    Thomas Paine?

    Glenn:

    Quoting Thomas Paine is so 1776 of you.

    That just shows the shallowness of your argument.

    Everything changed on 9/11 or hadn't you heard?

    I mean, there was no Al Qaeda in 1776. No WMDs, Yellowcake, Guatanamo, evil doers, global warming fascists, islamadamafascistic fascism, liberal fascists, Axis of Evil, DFHs, Al Gore, Freedom Fries, Left Wing Loonies, Qwest, Hollywood elites, etc., etc., etc.

    Thomas Paine had it easy.

    Nancy Whatshername obviously realizes this. And you don't.
