one any hope? Or, just more pseudo-left rhetoric to keep left-liberals from radicalizing influences and keep them on the DFemocratic Party plantation? Interesting that this was an ADA meeting too. http://www.frontpagemag.com/guestcolumnists2002/anderson02-22-02.htm Michael Pugliese
