Nancy Pelosi seems to be contemplating charges against members of the Bush administration, in what has become a long-running Democrat tendency to criminalize political differences. This effort, in conjunction with the attempt to co-opt the middle class by getting virtually everyone hooked on government entitlements through a huge expansion of government spending, is part of an overall strategy to undermine the two-party system and entrench the Democrats in power for years to come - maybe permanently. Unfortunately, the Democrats have benefited from both the unscrupulousness of Republican "me-too" spenders, and the pusillanimity of the Republican Party in taking the fight on a number of important fronts to the Democrats (anybody remember John McCain?)
It would be a shame if the most truly Lincolnesque outcome of the Lincoln-obsessed new administration is another civil war (or an acceleration of what Ed Driscoll and others refer to as "the cold civil war.")

Maybe Nancy Pelosi really IS as dumb as she sounds.
ReplyDeleteHard to say, Paco. Maybe she's just stringing the nutroots along, like she's been doing for the past couple of years. Unless the Dhimmicrats do a legislative tap dance, there were no laws broken in the run up to the Iraq war. "Lying" is so vague a charge that she find herself up on charges, given that Congress voted for the war, a little fact that keeps on getting glossed over.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, this could be a warning shot across the bow of the opposition, not to mess with this session of Congress. Or possibly the opening move of the Dhimmicrats bid for permanent power, as you describe. An act of intimidation at the national level.
A "cold civil war"? Sounds about right.
Just heard (ok, it's been an hour or so - hey, I got a toddler here!) that President Bush commuted the sentence of the Border Patrol agents Ramos & Campean.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mr. President.
