The Crux of the Matter
After repeatedly being flummoxed by conservative friends and family members' take (straw men, paranoia, etc.) on this administration, I've finally found the exact words to rebut them:
"Implicit in the term 'national defense' is the notion of defending those values and ideas which set this nation apart. . . . It would indeed be ironic if, in the name of national defense, we would sanction the subversion of . . . those liberties . . . which make the defense of the nation worthwhile."
I mean, this has been the elephant in the room, hasn't it? It's impossible to argue with this logic and yet, no one has put it so succinctly as Her Honor, despite the years of reckless abandon with which Bushie and Co. have "run" this country.
