They're Out There...
I'm writing my Mass Media Law paper on the Patriot Act and I came across this while researching.
Conservative Voices Against Patriot Act II
Last night, John Stewart said on the Daily Show that the Democrats are now the third party, the first two being the divided Republican party. The slow but sure erosion of certain civil liberties in the wake of 9/11-reactionary legislation seems to be one of the issues dividing them. Heck, maybe they'll become so splintered that they'll finally catch up with the Dems.
Also: click the comic for more un-PC silliness.
