Here’s a nice piece on the propaganda war against the Patriot Act.

It occurs to me that the next time we hear John Kerry et al bemoaning the administration’s exploitation of “fear” to win politically, we might ask how the campaign to make Americans terrified of their own government is morally superior. After all, I’m constantly seeing these ACLU ads in magazines about how we should fight the police state. If you want to say that the administration is using the politics of fear, I’m willing to have that argument. But it seems to me, so are the Democrats. What it boils down to is one side says fear Americans the other side says fear people who want to blow-up Americans. That’s a good debate for the Right, as far as I’m concerned.
