Sigh. Good recap of issues that, were you to replace the words “Bush” with “Clinton,” we’d be seeing Republican riots in the street.

It’s easy to accept being the subject of a monarchy when you agree with the king.

We don’t have a republican form of government because it is the most efficient, the safest, or the best representation of the majority. We have it because we used to believe that it was better to deal with the inefficiency of checks and balances with trustworthy leaders in power than to not have those controls when and if power fell into the hands of men who are evil, corrupt, stupid, or insane.
