When Conservatives Sue Conservatives I DON’T GIVE GEORGE W. BUSH enough credit. The man’s a genius. How else can you explain his clever plan for saving America from terrorists?

Bush defined our problem when, following the Sept. 11 attacks, he said the terrorists attacked us “because we are freedom’s home and defender.”

So Bush (with ample help from pliant, poll-reading congressional Democrats and an amenable public) set about removing America’s freedoms.

How clever. When the the job is finished, when all our freedoms are gone, we’ll finally be safe. The bad guys will no longer have reason to hate us.

What a brilliant scheme!
