A lesson in Democracy from the Right
One Bush follower writes this to Digby:
So, I guess we all had better keep our mouths shut for fifty years or so.
Great Democracy this is.
We are at war. When President Bush concedes that there exist "responsible ways" to debate our progress in the War on Terror, he is being overly generous (to his credit). But there is simply no "responsible way" to undermine through criticism of any stripe our leadership's actions to protect us, no matter how plainly mistaken, inadequate or served by ulterior motives those actions may be. There may be time for future historians to do so, though the nature of this particular war means that the proper time for such revisionism will be at least decades from now.
So, I guess we all had better keep our mouths shut for fifty years or so.
Great Democracy this is.
