Return of the blinding rage
From a CNN story:
“U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the plans were ‘suggestive of an al Qaeda plot,’ and President Bush said the arrests are a ‘stark reminder’ that the U.S. is ‘at war with Islamic fascists.’”
What’s up with the adjective, Mr. President? Why does it matter which religion your alleged fascists ascribe to? And what, exactly, makes them fascists? And are you really going to pretend you’re not secretly grateful this latest incident allows you to trot out your tired old speeches about “evil” and “terror” and why it’s okay to slowly strip the American public of its civil liberties?
Terrorists are terrorists are terrorists are terrorists. Who they pray to at night shouldn’t really factor into the equation.
