Joe Lieberman and the future of the Democratic Party

[mburbank]

Kev, you post a pic like that and what am I supposed to think but that your brain is watery? A hippie donkey with a flower and a peace t-shirt? You seriously think that sums up, even jokingly, what anybody except a handful of very fringy idiots think? That would be like me saying I think the Republicans are thinking of what's going on right now as the lead in to the rapture. Sure, a few do, but enough that it's worth thinking in terms of?

"But the message must be sent that if you act out on those impulses violently, or if another state supports those actions, then you will be stopped"

Fair enough. Not a bad message at all. But do you think that can ever actually be accomplished? I think that we should absolutely work dilligently toward that, but if that's your goal, then we are at war from now on, I think. I guess that's a legitimate way of looking at it. However, I think that if we are now in a permanent state of war, the President expecting expanded 'war powers' is very dangerous to our constitutional democracy.
