I guess I don't get it

A conversation with an imaginary (to protect the guilty) Republican friend:

Friend: I just don't see why you libruls don't get it. It's really simple. If you agree with the President, then you will have nothing to worry about. If you disagree with the President in war time, then you're a traitor, and not only should they be spying on you, they should throw you in jail and execute you.

Me: It seems to me that you were pretty vocal in your disagreement with Clinton when he was President.

Friend: That wasn't war time.

Me: What about Bosnia, Kosovo, the Balkans?

Friend: Well, that was as excursion of his choice. We didn't agree with that to begin with.

Me: Well, this is an excursion of Bush's choice. We didn't agree with this to begin with.

Friend: You just don't get it do you?
