The End of Moderation. The Bush Administration's hard right turn after 9-11 forces all Americans to take firm stands on various issues. If you say that you support George W. Bush, many people will assume that you despise the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, working people and the middle class. "Isn't there some middle ground?" a friend asked me the other day. "Can't I be a moderate Republican?" Not any more. Neo-McCarthyism is at war with democracy, and it's time for every American to stand up and be counted.

I keep hearing about this Neo_McCarthyism, but have no idea what it refers to. Perhaps with efforts to do better at investigating terrorist infiltration of this country? Unlike Joseph McCarthy's Communists, who were of questionable threat value, we KNOW the muslim extremists living in this country are a very dire threat. Some people remain locked in old modes of thought.
