What a difference a decade makes
From the comments:
And I also liked this post about the difference between liberals and conservatives -- for liberals ideas and politics are viewed and explored abstractly, for conservatives its part of their identity.
Back under Clinton, we were working toward getting universal health care AND free public junior-college education.
Six years later, under Bush, we're hoping we can hold on to habeus corpus.

Thanks for noticing. (Nice little blog you've got here.)
The liberal/conservative thing comes from talking to conservatives - you may think you're having an abstract discussion, but cross some invisible line, and they can snap.
It's interesting to observe it in action.
