Well, Samantha, we already know that you'd like
nothing more than to bow down, apologize, and
surrender to the muslim world, so this is no real
suprise.

Not at all. I considered him at the time of the
election to be the lesser evil, Gore being a far
greater threat. Furthermore, in comparing him to al
Qaeda and other Islamists around the world, comparing
him to Greenpeace and other luddites around the world,
and comparing him to the EU/UN and other socialist
governments around the world, I consider him to be a
far lesser evil than any of these.
While I greatly dislike the drug laws, being able to
smoke a doobie on occasion doesn't improve my civil
liberties and lifestyle to anywhere near the same
degree as my ability to freely pack heat when I feel
it is warranted, and both Bush and Ashcroft have
therefore done light years more good for my civil
rights in the last year than any left wing
administration or organization has ever, or will ever,
accomplish.
These days I comply with the drug laws because it is a
mandate of my job, enforced by random testing. I
currently cannot afford to get any cloning done, so
I'm not so worried about that, and when I do I'm
likely to wish to keep it so private that the
government will never find out about it anyways, since
it's one of those things entirely outside the
Constitutional powers of the feds, IMHO.
