Today, Sunday July 16, 2006 The New York Times has published an editorial that deserves to be preserved in a time-capsule so that future generations can understand how a formerly great newspaper reduced itself to to the moonbat level in a slashing partisan attack on a wartime president.

The theme is familiar--President Bush has used the attack on the WTC of 9-11-2001 to arrogate to himself dictatorial powers.  The distortions, half-truths and outright lies in today's screed surpass in viciousness anything that we have witnessed in recent months.  It is sure to attract widespread comment.  Every aware citizen in the country should make an effort to analyze and comprehend this vile, unforgiveable outburst.

That op/ed should serve as a clarion warning to all of us who support President Bush. It tells you quite clearly what the Moonbats' primary agenda will be for a Democrat-controlled Congress. They'd rather prosecute their own president than hunt down Osama bin Laden.

And they wonder why we call them Moonbats?

President Bush has used the attack on the WTC of 9-11-2001 to arrogate to himself dictatorial powers.

He has used it to expand the power of the presidency. He has argued that he can detain U.S. citizens indefinitely w/o their Constitutional rights, and he has declared that statutes that purport to reign his powers are null and void.

That's simple fact. You may think it's a good thing, but there's no denying that he has done what the NYTimes has said.

Congratualtions JPE. And welcome as our site's first troll.
But you really need a bit more practice. Asserting a few slanders as you and the Times have done does not make them true. Ec cathedra proclamations do not impress.
