I don't want to seem continually to be ragging on the Moose, but...

What a lie. I'd like nothing better than to rag on The Moose every day, but (a) I don't have the time and/or no one will pay me to and (b) calling attention to his goofier-and-goofier observations is counterproductive. (Notice how no one seems to link to anything the Moose says any more?)

One can predict what the Moose will support with great precision these days; he's for anything that pushes his paranoia button. He's for strikes on Iran, he's for the latest unbelievably invasive phone records database. Sees nothing wrong with it. We're fighting a war, people.

I've figured out the pattern. He will be for anything that even vaguely counters things that scare him, and virtually everything scares The Moose. Scares the PANTS off him, to the point where he will surrender ANYTHING. Want my phone records? Fine, says the Moose. Take my bank records while you're at it.

Moose is incapable of looking at it any other way because his is a binary world. He's as bad as the worst of the pee-their-pants right: Are you for terrorism, or are you for security? Choose!

In my book one has to display a more-than-nodding acquaintance with the institutions and protections that make America what she is in order to be perceived as ANY sort of progressive. I've never seent the Moose display any such thing.

Here's a real question: If your criteria for "what's OK" is anything that appears to counter terrorism in any possible way (I say appears because, as Moosie of course doesn't know because he doesn't think this hard, the results of this intelligence excercise aren't a mystery; they were worthless), then what will you NOT surrender to the Gestapo? Where DO you draw the line?

Apparently, the Moose doesn't draw the line anywhere at all. Sounds more like a sheep to me.
