And we owe it to the neocons!

However, this kind of totalitarian measure might have come from the democrats.

The fact that only one senator, Russ Feingold, a Democrat voted against the bill, is rather frightening; all the others voted for it.

Today, apart from the few conservatives of libertarian or tea-party tendencies there is really not much to hope from Washington politicians.

Is it too ambitious or too naive to look for an honest politician? Or simply a useful one?
