Conservatives Endorse the Fuhrer Principle - by Paul Craig Roberts
Conservatives Endorse the Fuhrer Principle - by Paul Craig Roberts:
"Last week's annual Conservative Political Action Conference signaled the transformation of American conservatism into brownshirtism. A former Justice Department official named Viet Dinh got a standing ovation when he told the CPAC audience that the rule of law mustn't get in the way of President Bush protecting Americans from Osama bin Laden...
Former Republican congressman Bob Barr, who led the House impeachment of President Bill Clinton, reminded the CPAC audience that our first loyalty is to the U.S. Constitution, not to a leader. The question, Barr said, is not one of disloyalty to Bush, but whether America 'will remain a nation subject to, and governed by, the rule of law or the whim of men.'
The CPAC audience answered that they preferred to be governed by Bush. According to Dana Milbank, a member of the CPAC audience named Richard Sorcinelli loudly booed Barr, declaring: 'I can't believe I'm in a conservative hall listening to him say Bush is off course trying to defend the United States.' A woman in the audience told Barr that the Constitution placed Bush above the law and above non-elected federal judges."

The people of Germany in the last century did not see it coming, or listen carefully, or care enough to act. I wonder if the people of the USA in this century will leave their beer and pizza and WWF long enough to smell the smoke.
Beer and Pizza are a tough combo to beat. :)
