The terrorists don't care if they kill liberals or conservatives. They want to and did kill Americans.... oh and Japanese, and Germans, and from 50 or so other countries doing business in America. There will be huge dissent; that doesn't mean it is unpatriotic. There was huge dissent in WWII, even right after Pearl Harbor. There was huge dissent in Korea, and Vietnam and the Gulf War, and Panama. A lack of the ability to dissent brings you Stalin. A lack of voiced dissent brings you Joseph McCarthy. There will always be dissent and that is what makes this country. I think it was Lincoln who was distrustful of unanimous votes in his cabinet and said something to the effect that a even a lone voice speaking dissent is vital to this republic.

Agree, Dissent. Whatever. But keep up the dialogue. That's the AMERICAN way.

Just for the heck of it. Look up how many pieces of civil rights legislation Nixon signed. Then compare that with How many Clinton signed into law.

I'm assuming that Clinton signed more... Although I voted for Clinton (twice), I think it would be hilarious if tricky-Dick signed more.

I am near positive that Nixon signed more, but then he was President at a time when there was more to be signed. That kind of invalidates the logic.

Folks:
I'm pretty durn left politically. I don't like Mayor Giuliani's policies; in fact I find him a bit of a fascist. But frankly, the guy's such a good general that in this emergency, Pataki and the senators have proven superfluous. Giuliani's kick bellybutton and earned the respect not only of Americans, but of citizens the world round. New York State's political representatives really don't have much to add.
I wish I could say the same thing about our CIC.

I am quoting from memory so feel free to correct me.

Nixon. 74 pieces of legislation

Clinton. 2 pieces.

"I am near positive that Nixon signed more, but then he was President at a time when there was more to be signed. That kind of invalidates the logic."

If you think civil rights groups did not ask for more legislation (a lot more) during the Clinton years. You did not read a news paper.

Clinton meant to get around to signing more civil rights legislation, but he ran out of pens signing pardons.

Bad joke.. I know

Well... here's another, DJV...

Maybe he wanted to sign them but he couldn't get Monica's bellybutton off the desk?

Yeah... it's bad... I know.
